Kamehameha! An old favorite returned to glory this week while Dragon Ball Z made waves on eBay.
What's picking up momentum this week? You've come to the right place. Here at the Trending Comics, we take a deeper dive into the eBay sales charts to spotlight five issues that are moving up the rankings. With that in mind, let's take a look at these contenders.
1 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #300 (+7)
Movie news always stirs the market...even if it is a Sony production. The studio made headlines after announcing the third Venom film will be titled The Last Dance. The fact that it has propelled ASM #300 into the top spot is a testament to Venom's enduring popularity. After three consecutive blunders with Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, and Madame Web, the bar has been set quite low for The Last Dance.
35 DRAGON BALL Z #1 (NEW TO THE LIST)
The anime fandom has been mourning the loss of Akira Toriyama, who passed away on March 1. If you don't know his name, you certainly have heard of his most famous creation: Dragon Ball. The immensely popular, long-running show has been in the headlines following Toriyama's death, and headlines usually cause sales spikes, as we are seeing here. Not only has Dragon Ball #1 cracked the top 50, but it brought Dragon Ball Z #1 along for the ride as well.
53 DAREDEVIL #168 (NEW TO THE LIST)
The MCU faithful have turned their sights toward Daredevil's upcoming show, Born Again. Initially, only Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Ornofio, and Jon Bernthal were slated to reprise their roles from Netflix's Daredevil. In recent weeks, Marvel Studios has changed its direction regarding the show, announcing that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson have been added to the cast. While Elodie Yung has not been confirmed for Born Again, fans are optimistic she will appear as Elektra, hence the sales increase for the character's first appearance in DD #168.
82 IRON MAN #282 (NEW TO THE LIST)
It was a good day to be a War Machine. James "Rhodey" Rhodes' had sported the Iron Man armor previously, but he came into his own when Tony Stark gave him the War Machine suit. Here we have the first cover appearance of Rhodes in the classic armor, and he would officially take up the name War Machine later. With a starring role in Armor Wars on the slate, this issue will get much hotter in the future.
92 SILVER SURFER #3 (NEW TO THE LIST)
There's just no getting away from Mephisto. Ever since WandaVision used Marvel's devil as its red herring, he's been the running joke of the MCU. The last time we had any major news about the character, there were reports that comedian Sacha Baron Cohen will play Mephisto in Ironheart. Whether that is true remains to be seen, but seeing Silver Surfer #3 gaining traction shows that collectors are banking on him arriving at some point.
