Category: Key Issues
In order to get our collective hands around the comic book speculation and investment world, we have had to define and categorize the different comic book ages. The Modern Age is the largest of the comic book ages. It stretches from the debut of Image Comics in...
The unthinkable has happened: Spider-Ham's key issues have become major investments thanks to Into the Spider-Verse, and the current fair market values for his first appearance are rapidly climbing. Dust off your 1980s nostalgic comics and cross your fingers that you have the Spider-Ham keys. He is stealing the spotlight in the Into the Spider-Verse...
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...
'Tis the silly season and things can get insane with crazy shoppers, getting gifts, incoming relatives, traffic jams, and mega stress. But you wouldn't know it in the comic book speculation market. Everyone is the same, people are buying anything related to Venom and early symbiont appearances...

This is one of my favorite covers by Leinil Yu. It depicts the overwhelming opposition of The Hand with Elektra in the vanguard for the kill. All descending on a relatively new hero that is probably going to appear in Avengers 4. Certain media bloggers are guessing...
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...
The first appearance of Alfred Pennyworth in Batman #16 is a huge key. Many fantastic actors have played "Alfred" the butler in Batman movies. I believe my personal favorite is Michael Kane in the Dark Knight. Whether you like Sean Pertwee (Gotham), Jeremy Irons (Justice League), Alan...
I cannot say enough about how wrong it was for Netflix to cancel Daredevil. Three seasons of eloquence and thoughtful writing on a character who has had very little air time since conception in the 1960s. Now finally, in my late forties, I get to see the...
