RUNNERS UP
11 We Stand On Guard #1
“We Stand On Guard” is a dystopian comic series set in the future where the United States invades Canada for their water resources. A band of Canadian freedom fighters, known as “Two-Four,” use guerilla tactics to resist the technologically superior American forces and their giant robots. It’s a thrilling and thought-provoking read that raises questions about our future, especially with so much going on with the political landscape lately. The current trade tensions between the US and Canada are what is making this book go off on the aftermarket. Collecting a piece of history is a huge part of collecting, and people are drawing parallels between this book and current international relations. We tracked 20 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 44%, with a high sale of $80 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw price of $3.
12 Spawn #356 – Mark Spears – Regular
Mark Spears is one of the most popular current cover artists in comics. His rise in popularity came from his flagship series, MONSTERS. The classic horror covers have been trending since their release in October. As more collectors become fans of his artwork, we are seeing his other artwork begin to trend. This book was released a few weeks before MONSTERS and features the extremely popular Spawn. While fans wait for the 3rd issue in the series, they’re tracking down Spears’ earlier work! We tracked 66 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 6%, with a high sale of $38 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $31.
13 New Avengers #33 – Gabriele Dell’Otto – Regular
The next big Avengers: Doomsday rumor is here! In the latest rumor, Dr. Strange plays a prominent role in starting the multiversal war. In Multiverse of Madness and What If?…, we see how Dr. Strange can influence the fate of the multiverse. We even see the beginning of an incursion in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The latest theory focuses on Dr. Strange being the cause of all the incursions across the multiverse and Dr. Doom being the one who wants to unite all the universes into one “Battleworld.” It is a fascinating theory that relies on story elements of 2015’s Secret War. This book highlights the first incursion, using Earth as the main collision point. Until we get more information on Avengers: Doomsday, this rumor has caused this book to take off! We tracked eight copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 290%, with a high sale of $28 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $22.

All the featured Marvel Rival covers have been doing really well, but it looks like Magik is the last one standing! Her cover is the only cover left on our top lists, as fans are still chasing this book for their collection. We tracked 17 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 14%, with a high sale of $50 for an NM copy and a current NM raw price of $44.
15 Fantastic Four #49
In a surprising move, the most anticipated Marvel movie of the summer dropped a trailer nearly five days before the Super Bowl! Typically, Fans have had to wait until the Super Bowl to see the first trailers for blockbuster films. This time, Marvel surprised everyone by dropping a teaser that featured huge looks into the movie. Fans were able to see all the character designs, fun interactions, great action, and a tease of the movie’s major MCU villain, Galactus. Galactus was long rumored, then confirmed, and now featured for all to see. While the villain did not show a full look at his overall design, we did see a tease.

Skottie Young does it again! It has been a while since we’ve seen Young’s cover on our top lists. This book isn’t related to a movie rumor; it’s just a great cover, minor key, and retailer incentive!

In case you haven’t heard, Buffy is getting a revamp! (pun intended) Fans of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer will get to see Sarah Michelle Gellar revisit her original role in the series. Although, the show will not focus on her original character. Instead, the show will be a sort of “passing the torch” on to a new slayer. Sarah Michelle Gellar took to Instagram to confirm the news but also to share the journey she took to decide on reprising her role. The idea has been discussed over the course of a few years, and Gellar finally agreed on a single idea, which has won over many fans’ support for the idea of a reboot.

18 Laura Kinney: Wolverine #1 – J. Scott Campbell – 2nd Print – B&Amp;W Virgin (1:25)
Laura Kinney has always been a popular character. Her return in Deadpool & Wolverine took her to a whole other level. This book was first released in December ’24 and introduced new mutants, Emery and Ivan. What really took the book to the next level was the 1st print 1:100 cover by J. Scott Campbell. Fans who missed that cover got a second chance last week with the 2nd print 1:25 retailer incentive cover. This book reprints Campbell’s artwork on a black and white virgin cover. It was a major hit, and waves spread across the aftermarket as everyone tried to grab a cover!

Back in the early days of The Fantastic Four: First Steps rumors, the leak that Julia Garner would play the Silver Surfer caused a bit of a stir. Now that the casting has been confirmed and the trailer released, fans have looked at the casting a bit more favorably. The film’s trailer has definitely renewed faith in many fans’ doubts. With the hype building for the movie, it makes sense that collectors have gone back to this issue. This book features the first appearance of female Silver Surfer, Shalla-Bal.
