TOP 10
#1 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank #1
This five-issue Indie mini-series was likely overlooked during its release. However, the book was very positively received. In 2020, the book was picked up by Picturestart, aiming to make it a full-feature film. The story premise is intriguing. It focuses on career criminal Danny being pulled back into one more bank robbery by his former colleagues. His teenage daughter overhears this conversation and decides to recruit her own three friends to rob the bank the day before so her father doesn’t have to resume his life of crime. What took this book to the top spot this week is the recent announcement that action star Liam Neeson is in talks of starring in the film. Neeson’s stardom has propelled this book back into the spotlight. We tracked 38 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 183%, with a high sale of $93 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw of $18.
#2 Eye Lie Popeye #1 – Trevor Richardson – Video Game Homage
Have you ever wondered how Popeye lost his eye? This book aims to answer that question once and for all. It also marks the return of Popeye to comic books in this new monthly series. Popeye is a well-known character, and this new manga approach is compared to top-selling books like Dragon Ball and One Piece. The appeal of this character and the homage cover to the retro game Punch-Out! make this a top grab of the week. This book has already received tons of great reviews for its story and artwork! We tracked 32 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 117%, with a high sale of $40 for an NM copy and a current NM raw of $31.
#3 Aliens Vs. Avengers #1 – Mark Brooks – Virgin (1:100)
In a comic where a new alien force attacks the Marvel universe, Venom would be a character that charges to the front lines. Mark Brooks illustrated a phenomenal cover that has caused a 1:100 variant to take the #3 spots this week! The virgin cover has become a highly collectible cover for both Venom and Alien fans. This is the first issue of a four-part limited series, causing fans to anticipate future crossover covers as badass as this one. Plus, there is a new costume for a fan-favorite web-slinger! We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 21%, with a high sale of $190 for an NM copy and a current NM raw of $174.
#4 The Avengers Vol.1 #55
After the immense success of Deadpool & Wolverine, the MCU has been pushing announcements on upcoming projects. The first announcement was with the casting for Dr. Doom during SDCC. Casting news is still bringing back the greats, with the latest news announcing that James Spader will return to play Ultron in the Vision Quest series on Disney+. Ultron is a top-tier Marvel villain that many believed was not adequately represented in the Age of Ultron film. Now that he’s back, he’s getting a second chance to become a truly terrifying technological terror. Since the announcement was positively received, Ultron’s first appearance has received significant attention in the aftermarket. We tracked 14 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 14%, with a high sale of $650 for a CGC 9.4 copy and a current VG raw of $35.
#5 Sonic The Hedgehog #72 – Nathalie Fourdraine – Cover RI (1:10)
There were amazing books released this past week and Sonic is one of them. The Speedster has a good track record of putting out great 1:10 retailer incentive covers. Fourdraine’s epic cover comes at the best time. Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s trailer just dropped this past week. It was widely praised, showing how far the trilogy has come in generating an audience for the beloved blue hedgehog! We tracked 24 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 23%, with a high sale of $20 for an NM copy and a current NM raw of $15.
#6 Aliens Vs. Avengers #1 – Mark Brooks
This cover is an excellent welcome for the Alien franchise crossover! It is an action-packed cover of the Xenomorph going toe-to-toe with our favorite Marvel alien. It not only kicks off the series with a bang, but it also is a minor key. Miles Morales debuts a new costume at the end of the book, and it looks like fans like the look. Sales for this book have been taking off, alongside the 1:100 virgin variant version of this cover! We tracked 19 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 448%, with a high sale of $75 for an NM copy and a current NM raw of $40.
#7 Deadpool #31
Marvel is doubling down on Deadpool. Just before the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel announced that the merc-with-a-mouth would meet his demise in DEADPOOL #6 (2024). Following this issue, Ellie Camacho will take on her father’s mantle as the new Deadpool. DEADPOOL #7 will debut on October 10 of this year, and fans are preparing for Ellie to step up to the plate by picking up her first appearance!

We tracked 27 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 2%, with a high sale of $59 for an NM copy and a current NM raw of $43.
#9 Grommets #4 – Chuck BB (1:10)
Grommets is one of those rare comic books that is authentic to its time. It is a slice of life, a nostalgic trip back to a different era. The first book was a hit, and subsequent issues showed the same promise. After every debut, we see the 1:10 retailer incentive take a bump in the after-market. It’s a great series to pick up if you want to get thrown back into a different generation. We tracked 12 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 16%, with a high sale of $25 for an NM copy and a current NM raw of $22.
#10 The Power Fantasy #1 – Caspar Wijngaard – Regular
This book has been steadily making waves in the aftermarket. One week, it will spike into the top ten, and other weeks, it drops into the runner-ups. However, since its debut, it has maintained its position as a top-selling book in the aftermarket. The story and artwork have received positive praise all around. When the book hit the aftermarket, the price soared. Now that prices seem to be cooling off a bit, books are moving faster for those who missed out on this first issue! We tracked 16 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 70%, with a high sale of $50 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw of $14.
