One way to gauge how hot a comic is/will be is by the Advanced Reorder list from Diamond Comics. This is a list of books being most reordered by retailers before the publication date of the comic. Continue reading “Diamond Comics Advanced Reorders”

Walking Dead 108 King Ezekial (and his tiger)
So we all know Walking Dead back issues equal money. No surprise there. It usually takes a few issues before you start to see a spike in price on the newer issues. Well, Walking Dead 108 is breaking that trend with the introduction of Ezekial and his tiger. Not sure how this character is going to play out, but his first appearance is already spiking in the 2 weeks since the book came out. Currently, the book is selling on average for $6.99-$9.99, with a few exceptions of one that sold for $1.99 (???) and one that sold for $16.99. The price increase started happening over the last three days (March 25-28.) Before March 25th, the book was selling for +/- cover price.

I am not saying its dead…..
I am not saying the Comic Price guide model is dead, I am saying it is on life support. Currently, there are no monthly comic book price guides (think Wizard Magazine) that accurately track prices. The big books come out every year, but they do not capture the prices of books that spike before or after the publication of the book. If a book starts spiking on eBay before the book is published, it will not be captured until the next edition. Basically, if you are looking for newer hot books, the price guide model is dead. If you are looking for older books, it still might not be helpful.

There has not been a lot of press on this book, but it did make the cover of previews. Continue reading “East of West Jonathan Hickman”
The Activity by Nathan Edmondson
Maybe it’s due to the coverage about it’s realism in the USA Today, maybe it’s due to the movie deal tweeted, but Image Comics has another breakout success (on the secondary market that is) with Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerards The Activity. Regardless, the secondary market movement is bringing in new readers to this already growing book. Continue reading “The Activity by Nathan Edmondson”
The Damned Prodigal Sons by Cullen Bunn
Following up on the break out success of Cullen Bunn’s Sixth Gun, comes Cullen Bunn’s next hit The Damned Prodigal Son. I was able to find a few of these in my LCS and they are selling well. Showtime has picked this up for a series. Continue reading “The Damned Prodigal Sons by Cullen Bunn”
New site
If you have followed me over from our old blog site, thank you. We will now be hosting on wordpress just because it is easier for us to deal with. We will still provide you with the same great news and speculation on comics that are rising on the eBay market. We still will give you this information before others find out so you can still find them in your local comic shops.
Thanks again, and if you are new, welcome and enjoy the speculation.
