Wolverine '82

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...

Venom: The antidote to rising prices!

Darkhawk at Second Glance

Laugh all you want, but Darkhawk's first appearance is actually doing quite well. As a new member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, his first appearance has the chance to earn you a decent profit. These days, all it takes is the mention of a new character...

How the New GOTG Will Impact Your Keys

I'm seeing some impressive art for the new Guardians of the Galaxy lineup, and guess who's being featured front and center? Cosmic Ghost Rider. To make things even better, Beta Ray Bill could finally be getting his due in those pages as well. How will that affect...

Those (Batman) Damned Prices

Did you get your copy of Batman Damned #1? All the controversy over the first appearance of Batman's other sidekick (wink, wink) made it white hot in October, but the market is fickle, and those sky-high prices are falling fast.  Whether or not...
