Kamala Khan’s first comic series fell on hard times this week as Ms. Marvel #1 dropped by over 800 positions in a week and Edge of Spider-Verse #5 held the dubious distinction of being ranked #1001 in...
When it comes to rock poster celebrities, Chuck Sperry is an icon. Sperry has an impressive resume spanning multiple mediums and art forms. From producing America's first underground comic, to creating screen prints for countless major acts like Eric Clapton, Madonna, and The Beatles....
Today we are going to take a look at the first appearances of SGT Rock, Mlle. Marie and the Haunted Tank. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s dig right into these big DC War keys. Our Army at...
Recently, many Silver Age keys such as Daredevil #1, Silver Surfer #4, and
It's hard sneaking up on a Rattle Snake (unless you're Kid Colt!) It's even harder to "sneaky move" up the Golden Age Charts for months and not have anyone blog about it (at least none I'm aware of)! Sneaky Moves Blog #7 addresses the "western trend" of...
What were collectors buying this week? Domino and Ironheart were high on many lists, but Rom: Space Knight and the Ninja Turtles’ Leonardo held their own. Welcome to the Hottest Comics for the week of March 17. Before we jump into the data,...
As a spec, collectibles with cross interest generally pique the interest. Bigger audience, bigger market. The obvious popular trend is comics/movies, but before that, there were comics/video games. In the 90s, Valiant Comics published a series of comics based on Nintendo’s properties. Interestingly, these...
Someone scribbled their name on the cover of the silver age book you just bought? It could be worth more than you think if it's a Pedigree book! I admittedly knew little about these books before doing the research prior to this article. I was interested...
When it comes to video games, Leprechauns can be as hard to find as they are in real life. I have a feeling we won't be finding any pots of gold, but that is the joy of the chase. With some careful searching, here are five great...
Faith and begorrah lads and lassies! With it being St. Patrick’s Day, you have to figure that the day just wouldn’t be right if we didn’t take the time to talk about that irascible X-Man from the fair land of Ireland. The biggest screamer in the Marvel...
Today is a good day to spotlight my favorite Irish-American character, Hitman Tommy Monaghan. Not only is Tommy of Irish heritage, but more importantly, he was created by two true-blooded Irishmen, Garth Ennis and John McCrea. Let's take a look at this fan-favorite series and see if...
When it comes to the March holiday St. Patrick's Day, many traditions come to mind. Depending on where you live, these traditions differ slightly but share a central theme. In Boston, for me at least, the Celtic punk band The Dropkick Murphys and St. Patrick’s day have...
I like themes. I hate rules. Imagine then me saying I would do a green-themed blog for St. Patrick's Day. Challenge accepted. Here is my list of four books that deal with green that I believe could earn you some green. Think of these as my secret...
When it comes to St. Paddy's Day, I'm conflicted. Sure my name is Patrick Timothy, I have Irish ancestry, and my small hometown had two parades: Christmas and St. Patrick's Day. And just to throw more green beer on the fire, my college gave students two days...
The Bronze Age has been surging over the last two years. Horror comics, superhero comics, and even fantasy comics have all blown up. However, investors, collectors, and speculators get flooded by everything else in the marketplace. Often they overlook or forget these once-hot comic books. This might...
Cobra Kai’s YouTube/Netflix series has rekindled the love for the 1980s Karate Kid franchise. However, Daniel LaRusso was not the first Karate Kid; that distinction belongs to an obscure DC character from the Silver Age. WHO IS THE KARATE KID?
The Modern Age seems to stretch on forever, even if you remove the Copper Age from the equation. This amorphous age seems to continue to grow. This is the one age I don't entirely trust as a collector or an investor. I do believe as a...
It's not exactly a New Year's resolution, more like a New Year's activity. I resolved to exercise on the elliptical every day while watching every episode of Star Trek in order. You understand the regimen. Personally, I'm not tabulating, but supposedly Gene Roddenberry and company produced 797...
From albums to comics, covers help make sales. We saw this recently with the Amazing Spider-Man #55 with the Gleason cover. Most comic book lovers can pick out covers easily in the Silver and Bronze age, but what about the sweet Golden Age? Take a trip with...
Welcome to the Blogger Dome! Here, bloggers will argue different topics involving the comic book market and industry. This will be a combination of the Big Bang Theory meets the WWE. Smack talk mixed with comic book debates. This week's battle is the investment prospects of original...
