#10 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #360 MARVEL | 1992 This issue features the 2nd cameo appearance of Carnage, featuring 4 panels of Carnage where he is both named and speaks (introduces himself as CARNAGE)… so, this is finally getting some notice. The first cameo appearance is in #359, but simply as a clump of red symbiote dripping down. It sold 41 copies, had a 7-day trend of 173% and had a high sale of $399.99 for a CGC 9.8.
#9 GHOST RIDER #28 MARVEL | 1992 This book was trending once before, back when Lilith was mentioned to appear in the Hulu Ghost Rider series. However, that show was cancelled and there’s been plenty of speculation of where GR might show up in the MCU since. Well, this speculation is back again thanks to new rumors by the “That Hashtag Show” that a MIDNIGHT SONS (whose first appearance is in this issue) is in development for a film. While this is still very unconfirmed, it moved 74 copies, had a 7-day trend of 132% and had a high sale of $150 for a CGC 9.8.
#8 VENOM LETHAL PROTECTOR #4 MARVEL | 1993 With the heat of the VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE trailer, plus the upcoming Extreme Carnage: Lasher comic mini-series… the various symbiotes who first appeared is in this issue (SCREAM, AGONY, LASHER, PHAGE and RIOT) are all receiving heavy speculation. If you recall, RIOT was the main villain in the first Venom film… which was when this issue first spiked. Since the creators are well aware of the various symbiotes, there’s some potential of another showing up. It sold 90 copies, had a 7-day trend of 132% and had a high sale of $249.99 for a CGC 9.8.

#6 CAPTAIN AMERICA #352 MARVEL | 1989 This issue features the first appearances of the Supreme Soviets, Perun, Red Guardian (Josef Petkus), Sputnik and FantasiaIt.

This sent buyers rushing online to purchase Sputnik’s first appearance in this issue.
