The Top 10

1 Ghost Rider Vol 2 #1 – Direct Edition
SDCC dropped major bombs this past weekend and we’re just starting to feel the resounding impact on the aftermarket! One of the biggest drops was by Marvel, who announced that Ryan Gosling was entering the MCU as Ghost Rider! Ryan Gosling has been hitting major headlines, with his last success Project Hail Mary receiving huge amounts of praise. He is also set to debut in his own Star Wars film in 2027, Star Wars: Starfighter, followed by the MCU Ghost Rider film in 2028! Gosling is heavily speculated to play Johnny Blaze but that doesn’t stop fans from also speculating on a future appearance by Daniel Ketch, who makes his first appearance in this classic Ghost Rider issue! We tracked: 80 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 138% with a high sale of $300 for a Graded 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $27.

2 Ghost Machine 2026 Ashcan #Nn – 2026 SDCC – Prism Foil
There were a ton of exclusive covers at 2026 SDCC but this book hit the mark! If you’re not familiar with Ghost Machine, this is Geoff Johns’ imprint. It is his creator-owned media company that distributes comics through Image. It houses properties like Geiger, Redcoat, Rocketfellers, Rook, and much more. The ashcan features excerpts from the four stories that will launch in 2027. Attendees had to be extremely lucky to grab a copy when ghostmachinepro posted on their instagram, on the last day of SDCC, stating this “crystal” cover was a surprise drop! This cover is extremely scarce on the aftermarket. We tracked: 6 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 133% with a high sale of $300 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $259.

3 Absolute Batman #22 – Jim Lee – 2026 SDCC – Torpedo Comics – B&W
More SDCC exclusive covers hit our list! This cover was illustrated by Jim Lee for one of the most popular titles in comics today. ABSOLUTE BATMAN #22 hit shelves a few weeks ago, showing off Absolute Harley Quinn’s origins. With so much going for Absolute Batman, this key was an immediate grab for most collectors. Now, add in an exclusive B&W cover by a prominent artist and make it a convention exclusive… Well, now you have a recipe for a hot aftermarket cover! We tracked: 9 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 104% with a high sale of $285 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $180.

4 Stuart Fails To Save The Universe #1 – Jim Lee – 2026 SDCC – HBO Max Promo
It is pure marketing genius to release a show on a streaming service that you can promote throughout SDCC. Some may call it risky, with so many other big announcements being made. However, Stuart really shined this year, making his comic book debut in this adaptation of the premier episode of the series! The comic was initially distributed at an HBO Max fan experience, beginning July 23 (when the show debuted). It then was distributed again throughout SDCC at the DC booth. So far, this series has gotten tons of positive reviews, which means this comic could see even more traction! We tracked: 31 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 100% with a high sale of $100 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $53.

5 We Don’t Kill Spiders: Season Of The Witch #1 – Dan Quintana – 2026 SDCC – Virgin (Limited 700)
Dan Quintana drops another major hit with this SDCC exclusive cover! It was a highly limited print, with the cover selling out very quickly. Attendees that were lucky enough to secure a copy avoided the huge price jump on the aftermarket. Quintana is a highly sought after cover artist lately and his exclusives fetch a premium. However, die hard Quintana fans have no reservations about securing their copy on the aftermarket if they missed this drop at SDCC! We tracked: 12 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 60% with a high sale of $200 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $85.

6 Absolute Batman #22 – Jim Lee – 2026 SDCC – Torpedo Comics
The black-and-white version of this cover stands at #3 on this week’s list. This Jim Lee cover kicks ass, even in full color trade dress! It was such a hit with fans, that we are seeing his artwork on our Top Ten twice! We tracked: 14 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 60% with a high sale of $200 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $148.

7 Chainkata #Ashcan – Daniel Warren Johnson – 2026 SDCC
Last week featured the surprise one-per-store black-and-white CHAINKATA ashcan. The ashcan promoted a highly anticipated new series by superstar Daniel Warren Johnson. For those that missed out on getting a copy with their retailer, and were lucky enough to attend SDCC, this is the second ashcan drop. The full-color cover was still an eye-catcher and immediately gained traction on the aftermarket! We tracked: 8 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 48% with a high sale of $125 for a NM+ copy and a current raw NM FMV of $89.

8 JLA / Avengers #3 – Skottie Young – 2026 Facsimile (1:25)
Skottie Young drops yet another killer cover! Leave it to Young to be able to illustrate a cover that sits on our Top Ten among all the SDCC exclusive books. This is the 1:25 retailer exclusive for the JLA/AVENGERS #1 facsimile. Marvel has printed several facsimile covers lately but this 1:25 by Young hit a chord with fans. It is likely due to a massive spread of Young’s artwork, featuring heroes from Marvel and DC alike. A piece of artwork that sent fans on the hunt for this retailer incentive. We tracked: 25 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 44% with a high sale of $150 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $124.

9 Ghost Rider Vol 1 #1
Most of the fandom believes that Ryan Gosling will be playing Johnny Blaze while others think Danny Ketch. Danny Ketch’s first appearance, our #1 this week, is a much easier book to obtain than this one. This book is the Spirit of Vengeance’s first ride in his own solo series. Johnny Blaze gets pitted against a villain called the Witch-Woman and also features the first appearance of Daimon Hellstrom. It’s a packed book with a hefty price, yet still cheaper than MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #5. If fans want to speculate on a Rider, this is a book to put money on! We tracked: 20 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 44% with a high sale of $2,300 for a CGC 9.6 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $532.

10 Nova Vol 1 #1
Nova has been the talk of the town for quite some time. Rumors dropped that a film was in development, then it was a Disney+ show, then rumors it was cancelled, and then supposedly picked up again. Fans petered out on all the flip-flopping news and Nova sales went dormant. This past weekend, Kevin Feige broke the silence on the project. The man himself confirmed that Nova was entering the MCU and that it would be a full feature film! While still in early stages, it was confirmed that Michael Waldron (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Loki S1) would be penning the script. Waldron also commented that he would like to see Glen Powell take on the role of Richard Rider. Another crazy moment to fuel sales on this key issue! We tracked: 21 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 43% with a high sale of $760 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $46.
