#9 STAR WARS WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS JABBA THE HUTT #1 – BERNARD CHANG | MARVEL | 2021
As we frequently note, Star Wars comics are ripe with the first appearance of characters we can barely pronounce. Due to this, it doesn’t take much to help a Star Wars book trend. Recent highlights around this issue and its various variants are a perfect example of this. This issue features the first full appearance of the Bounty Hunter Deva Lompop. It’s unknown if we’ll see her in future content. However, her fun and unique look have made her a recent fan favorite. We tracked 20 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 144% and had a high sale of $100 for a CGC 9.8. Raw copies are trending at an FMV of $12.

#6 NOVA #1 | MARVEL | 1976

His first appearance in this issue has been trending ever since Kevin Feige first mentioned it several years ago. With official confirmation, this issue is now on fire, with 42 copies tracked at a 7-day trend of 108% and a high sale of $750 for a CGC 9.6.

#4 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #93 – GERARDO SANDOVAL (1:25) | MARVEL | 2022
Ben Reily, a clone of Peter Parker, embarks on a new persona as the villain CHASM. This new role will have MANY fans divided.

#1 BATMAN BEYOND: THE WHITE KNIGHT #1 | DC | 2022
This issue introduces several new appearances that could turn into future key Bat roles (it’s also a fantastic read). However, it’s currently trending due to a cameo appearance of Red Hood’s sidekick, a new Robin. It was quickly the hottest book of the week with 268 copies sold, a 7-day trend of 345%, and had a high sale of $34 for a raw copy.
