RUNNERS UP
11 Captain America Vol.1 #113
An old rumor has resurfaced and breathed life back into this book. This book features the death of Captain America (Steve Rogers) and won the Alley Award for the best comic book cover of 1969. So why is it trending? In the Captain America: Brave New World trailer, a brief glimpse of a military funeral is shown. Since the beginning, fans have speculated that this is Steve Roger’s funeral. The theory faded due to not having any other supporting evidence. Since Marvel has been pretty tight-lipped, this theory has resurfaced again as a popular fan theory. There is still no new evidence, but funerals are always a great speculation topic. We tracked ten copies sold at a 7-day growth trend of 81% with a high sale of $62 for a VG copy and a current NM raw price of $40.
12 Absolute Batman #1 – Mitch Gerads
This cardstock cover is the latest Absolute Batman variant to trend on the aftermarket. The dark looming pose is illustrated by Mitch Gerads and has become the latest fan favorite. Fans have been hitting the aftermarket for all kinds of Absolute Batman books and it looks like this variant was a new one to chase this week! We tracked 13 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 10% with a high sale of $21 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $17.
13 Mark Spears Monsters #1 – Mark Spears – Ultimate Comics – Hulk #181 Homage (Limited 300)
The Monsters continue on the list takeover with the first spot on the runner-ups! The first issue is still trending strong and bringing along a ton of variant covers. This homage cover tributes HULK #181, featuring Wolfman and Frankenstein going toe-to-toe. The monster clash we all want to see! We tracked ten copies sold at a 7-day growth trend of 20%, with a high sale of $30 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $30.
14 Mark Spears Monsters #2 – Mark Spears – Cover A – Guess Who’s Back
MONSTERS #1 was a huge hit and continues to be a highly desired series (evident throughout this list!). It makes sense that the second book in the series would see the same amount of success. After all, the book didn’t temporarily skyrocket due to a movie/TV show rumor. Instead, it was an underdog book that caught many by surprise and quickly built up a massive following. We’re likely to continue seeing the positive trend with this series! We tracked 30 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 45%, with a high sale of $20 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $12.
15 Absolute Batman #1 – Jim Lee
While this is a slower week for Absolute Batman, it is in no way significantly slowing down. While other variants may have fallen off the list, this book’s sales still remain strong. Jim Lee is a legend, and Absolute Batman was a massive hit on debut. This is a highly sought-after variant book, and it looks like it aims to stay that way through to the end of the year! We tracked 21 copies sold at a 7-day growth trend of 8%, with a high sale of $30 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $27.
16 Mark Spears Monsters #2 – Mark Spears – Cover B – Spawn #1 Homage
SPAWN #1 is the most popular #1 issue, often trending on our lists. If there ever was a cover to homage, that would be it. Dracula takes center stage as he takes on the iconic Spawn pose for this variant. Another great cover to chase for this hit series! We tracked nine copies sold at a 7-day growth trend of 2%, with a high sale of $19 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $16.
17 Spider-Boy #11 – Paco Medina – Regular
The new generation of heroes is incoming! Spider-Boy is building out his universe, and this book introduces a new character. Spider-Girl enters the world as Bullseye’s apprentice. While we’re still waiting to see how she will affect Spider-Boy’s story, it is likely that she is a character that will stick around. Spider-Boy is creating his own universe for the next generation, and Spider-Girl is a welcome addition! We tracked 16 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 17%, with a high sale of $110 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw price of $20.
18 Mark Spears Monsters #1 – Mark Spears – 2nd Print – Trick Or Treat – Mole Error
This was a huge variant to chase last week! Error variants cause comic book fans to hunt the book down on the aftermarket. When this error showed up, it was a huge hit. There are a ton of variants to chase for this issue, and an error variant might take top priority for certain collectors. Last week saw a huge boom in sales, and while this week has slowed down, it is still a hot variant for the series! We tracked eight copies sold at a 7-day growth trend of 8%, with a high sale of $40 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $36.
19 Scarlet Witch #6 – Ivan Talavera (1:25)
It seems like nowadays, everyone is getting their own protege. This book debuts Wanda’s successor, a young sorceress named Amaranth. If she looks familiar, she first debuted on the cover of SCARLET WITCH #9 – NEW CHAMPIONS VARIANT. Just like many others, these original characters are making their way from a variant cover to an actual in-story appearance. The retailer incentive is making waves on the aftermarket thanks to Talavera’s depiction of the new witch! We tracked 11 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 1%, with a high sale of $36 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $29.
20 The Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #251
Perhaps one of the most memorable scenes in Deadpool & Wolverine, this book continues to trend! While it was only a few seconds, Deadpool travels into a universe that is nearly an exact depiction of this classic cover. The scene was such a surprise to fans that this book has continued trending even 5 months after the debut of the film. We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 0%, with a high sale of $268 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current FN raw price of $27.
