THE TOP 10
1 Spirits Of Violence #2 – Luke Ross
The SPIRITS OF VIOLENCE series debuted at the beginning of October, and it was a jam-packed comic. It brought together generations of Ghost Riders but also featured the first appearance of the Spirit of Violence (currently Barbara Ketch). This issue features the Spirit of Violence in all her fiery glory, while brandishing her glowing sword. The flame-haired is particularly stellar artwork. Luke Ross drew a major hit with this cover, and the fanbase responded with massive moves in the aftermarket. We tracked 25 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 361% with a high sale of $60 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $18.
2 Ice Cream Man: The Mortal Coil Shuffle #Nn – Martin Morazzo – Playing Card Set
When this issue of ICE CREAM MAN was announced, fans knew this would be completely innovative or a flow. There was no in-between. The idea of telling a comic book story through a deck of playing cards was something that comic fans have never seen, and many thought to be a gimmick that wouldn’t work out. It turns out, it’s pretty damn cool. Fans have been giving this one-shot high praise. The use of the cards are very purposeful and plays a huge role in immersing the reader into its signature bleak storylines. We tracked 147 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 85% with a high sale of $31 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $24.
3 Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1 – Daniel Warren Johnson – Regular
This annual issue of Absolute Batman is a mega-hit! This issue of Absolute Batman plays on political themes, as Batman goes full brutality on white supremacists. Of course, this means a social media smackdown was incoming. This “feud” featured Daniel Warren Johnson and Chuck Dixon posting illustrations of Batman in polarizing political stances on everyone’s favorite social media battleground, X (formerly Twitter). The posts were enough to send readers searching for where all the controversy began, and BAM! Here we are. Fun fact: this book is also the origin of the Absolute Batmobile. We tracked 265 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 53% with a high sale of $120 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $33.
4 Youngblood #1 – Rob Liefeld – Secret Thank You (1 Per Store)
If you haven’t revisited your Youngblood books in a while, now’s the time! The new YOUNGBLOOD series is coming out this week, and stores are already posting up their secret variant covers. If there is one thing that fans love, it’s scarcity! That rarity of an issue really pushes collectors to the aftermarket to snag up a copy, in fear that the price will increase. This is especially true when the rare variant is a secret one-per-store cover! These secret drops have gotten more popular over the past couple of years, and it drives fans crazy! We tracked 6 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 100% with a high sale of $105 for an NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $99.
5 Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1 – Nick Dragotta
We’ve already covered the controversy surrounding the storyline in this issue. Absolute Batman throws hands with white supremacists and gives them a royal beatdown. It caused a social media back-and-forth, which drew many eyes on this issue. However, this book is also the origin of the Absolute Batmobile. There may be two sets of fans seeking to collect this book: ones who love historically polarizing storylines and others who like key covers. Or, maybe these collectors just enjoy the best of both worlds all in one issue. We tracked 54 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 38% with a high sale of $70 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $19.
6 Absolute Batman #15 – Jock (1:50)
After a year of ABSOLUTE BATMAN, the Absolute Joker is finally revealed… and he is terrifying. At this point, readers are asking themselves if this version of Gotham is worth saving… no one would blame you if you quit, Bruce. After all, this version of the Joker makes Pennywise look like a side-show attraction. The reveal was so mind-blowing that the book is already trending nearly a whole month before its release! Fun fact, Snyder revealed that the red lines that go all the way to Absolute Joker’s eyes are not makeup. They are, in fact, more of his mouth, of which you can clearly see the teeth in this Jock cover! We tracked 39 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 27% with a high sale of $160 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $50.
7 Absolute Batman #2 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
Scott Snyder recently participated in an interview where he shared his vision for the future of ABSOLUTE BATMAN. He revealed that the next arc of ABSOLUTE BATMAN will feature the Scarecrow. Snyder also stated that fans will be seeing the return of Absolute Penguin, Absolute Two-Face, and Absolute Riddler. He has big plans for them in the next arc, and fans were ready to hunt down their first appearances! We tracked 19 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 48% with a high sale of $25 for an NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $20.
8 Absolute Batman 2025 Annual #1 – Meredith McClaren (1:25)
Controversy can fuel sales in comics, and ABSOLUTE BATMAN is no exception. This book sparked a back-and-forth on the social media platform X, between artists Daniel Warren Johnson and Chuck Dixon. They each posted polarizing illustrations of the Dark Knight, putting poor Bruce in the middle of a politically divisive commentary. The book itself featured Absolute Batman going up against white supremacists. And, very much overlooked, it also featured the origin of the Absolute [badass] Batmobile. This book is getting attention for being the harder to find 1:25 retailer incentive cover. We tracked 24 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 33% with a high sale of $31 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $25.
9 Absolute Batman #4 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
Snyder’s latest interview really lit a fire under Absolute Batman’s earlier issues. Snyder revealed that the first arc of the series ABSOLUTE BATMAN, will go on to be 30-40 issues. This means we are just hitting the halfway mark with the debut of Absolute Joker! Additionally, he mentioned that he wants to see ABSOLUTE BATMAN go on to at least 60 issues! There might also be a mini-series featuring Absolute Poison Ivy! We tracked 15 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 9% with a high sale of $45 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $24.
10 Absolute Batman #1 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1 kicked off the popularity of the Absolute universe. This book has been trending on our Top Ten nearly all year! While it may fall off for a week or two, it always finds its way back to the top. With the recent announcements from Scott Snyder, it is likely we will continue to see upticks of interest in the Absolute universe. We’re also set to see the first crossover between Batman and Wonder Woman in the upcoming ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #15, which drops on Christmas Eve! We tracked 71 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 10% with a high sale of $220 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $95.
