By comic book historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com Check out his site for his current $2 Comics Heating Up sale.
As a comic book historian I love keeping track of stats.
So I thought it would be interesting to keep a solid log of every single comic that goes up in value.
This calendar is a log of every comic that suddenly becomes hotter and jumps in value with an actual date.
This list should be continually updated and I hope others will add any comics that I may have missed.
Over a period of time we can look for trends and make interesting comparisons

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
When a Enormous Phantom CGC 9.8 sells for $450 on eBay, I think we have a winner. If it was a competition that is. Standard cover B CGC went for $145.
Should make the links to “Sold” listings to get a better idea of actual sales numbers. 🙂
Agent POYO sir, can you please get on top of making Chew NOT end…ever!?!?
I wish. I actually told Rob at Wizard World Austin last year that I’ll likely cry when it ends. 🙂
In other news I will probably have a set of Chew 1-30 up for sale before the final issue comes out.
when is the last issue or is it speculation still
I think it has always been known that it was a finite series.
Last I heard or read, they said it would probably go to issue 60.
I know I have sat on the complete set. Picked it up the week it was released. Should have sold a few times and bought the omnivore editions.
I was late to the game, I have 1-3 and then 15 and up. I plan to make a complete set but actually figured I might wait until it comes to a closure, seems some cool off after they finish so picking up the issues 4-14 might be nicer on my wallet (well, I can only hope). 🙂
Did he cancel attending WW Austin this year? I saw him listed a while back but hadn’t seen it lately. A largely growing trend with WW is creators walking away from getting tables. He’s out, I’m skipping it too!
I haven’t kept up with the artists so far this year, usually check them out a few weeks out. Maybe he’s out cause of his new family addition at the end of July, babies like lots of attention.
He was one of the primary reasons I went last year and to get the Walking Dead covers he did for it.
Can’t believe Face Value #1 has gone up that much. It’s already a $20 book. Anyone getting the 3D covers, I’m only getting two.
I’m not budging on the 3D covers this round. I spent too much time/money/resources trying to get the ones I wanted last round only to find out most shops had most of the covers available weeks later.
Passing myself. Might pick up the Joker Harley one though.
Yeah, there might be a few I pick up but for the most part, I’m passing this round.
My pick ups this week:
Miracleman #10
Nailbiter #5
Grimm Fairy Tales of Terror #2
Moon Knight #7
Squidder #3
Crossed Badlands #60
Uber #17
Woods #5
Nightbreed #4
Iron Fist #6
Also got:
Enormous #2 x2
Enormous #3 x2
Have 4 full sets of enormous now besides mine so will list some.
My pick books are on shipment from tfaw.
What you all pick up this week?
Batman Eternal #22 (might be getting dropped soon)
Hinterkind #11
Twilight Zone #8
God Hates Astronauts #1 x 6 (two of each cover, ordered two of the Chew homage online)
Nailbiter #5
Sidekick #8 (almost got dropped a few issues back but got dark and interesting, not a bad read to be honest).
Southern Bastards #4
Black Widow #10
Moonknight #7 (Awesome, just awesome).
Original Sin #8
Punisher #10
Superior Foes Of Spider #15 (probably the most underrated book I think, so good).
Big Trouble Little China #4
The Names #1 x 2 (found the variant for cover).
Almost got Cloaks but skimmed and passed on it, especially since it’s just a 1 of 4 series.
Dropped Hinterkind
It’s possibly on the verge but something keeps me buying it each month. If I have to cut one from the pull list, it could be one of them that doesn’t make it.
Pretty disciplined week for myself. Passed on all the #1’s with the exception of GHA.
Then kept up with Nailbiter, Woods, and Southern Bastards. Loving those titles, especially Sputhern Bastards. That book and issue #4 is soo good!
Crap. Missed southern bastard
At least it won’t be hard to find. 🙂
I’m showing your lists to my wife, “See, I don’t have a problem” HAA!
Just don’t show my list to my wife.
My wife sees the stack when I get home. Her only concern is, “your reading all of those aren’t you?” And yes, I read everything I buy. If I don’t plan to read it, I don’t buy it.
That was my problem with Hinterkind. I fell behind and lost interest. Also dropped Madame Frankenstein today.
I never even picked it up from the beginning.
Heh, someone should start the blog ComicsCoolingOff where people talk about the issues they’re currently dropping.. 🙂
Ha. Don’t give me ideas. I want a “media” empire.
Soon you’ll be publishing comics.. 🙂
Don’t think I haven’t thought of it.
Does have a nice ring to it.. CHU Comics.
My Wool #1’s from MyComicShop arrived today as well, so now I can read them and then my #2 from last week. Yay!
Nice. I have been picking up copies. Just sold one for $36 this week. My LCS got shorted on Face Value. Disappointed.
My pickups:
Nailbiter 5
Southern Bastards 4
GHA 1
Silent Hill Downpour Anne’s Story 1
Original Sin 8
Names 1
House of the Worm 2
Woods 5
Pretty light week for me but I got catch up reading to do!
Let me know how the Silent Hill was. Almost picked it up
Same here.
Anyone else looking forward to Copperhead #1? Appears to be almost sold out through a few online retailers.
I added it to my pull list to check out next week. My pick of the week next week though is Wilds End.
My pick for next week is…who am I kidding. I’ll be seeking out more Enormous books lol.
Just got more 2’s and 3’s yesterday. Was going to sell but got an email saying hold… Will tell you why later.
Come on, spill the beans already 😉
Can’t go wrong with that pick. 🙂
Still on the fence w Wilds End. I’ve got 2 virgin covers and 5 regs on the way, but I’m seeing many more of them available at this point than at this point than w titles like Brass Sun, Wool and Enormous. Midtown seems to have tons available to order for next week. Don’t know how good they’ll be on the quick flip.
My picks are not just for speculation at times but for reading and the artwork. 🙂
Thank you poyo for sending copies to me.
Sent from my iPhone
>
Copies?
Sorry poyo giving you credit for something you didn’t do. Someone sent me signed variants for it.
It’s all good.
Yep. Preordered months ago, but that may be cuz they looked similar to Stormtroopers on the cover.
Face Value well on its way to being the hottest book out ..
Sellng a few?
Got my Face Value at Graham Crackers. Not sure if they are sold out. Anyone know if they are planning any more Haunted issues beyond #4?
Not to my knowledge but the back of issue 4 seemed at more or was I imagining things?
Nice. Good grab was it in person or online where you got it?
Online. Thanks to a tip here at good old CHU:).
