RUNNERS UP
11 Absolute Batman #2 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
ABSOLUTE BATMAN continues to rock the aftermarket! The series has already been massively successful, hitting our top lists more so than any other new series. The series got another popularity bump when Scott Snyder stated that he has long-term plans for the Absolute Batman universe. The next arc of the series is set to feature villains like Absolute Penguin, Two-Face, and Riddler. All of these characters debuted in this issue! The series has been so popular that the first appearance of these villains is sure to be ever popular as we approach seeing them reach their true potential in future storylines. We tracked 53 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 3% with a high sale of $27 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $19.
12 Predator #1 – Chris Warner
While humans happily chop up turkeys this month, Predator: Badlands is chopping up the box office! It had a massive debut, topping even the original Predator box office. It is currently the highest-grossing Predator film in the franchise. While initial impressions were mixed, it looks like the latest installment has kicked off a new era for the Predator! We tracked 22 copies sold at a 7-day growth trend of 21%, with a high sale of $493 for a CBCS 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $93.
13 Absolute Batman #15 – Jock (1:50)
What do you get when you cross one of the most popular series of the year with one of the most iconic villains? Massive value. The announcement of Absolute Joker sent fans to the preorders as soon as they could. Did we forget to add that a popular artist is illustrating the 1:50 retailer incentive? This book has a ton of awesome things going for it, which is why this is the second week it is trending on preorders… nearly a month away from its release! We tracked 20 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 16% with a high sale of $160 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $50.
14 Simpsons Comics And Stories #1
Emmy-winning comedy writer Dan McGrath has passed away. The iconic writer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill died on Friday at NYU Langone Hospital. His most notable episodes include “The Devil and Homer Simpson”, “Bart of Darkness”, and “Homer’s Phobia”. Everyone has their own way of mourning and honoring a lost legend. For many fans, that means adding the first comic appearance of The Simpsons to their collection. Rest in peace to the legendary Dan McGrath. We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 27% with a high sale of $240 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $15.
15 Absolute Batman #10 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
The first crossover in the Absolute Universe is getting closer! Beginning in December, ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #15 kicks off the crossover between Wonder Woman and Batman. ABSOLUTE BATMAN #16 continues the crossover, when Bruce needs Wonder Woman’s assistance in curing Waylon Jones (aka Killer Croc). It makes sense that this book is trending, considering it is the first appearance of Waylon Jones. Clearly, Snyder has big plans for the character! We tracked 15 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 4% with a high sale of $30 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $22.
16 Witchblade #16 – Sozomaika – Virgin (1:25)
This cover is unapologetically attractive, in more ways than one. On top of the attractive artwork, virgin cover, and retailer incentive status, this book is also illustrated by fan-favorite artist, Sozomaika. The book is also a landmark issue, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Witchblade. AND, if that wasn’t enough, it is also a tribute to Michael Turner’s first depiction of Sara in her iconic red dress. A great addition to any collection of Witchblade, Sozomaika, and femme fatales. We tracked 12 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 0% with a high sale of $45 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $35.
17 Venom #250 – Nick Bradshaw – Muppets
If you can’t get your hands on SECRET WARS #8, why not go for the Muppet version instead? This Muppet homage cover made a huge splash a few weeks ago and then quieted down. It is still a hot cover to track down. Not only does it feature a fantastic homage, but it also marks the return of Knull, the first appearance of Hela as the Queen in Black, and first team appearance of the Cult of the Void. We tracked 10 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 4% with a high sale of $32 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $29.
18 Warrior #1
Here’s a story that deserves another shot at a live-action. V for Vendetta was originally released in 2005. It has been 20 years, but HBO is looking to bring back the property. The project is being produced by James Gunn and Peter Safran, and is looking at a full series for the streaming service. Also, it was announced that V for Vendetta will return to theaters on Nov. 2026 for a limited 20th anniversary run. This news announcement was huge for fans of the series. After two decades, they are ready to get more from V! We tracked 8 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 4% with a high sale of $229 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $149.
19 DIE: Loaded #1 – Peach Momoko – Virgin (1:50)
The sequel to the comic book series DIE is here! DIE: LOADED was an unexpected treat for fans of the previous series. The RPG-based story left many readers on a cliffhanger, with no definite date set for a revival. It wasn’t until this past San Diego Comic-Con that fans caught wind that the series would return. IMAGE spent a lot of time hyping up the series and brought on super star artist Peach Momoko to illustrate the 1:50 retailer incentive! It was a great choice because the cover is psychedelic, bewildering, enchanting, and every way that is wonderfully weird. Even if you’ve never heard of the series, this Momoko cover is sure to be a classic! We tracked 9 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 100% with a high sale of $70 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $58.
20 Spawn #1 – Todd McFarlane – Direct
Don’t worry, it’s not just you. Every time Spawn hits our top lists, we rush to dig up any news about the future of the Spawn movie. Unfortunately, McFarlane is sticking to his word about not revealing anything else about the movie until he has big news to promote. Still, this book is one of the most epic books to come out of the 90s. It is not difficult to find and makes for a perfect key issue for entry-level collectors. It is one of the best-selling covers on the aftermarket! We tracked 25 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 3% with a high sale of $4,125 for a CGC 9.9 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $19.
