Why has Incredible Hulk #181 always been a key Bronze Age book, while Wolverine's (controversial) first appearance/first cameo, Incredible Hulk #180, has lagged behind? The cover of course! Let's take a look at first cover appearances and why they matter. Or...
I have been writing for GoCollect for a few months. I write about different topics to keep things interesting. Now I want to do something completely different. I want to know about you, the GoCollect Readers. This information is an important factor in determining what we will...
With ELEVEN Classic Comics issues vaulting up the weekly chart and entering the top 100, sneaky moves might not be what we can call the run Classic Comics is enjoying right now. Speculation from part one seems to be fulfilled after this week's chart sees each of...
Godzilla and the Teen Titans made waves in the Hottest Comics while someone in the land of collecting scoured eBay for DC’s Karate Kid. Let's look at some odd and trending comics from this week. It is that time again when...
It was a time of turmoil, a time of greed, a time of comic books, a time of need. It was the 1990s. Speculators were everywhere, including many in the comic book market. They had hoarded tons of New Mutants, Brigade, X-Factor, and X-men...
We all know about Shang-Chi's first appearance in Special Marvel Edition #15 (1973). Considering that Marvel will release a trailer for Shang-Chi & The Legend of the Ten Rings soon (many were expecting to see one during the Super Bowl), this...
It is possible that I was the only one disappointed in the recent run of Amazing Spider-Man #50 - 55 - a total of 11 books including all the '.LR' issues, but I doubt it. What the heck is happening here? Don't get me wrong, I love...
Cable and Punisher saw two of their key issues fall on hard times this week, but the 1,001st position revealed a hidden gem. Welcome to the coldest comics of the week. Not every comic can be a winner. On one end of the...
The American alternative rock band Wilco embarked on a tour during the spring of 2020 in support of their album “Ode to Joy”. The tour had 22 dates scheduled for that spring. However, on March 12th, 2020 they announced the remaining dates would be postponed. ...
I like to think of comic books as the bumper cars of collectibles. My theory is that comic books as investments are very connected and often "bump" one another up in price. What has the average year-to-date return trend been for comic books affected by the bumper...
It's not often that a movie that has completed all filming and editing and then is delayed four separate times, but that's what these pandemic times have presented us with Sony's Morbius. The Jared Leto-led project was originally slated for July 2020 but now...

Video games have exploded over the past couple years. It's easy to look at the Mario games and see all the ways different video games have increased in value... But what about the ones that have been decreasing in value? Let's look at 5 video games that...
Is there such a thing as a perfect comic book? Grading companies use a scale of 1 to 10 to describe the condition of a book when grading comics. Only a handful of graded comics have ever received a perfect 10. As a result, a 9.8...
I hope Patty Jenkins reads this article. Every comic book hobbyist owes her a debt of gratitude. This is not because of the success of Wonder Woman 1984. Instead, the reason is that Wonder Woman 1984 reminded comic book hobbyists that resting on one's laurels is not...
As collectors, we often try to get our hands on comics that are rare. In recent years, Marvel newsstand editions have often sold for quadruple the price of their direct counterparts even though many are extremely common. Early direct editions are more scarce, so why don't they...
Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album was one R&B album that helped define an era; impressive, considering who contributed to freestyle R&B. There's a lot on the line when you have Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on production. Definitely separating oneself from Michael Jackson is a huge barrier...
Looking at this month's release of the Golden Age Comic Chart, Classic Comics might be making a power move. With four comics in the top 200, three of which moved up more than 800 points, Classic Comics has muscled their way past the likes of Batman and...
It's old news...two months old. But one should chew on data and let it digest rather than gobbling it down and possibly choking. The data relates to two sales of original Spider-Man art. The artists stand as legends, though I would call one classic and the...
The comic book market is at an all-time high. This leaves a lot of collectors in the community wondering: How long will this last? Thinking Through It First of all, I don't have the answer because I can't read the future. These are just some...
