Track the latest comic book market shifts. See which key comic issues are dominating sales and why specific books are surging.

This update breaks down the current comic book market for serious collectors and investors. We review the top-selling title holding the number one spot for three consecutive weeks and analyze the numbers driving its consistent performance. You will get a clear look at how modern DC key issues are setting new records across multiple printings and why a specific creator-driven book is currently outpacing major superhero titles.

We also examine the sudden 800% jump in G.I. Joe comics linked to a classic location and discuss the market status of Amazing Spider-Man 299. If you are active in comic collecting, understanding these price trends is essential for making informed decisions on your next acquisition.

I also correct a media-adaptation mix-up from Inside the Long Box and explain why collectors and resellers should always verify the real catalyst before buying a book simply because it appears on a hot list.

Are these movements built on reader demand, lasting collector interest or short-term speculation? Let me know which market story had you checking your collection.

Quick correction from this week’s Inside the Long Box:

The 50 Cent-produced adaptation is connected to Bone Parish, not Savage Dragon. Savage Dragon #280 is moving because of the alternate interior page, collector curiosity and the distributor sellout—not television news.

That is a perfect example of why collectors and resellers should verify the real catalyst before buying something just because it appears on a hot list.

Which story sent you back to your collection this week?

Todd McFarlane’s Venom debate, the 800% G.I. Joe surge, or the continued Absolute Universe momentum?

Great show! I will start watching this from now on- I like longer YouTube videos concerning comies.

Just discovered your channel. Nice work keep the content coming.

Glad I purchased my Invincible #1 CGC 9.6 back in the day. Almost passed on it thinking it was too expensive at the time for $500 😂

Thank you for your time in making these videos. I really appreciate the thoughtful conversation along with the subject matter. Interesting times for sure with modern comics and just how well they are doing, and when you contrast those issues against much older comics, man they are really holding their own and outperforming older comics in a lot of ways and to be doing that in the amount of time they have is just incredible. This may be one of the greatest eras in comic book collecting ever. Its astonishing the increase in some of these books value and hey, im here for it. Lets keep this thing going. Great time to be a collector. The stories are great, the art is S tier, what more could you hope for as a comic book enthusiast?

I got into comic collecting during the covid boom -- I know, I know. Ouch. From day one I dismissed modern books for their bad art, derivitive characters, the 9.8-or-nothing headache, and to this day I don't have any... I think Absolute Batman is going to change that. I'm a cover guy and some of them are just delightful. Story sounds strong too. This variant business is wild to me though, and hard to keep abreast of. Cheers! 🦇

Great content! It’s Bane, not “Kane”. And you also said “Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles”. 😁

That Uncanny X-Men 268 is probably seeing a spike because the post credits scene at the end of X-Men 97 season 2 episode 4 paid homage to the cover.

I've always considered ASM #299 to be the first appearance of venom, and have been perplexed why so many considered it to be #300.

Also, love from London.

That green lantern 48 also has a DC Universe logo variant which sells for much more. 😊

Couldn’t get into Absolute Batman when I had just reread court of owls which seemed much better to me , maybe will try it again later

ASM #299 and incredible Hulk #180 fall into the same trap, the hulk book was originally listed in comics mags as 1st app. ASM 299 checks all the boxes as well, Marvel went and bullied their way into convincing the public that 300 was the true 1st app.(because it was a milestone edition at 300)... to eliminate the problem I usually pick up ASM 298,299, and 300 to sell as a set... same with hulk 180,181.182......just make them all newsstand... good luck!!!!

My ASM 299 is in for grading. Fingers crossed.

GI Joe #330 is leaping this week because of Lara Croft turns up on the last 2 pages, if you are in the UK, as of Thursday ForbiddenPlanet mail order still has copies at cover.. As for Savage Dragon, that's a crazy price. it's not the first time Erik has done porn. 228 is the one to get, with an honourable mention for 237. The problem with back issuing Dragon is recent print runs are well under 10,000 possibly under 5000. The people buying this book tend to want to keep their copies.
