We are all Watchers, and we all want to stay ahead of the speculation curve to make our collection the best it can possibly be. But having a slight edge on the competition when collecting comics is difficult even when you try to use the data...
Three comics are vying for the title of the first appearance of the Goddess of Thunder: What If...? #10, Thor: God of Thunder #25, and Thor #1. Collectors are jumping on one issue in particular, triggering a volcanic eruption only days removed from Marvel's SDCC announcement. Everyone...
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Superman’s spaceship would have crash landed somewhere else other than Kansas? In a different country instead of USA and with different parents, how would Kal-El have turned out? Would he still become the Superman we all know?...
With Marvel’s announcement that the next Doctor Strange movie (colorfully titled: ‘Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness’) will take a turn towards the horror genre, and with Blade now officially part of the MCU, this raises the possibility that the Midnight Sons might be on...
After their work with Marvel Studios, the Russo brothers have proven that they can craft some fine super-hero movies. While speaking at the San Diego Comic Con the other day (see here), the brothers announced that they would now be developing a new property for...
Marvel Studios set the comic community ablaze with its plethora of upcoming projects announced at San Diego Comic-Con. That leaves one question: which comics should you be scouting for? Below you'll find all the projects Kevin Feige and company announced at SDCC along with the key issues that will be most impacted by the latest...
Kevin Fiege’s presentation at the San Diego Comic Con yesterday didn’t disappoint. Fiege focused on the details regarding upcoming features for the MCU. As usual, there were a few surprises but also a lot of confirmation of what many die-hard fans had already guessed was going...
Remember when I told you to start collecting the first appearance of Lady Thor? Now 2014's Thor #1 is about to jump in value courtesy of today's San Diego Comic-Con panel. Two months ago, I predicted that with the many hints and...
It’s a pity Bill Foster’s role in the Marvel movies didn’t see him in action in the Black Goliath costume. Further disappointing is his absence during Captain America: Civil War, as his death by the hands of a Thor-cyborg proved pivotal in the comics’ Civil War...
There's so much talk of X-Men in the MCU and casting choices that it's bound to impact the market for all things mutant, especially the holy Wolverine trinity of Hulk #180-182. (Spoiler alert: they're getting more expensive.) The X-Men are swarming the mainstream media. There's the endless...
Movies drive comic book prices and even the second series of a character can be both positively or negatively impacted by a movie release. Everyone knows this, right? Perhaps, but I am a firm believer in letting the numbers speak for themselves. If movies impact comic books;...
Did you get your copy of Captain Marvel #8? Prices are rocketing upwards only a day after Star's debut, but don't fret if you couldn't get one. There's a good chance this balloon will pop in a few months if current trends hold true. I've written before...
Alan Moore is a magician. This claim is at once a metaphor and literally true. The English author and comic book writer trained years ago to become a practicing ceremonial magician. But it’s through his words and ideas that he creates his true magic. Since Moore...
“Lucille is thirsty. She is a vampire bat!” When Lucile collided with Glenn, we witnessed a model display of Newton's third law of motion. The action of Negan swinging the bat produced an equal and opposite reaction in Glenn’s head. Here we will examine...
The Silver Age lineup has been dominated by the Fantastic Four. Last month the top three comics for the Silver Age were all FF. The first appearance of the Silver Surfer and Galactus, the first cover appearance of the Surfer, and the first appearance of the Black...
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Surfer has been a fan favorite since his first appearance in the pages of the Fantastic Four in 1966. At some point we know that Marvel's sky-rider of the space-ways will join the MCU; when that happens his...
One of the best Saturday morning cartoons of the 90s was hands down Batman Beyond; the intro sequence alone screams nostalgia. Created by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett, the story centered on the teenage Terry McGinnis who takes up the cowl of Batman under...
Marvel has just confirmed that Taika Waititi and Chris Helmsworth (among others) will return for 'Thor 4'. The news comes from a source at the Hollywood Reporter (see here), and will most likely be publicly announced at the quickly approaching San Diego Comic Con. What does...
Although war comics haven’t completely disappeared, they have certainly declined in popularity in the modern age. In this post I want to look at one of the more interesting war series from the Silver Age: Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert’s Enemy Ace. Throughout the later...
You check the mail, check the news, check on the pizza delivery status, but how often do you check on your investments? Comic book investments, that is. In a previous article, we examined the market performance of key comic books for some of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s...
