Covrprice.com Top Ten for Week of 4/7/23

Since Covrprice.com  came on the scene, they have become a go to spot for watching eBay trends on comics. They scour thousands of eBay sales to cultivate data to spotlight the hottest selling comics. Here is this week’s Top Ten Comics:

#1 THE TERRIFICS #1 | DC | 2018
James Gunn, you sly devil. Recently, he posted of photo on Twitter featuring the characters that make up The Terrifics. Primarily known as an analog of the Fantastic Four, the team is comprised of Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, and Phantom Girl. This has led fans to speculate they could be the next characters adapted in his all-new DCU. Fans immediately went to the aftermarket to secure a copy of their first appearance, pushing this book to the top spot! Keep in mind that this is still in no way a confirmation. We tracked 63 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 253%, with a high sale of $27.50 for a current raw NM FMV of $16.

#2 MEET THE SKRULLS #1 | MARVEL | 2019
It was back in August 2022 when the solicitation for Secret Invasion dropped on Disney+ to go with a release date of Spring 2023. We touched on it then, detailing reports of a group infiltrating Shield and other agencies for years. Many rumors were swirling about who Emilia Clarke would play at the time, and most speculated she would be playing G’iah, who first appeared in this book. Well, they were on to something, as Vanity Fair recently confirmed she will be playing the character! We tracked 41 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 324%, with a high sale of $200 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $21.

#3 DRAGONLANCE #1 | DC | 1988
Per Comic Book Resources, “Joe Manganiello confirms he’s working with Wizards of the Coast to adapt the D&D-based Dragonlance novels as a live-action television series.” While the first traditional comic appearance began with this 1988 series, it was preceded by these three 1987 to 1988 graphic novels. It’s interesting to see if this news affects either of these early/first comic appearances, as news of this series has yet to receive a significant press rollout. We’ll keep an eye on it as fans are getting their fill of D&D at the theatre, which appears to be tracking well with audiences. We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 326%, with a high sale of $40 for an NM+ raw copy and a current NM FMV of $25.

#4 AVENGERS #52 | MARVEL | 1968
Multiple sources report that actor Demetrius Grosse has joined the cast of Disney +’s WONDER MAN series, playing the role of Marvel’s Grim Reaper. As you may know, the Grim Reaper is the brother of Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man, who will be played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Candyman, Watchmen, The Matrix Resurrections). In this issue, the Grim Reaper’s first appearance is nice and tidy (with a cover appearance as well). This book is already on the move. We tracked 15 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 291%, with a high sale of $1,200 for a CGC 9.6 and a current raw NM FMV of $225.

#5 HARLEY QUINN #28 DAN MORA (1:25) | DC | 2023
The community sure does love a good Harley Quinn cover, and that’s precisely what they got with this Mora 1:25 variant. Mora has developed quite a crowd of supporters with his work on recent Batman books, and fans have grown to love his depiction of Harley. We tracked 21 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 205%, with a high sale of $40 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $34.

#6 NO/ONE #1 GERALDO BORGES REGULAR | IMAGE | 2023
This book has received a ton of hype since it was announced, even more so now that it’s released. Kyle Higgens developed a massive fanbase with his Radiant Black series and, along with Brian Buccellato, appears to be doing so again with this book. Featuring murders, vigilantes, copycat killers, and a heavy dose of mystery, the fanbase is intrigued by this original story. Combine that with heavyweights like Patton Oswalt and Rachael Leigh Cook attached to the project via an in-universe podcast, and you have a very active aftermarket! We tracked 31 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 94%, with a high sale of $20 for a raw copy and an NM FMV of $16.

#7 STAR WARS RETURN OF THE JEDI JABBA’S PALACE #1 ALEX MALEEV (1:25) | MARVEL | 2023
This book features a mysterious first appearance of Sylvan Khan, an enemy of Jabba the Hutt. While the future for the character remains a mystery, fans were all over this Maleev 1:25 variant featuring a stunning depiction of Boba Fett. He made a name for himself in Return of the Jedi and is celebrating his 40th anniversary with a slate of books like this. The fandom always loves a good Bobba cover! We tracked 38 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 72%, with a high sale of $49 for a raw copy and a VF FMV of $19.

#8 DCEASED: WAR OF THE UNDEAD GODS #7 BEN OLIVER HOMAGE | DC | 2023
While it didn’t retain its top spot, it still holds strong on our Top Ten. Ben Oliver brought the HEAT when he put pen to paper and brought to life a phenomenal homage to the Purple Rain album cover featuring Batman and Harley Quinn. While Batgirl #40 (2015) and Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow #19 knocked out the homage, they tend to be a bit pricey. Fans viewed it as an opportunity to pounce on this more affordable cover, making it rain on the aftermarket as we tracked 21 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 125%, with a high sale of $15 for a raw copy and an NM FMV of $8.

#9 DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: SATURDAY MORNING ADVENTURES #1 TIM LEVINS COVER C | IDW | 2023
IDW tapped into some serious nostalgia with their Saturday Morning Adventure series. Adapting the likes of TMNT, G.I. Joe, and, you guessed it, Dungeons & Dragons. Some may be too young to remember, but in the later 80s, kids religiously tuned into this beloved animated series. Well, this book taps into that nostalgia, adapting a lost episode of the original show with the style it was known for front and center on the cover. It doesn’t hurt there is a feature D&D release in theaters to help drive interest to this hard-to-find comic! We tracked 25 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 102%, with a high sale of $70 for a raw copy and a VF FMV of $20.

#10 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES THE LAST RONIN #1 | IDW | 2020
As mentioned in the description, per Gamespot, Paramount has partnered with an unknown studio to adapt this beloved story into a video game. Many read that headline and thought, “Yeah, that sounds cool.” That is until they read further and discovered it would be in the style of God of War. The community collectively said, “Yes, please,” returning to this first issue that started that epic narrative to understand better what this game would be about. To all the Turtles fans, COWABUNGA, it’s a good time to be a fan! We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 128%, with a high sale of $500 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a raw NM FMV of $60.
