#11 MOON KNIGHT #188 BILL SIENKIEWICZ LENTICULAR HOMAGE | MARVEL | 2017
Moon Knight books are SUPER hot! As noted, there are theories out there that Ethan Hawke’s character Arthur Harrow is a misdirection for a more prominent villain to appear, such as The Sun King. His first appearance in this issue has helped all covers jump in price. This was one of the more affordable covers and moved 25 copies with a 7-day trend of 195%, and had a high sale of $150 for a CGC 9.8.
#12 MOCKINGBIRD #1 | MARVEL | 2016
Disney+ HAWKEYE series revealed that Clint’s wife, Laura Barton, was once a key SHIELD. agent. While it wasn’t noted directly, the number inscribed on the watch was “19”, the number designation for Mockingbird in the comics. Despite no direct confirmation, this is enough of one to send folks chasing her key issues, including this once affordable first solo series. After several Youtube channels spotlighted this issue, 22 copies sold, giving it a 7-day trend of 368%, and had a high sale of $36 for a raw copy.
#13 VENOM #4 DAVID YARDIN CLASSIC HOMAGE | MARVEL | 2022

#14 DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE BLOODSTONE #1 DAVID NAKAYAMA| MARVEL | 2022
The first appearance of Lyra Bloodstone fell from the top spot last week to #14 this week. Though, it’s nothing to fret over. It still sold 85 copies with a 7-day trend of 107% and had a high sale of $20.76 for a raw copy.
#15 THOR #20 | MARVEL | 2022
The God of Hammers, free from Mjolnir, is on the warpath to possibly destroy Odin and the Ten Realms. It’s unknown how this revelation will play out, but it doesn’t look good for Thor.

Moon Knight stole “the Thunder” from last week’s hottest books.

Once again, this first Spider-Man 2099 ongoing series returns to the list as it continues to sell well. It sold 46 copies, had a 7-day trend of 103%, and a high sale of $264.50 for a CGC 9.8.
#17 SUPERMAN THE MAN OF STEEL #18 | DC | 1992

#18 STAR WARS #20 | MARVEL | 2016

#19 VENOM #4 JONBOY MEYERS | MARVEL | 2022

#20 STAR WARS DARTH VADER #3 | MARVEL | 2015
BOOK OF BOBA FETT – EPISODE 2 surprised everyone and briefly introduced Black Krrsantan (BK), a Wookie Bounty Hunter. His various covers and key appearances are on fire. Though, the big question is whether or not Doctor Aphra also exists. Having closely worked with BK through her various series, his appearance does lend proof to her existence and possible future appearance. Her first appearance sold 35 copies this week, had a 7-day trend of 96%, and a high sale of $622.14 for a CGC 9.8.
