After a down year in 2017, all things X-Men (at least the classic issues) have been on the way up, and it's fitting that the early Chris Claremont issues are getting a boost, particularly those in the #94-100 range. Back in the 1960s, the X-Men were barely staying afloat. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby...
The hype machine cometh. Into the Spider-Verse has set the market ablaze for key issues of all five alternate Spider-Men (and women...and a pig), and this is only the beginning. Into the Spider-Verse hasn't even been released yet, and it's already been nominated for a Golden...
"That's at least a 9.0." "This comic is in very good/fine condition." If you're a beginning collector, that means very little and can be intimidating to hear at a comic convention. But fear not, for I am here to help you make sense of the grading jargon....
Ever since Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther has been among the hottest characters in comics. Now that his solo movie has been nominated for a Golden Globe for best dramatic picture, his first appearance will be even more expensive. Here's the breakdown of the fair market...
Love him or hate him, Todd McFarlane set the standard for 1990s comic art. While his most enduring work tends to center on Spider-Man and Spawn, his Incredible Hulk covers were truly epic.

Up and down - that's the best way to describe the New Mutants #98 market. Last year, virtually all the grades lost value, then Deadpool 2 helped push them back up. Now the 90-day averages are slumping, but we've got Once Upon a Deadpool...
We haven't heard any recent Spawn news, and in the movie business, out of sight is out of mind. With things relatively quiet on the western front, how are the values of Spawn #1 holding up? Spawn can be a polarizing topic in...
John Byrne may get the glory of being the classic X-Men artist, but Jim Lee redefined the team in the 1990s and established himself as one of the premiere artists in all of comics. Here's five of my favorite covers from Lee's X-Men run.
Back in 1982, when Chris Claremont commanded all things X-Men, Wolverine was being established as Marvel's premiere character. While he's still not as impressive as he was back then, that limited series from '82 is turning quite the profit this year. The more rumors circulate about the...
For a beginning collector, understanding the ins and outs for the grading companies can be daunting. The first step is knowing your labels and what the colors mean. When you look at graded comics, you've got a rainbow of colors to choose from. If you're new to...
