#13 PENTHOUSE COMICS #1 CHRISTINA WONDER PHOTO (LIMITED 1000) | PENTHOUSE | 2024
Some may think Penthouse Comics is a new thing, but back in 1994, it was all the rage before it shut down due to erratic behavior by the bigwigs. Well, 30 years later, Behemoth Comics revitalized the brand to much fanfare. Of the 12 covers released, this book is leading the pack. Who knew pairing women with thrilling action stories would appeal to a wide swath of the comic community?! We tracked 17 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 266%, with a high sale of $80 for an NM+ raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $30.
#14 WOLVERINE #88 DELUXE EDITION | MARVEL | 1994
Upon the announcement Hugh Jackman would return as Wolverine for Deadpool 3, this book went bonkers. Then the set photos leaked, and it went bananas. It’s experiencing less movement after the first trailer, but it’s still moving! The community is pumped for a Wolverine/Deadpool battle. If the trailer was any indication, we’re in for one for the ages. We tracked 36 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 123%, with a high sale of $380 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $77.
#15 BATMAN #142 | DC | 2024
This book has slid to the Runners list, replaced by the foil variant. Still, fans are excited about the beginning of the Year One storyline for the Joker. With hints of an homage to Batman #638, it’s become a modern ‘key’ for a portion of the massive Joker fanbase. We tracked 32 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 136%, with a high sale of $15 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $10.
#16 MAD MAGAZINE #36 AN IDIOT WITH A BOX OF CRAYONS | DC | 2024
The Kansas City Chiefs did it again, going all the way to secure the Lombardi Trophy. For fans of football, it’s not necessarily surprising. What is surprising is how many new fans came aboard this year, strictly for Taylor Swift’s proximity to the Chiefs and the NFL. It’s been a national sensation to the point NFL broadcasts cut over to Swift at least six times a game. Now that the season is over, fans have to find their fix elsewhere. This cover featuring the lovebirds in the style of the classic American Gothic painting is sure to draw attention, and the aftermarket took notice. We tracked 39 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 107%, with a high sale of $32 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $19.
#17 WOLVERINE #36 RYAN STEGMAN REGULAR | MARVEL | 2023
To the surprise of many, Hellverine has been a smash hit. When it dropped, there was a massive run on this book as collectors wanted the first appearance of the titular hero. It’s done surprisingly well for a modern book over the last few months. It got a recent shot in the arm when Marvel announced there would soon be a Hellverine limited series. He wasn’t on many radars when he first debuted, but the community is prepping for this go-around by revisiting this book. We tracked 34 copies sold, a 7-day trend of 125%, a high sale of $184.64 for a CGC 9.8, and a current NM FMV of $47.
#18 AVENGERS TWILIGHT #2 ALEX ROSS REGULAR | MARVEL | 2024
Alex Ross just has a knack for cranking out incredible Iron Man covers. This book is no different and immediately grabbed hold of fans looking to scratch the itch after issue #1. Marvel is cramming this new series with interesting characters, like the new Bullseye (Ramona Jones). The series has piqued the fan’s interest, resulting in increased movement before issue #3 drops. We tracked 36 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 116%, with a high sale of $17 for an NM+ raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $16.
#19 MARVEL SUPER-HEROES SECRET WARS #8 | MARVEL | 1984
Madame Web is a bomb, but that hasn’t taken anything from this book! Of course, it’s notable for its connections to the famous Black Suit, but it also features the 2nd appearance of Julia Carpenter, Spider-Woman. While she didn’t fully take on the persona in the film, there was enough there that a small subset of the fanbase would like to see another outing. Regardless, this book will always reign supreme as a coveted Black Suit/Venom key. We tracked 39 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 107%, with a high sale of $600 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $228.
#20 THE NEW MUTANTS #98 | MARVEL | 1991
It’s no surprise to see this book hit our lists. It’s the first appearance of Deadpool, a creation that has become one of the most identifiable and profitable Marvel characters ever. Deadpool 3 is on its way, and the fanbase can hardly wait. In the first trailer, Wade Wilson fancies himself a messiah who will save the MCU. Can Deadpool add ‘prophetic’ to his long list of talents? Marvel needs a shot in the arm, and Deadpool is their best chance in the immediate. A lot is riding on this film, but it could push the character to new heights if executed well. It could also open the door for more Marvel projects that are rated R, something the fanbase has been clamoring for. Will Deadpool make history once again? Some think so and opted to pick up his first appearance before we can find out for sure! We tracked 22 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 121%, with a high sale of $1,250 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a raw NM FMV of $403.
