1 That Texas Blood #1 – Jacob Phillips – Regular
That Texas Blood is a beloved series, yet wildly under the radar, if fans of the series are to be believed! Recently, it was announced that this series got the option bug and is being developed for TV for FX. That immediately put it on the radar of numerous collectors as it’s a prevalent series in a lot of back issue bins! New fans are coming into the fold while old fans are saying welcome in. Enjoy the ride, it’s a great one. We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 274% with a high sale of $28 for a NM+ copy and a current raw NM FMV of $20.
2 Absolute Batman #20 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
Another week, another Absolute Batman title! But this book is seeing some issues! Fans were ready for this book to hit LCS shelves, as it featured the debut of the Robin mech suits. But many collectors were faced with spine ticks galore due to printing issues. That’s led to NM or better copies commanding a pretty penny, as the majority were only able to get their hands on a damaged copy. Some opted to visit the aftermarket to remedy that issue. We tracked 30 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 4% with a high sale of $20 for an NM+ copy and a current raw NM FMV of $12.
3 Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #345 – Direct Edition
Fans got a treat when Marvel dropped the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, delivering numerous frames of iconic comic covers brought to life. One moment was this issue, with Spidey battling it out with Boomerang on the streets of NYC. That made this book get some immediate attention. It’s also the first appearance of the Carnage symbiote, so that’s a win! We tracked 9 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 111% with a high sale of $135 for a Graded 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $15.
4 Absolute Batman #21 – Dan Quintana – AC Pop Comics – Virgin Foil (Limited 900)
According to solicitations, we’re in for some “final forms” in this issue, but this entry is all about the cover! Dan Quintana absolutely blew up the aftermarket a few weeks ago when his cover for issue #19 broke the internet. Quintana covers have been on a tear since, and fans have apparently taken notice. The book hasn’t even dropped yet, and it’s already trending over $100. But, for a piece of limited Quintana art, fans are willing to open their wallets wide. We tracked 7 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 100% with a high sale of $145 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $123.
5 Absolute Batman #21 – Dan Quintana – AC Pop Comics (Limited 1500)
Again, Dan Quintana is on fire right now. Evidenced by two entries on this list, of the same book! Well, a little different. This version is a little less limited and has that pesky trade dress all over it. Still, it was an opportunity for collectors to add his works to their PC, and add it they did! We tracked 29 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 $65.
6 Club Nephilim #1 – Andrew Tarusov – Spot UV (1:10)
Born of Kickstarter and hailing from the Mercy Sparxx universe, this is the title that keeps on keeping on! Originally available for $10 via Kickstarter, 410 backers opted to make it theirs. Now, this series is hitting the wider collecting kingdom with some fans wanting a piece. They’ve opted to pivot to the aftermarket, but some are willing to make the trek, especially to secure this Andrew Tarusov cover, as he’s seen a massive jump in popularity thanks to his work on Pinupocalypse. We tracked 16 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 21% with a high sale of $110 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $65.
7 The Omega Men Vol 1 #3 – Keith Giffen
This book has landed on this list so many times, it’s insane. But that points to how much fans want to see Lobo! He’s been rumored to show up in a DC film for years. Then, it finally happened, with the comic kingdom ship of Jason Momoa as the character, hitting theatres this month as a supporting character. Oh, the timeline! Still, collectors are snagging up copies in a hurry before the month is out. If the trailers are any indication, we’re in for a killer Lobo! We tracked 23 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 10% with a high sale of $274 for a Graded 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $134.
8 Absolute Batman #5 – Nick Dragotta – Regular
Part five of the original planned six-issue run, this book falls into a weird spot on the aftermarket. It’s early ABM, but it was released at that weird time when fans hadn’t yet grabbed onto this title and run with it. Many missed out on this issue for that reason, as no one knew what was in store. Now, with the series reaching insane heights, collectors are circling back around to fill in the run. We tracked 6 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 45% with a high sale of $94 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $33.
9 Transformers #1 – Daniel Warren Johnson & Mike Spicer – Regular
The 40th anniversary of the Transformers is here! The war between Autobots and Decepticons has captivated audiences for generations. In celebration of the franchise’s anniversary, there will be a rollout of nonstop nostalgia. Hasbro will be promoting a return to the Generation 1 (G1) set of action figures, accessories, and theatrical re-releases. This week is the release of the 40th Anniversary edition of TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE. This is the first issue of 3 in a limited series, officially adapting the film after which it is named. This franchise is a top favorite for many comic collectors, and to prepare for the big celebrations, fans are running to the aftermarket for a copy of the premiere Image comic of Transformers. (Bonus: It is also the first appearance of Carly Witwicky.) We tracked 9 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 19% with a high sale of $110 for a Graded 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $36.
10 Odin #1 – Alex Eckman-Lawn – Secret Thank You Foil
Fans have been hyped for this series to drop since it was announced. Anything James Tynion does typically draws attention, but with a solicitation of Green Room meets Midsommar, it was bound to! As a little icing on top, some LCS received one of the collectors’ favorite gifts, a thank you variant! Foil, no less! That sent collectors who may have missed it at the LCS to the aftermarket in a hurry to secure a copy. We tracked 21 copies sold, at a 7-day growth trend of 12% with a high sale of $80 for a NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $63.
