Modern Comics Heating Up (2026 Edition)

Appear to be 12 left. The dip has begun. Weird thing is that it could rebound after the dip. I would imagine Marvel is desperate to find their next Jeff.

Marvel spec has been pretty dead.

I got the last and probably only copy at my LCS.

Safe to say, all DC KO tie-ins will heat up…

■■■■■■■ weird world we live in…

$47 for a new Flash book is ■■■■■■■ ridiculous

Grab them all before DC announces a 2nd printing :smiley:

My LCS has a stack of Bleeding Hearts cover A and the variants. I flipped through it but did not read it. I’ll wait and see before I try and flip this one.

Already has a 2nd printing…

From sales online, it looks like A and the Dragotta covers are the winners early on. Bachalo in third place. I only found one A (via my pull list). None on shelves. I also got the last Dragotta and the last connecting variant cover. But, that’s just two stores here. Sounds like some shops have a bunch yet.

I saw some $10 sales on the Dragotta’s.

I accidentally picked up a couple copies of Flash 27…I thought I saw 4 copies, and grabbed the two in the front…I was in a rush and not paying close attention…covers look similar enough…corner of the shop was poorly lit too.

So pissed at myself. Oh well.

I doubt they’ll still be there next time I go back…

I need to dig that Flash comic out of my shortbox now. I know I got it and read it!

One of my shops had only ordered a couple, “Bleeding Hearts,” and was out of them. Other locations had plenty, however. I just got one to be safe and check the story out.

As for, “D’Orc,” I don’t care why it got hot, as long as it made us money, lol! In all seriousness, this is total FOMO of people being afraid of missing out on the next hot thing. I can picture it now…

Dirty Dan: Hey, you know how that Absolute Batman is now like 200 bucks raw? I should get a D’Orc raw now even if its 80 bucks cuz it can only go up, right?

Stinky Jeff: Yeah, man, that totally makes sense. I’m gonna get one too. Then we can invest in other stuff we don’t fully understand but have FOMO about. What’s the hot new cyrptocurrency we can lose all our money on?

And scene.

D’orc coin. Coming soon. Be prepared to throw all your money into it.

Figured there was no way that the D’orc FOMO was still strong so I listed my copy for $70ish, sold in under an hour. Seems incredible its still moving along strong.

Why is that Flash 28 book hot? The others make some sort of sense. Why that one?

That and Aquaman. I’m lost. Nothing online I can find that explains.

Probably just not heavily ordered. No hate but who is reading Aquaman?

All of the cheap copies are gone, and a handful jumped up quickly over the past 4 weeks. The DCKO books are going to second print, but even on 1/11 one sold for $25. Mora cover? Is this just a really low print book? I do hear a lot of love for the DCKO run and related books. Even today in a shop, someone was raving about them. Maybe this will be the new series that people start chatting about and interest levels spike.

Beats me.

Listening to the word around the ol’ LCS people are collecting the VS battle covers for each of the rounds. From what I heard there are some very hard ones to find, I’m guessing Flash #28 has to be one of them.

Had a pretty good day hitting up the LCBS!

Was able to find the following:
Flash #28 Cover A (2 copies for cover price)-Thanks Anthony for the heads up!
Amazing Spider-Man #11 Benjamin Su variant (2 copies for cover price)
Exorcism at 1600 Penn (2 ashcans for $4 each)
Exorcism at 1600 Penn #1 1:10 Hans variant for $10
Absolute Wonder Woman #12 Cover A (2 copies for cover price)
Absolute Wonder Woman #15 Cover A (2 copies for cover price)
Absolute Wonder Woman #5 1:25 (2 copies for $10 each)
Mega Man :Bloodlines #1 1:5 Transformers movie homage (2 copies for $6 each)
Assorted Crisis Events #4 Cover A for cover price

For my PC, Re-Animator #1 (Adventure Comics) in NM for $15.

Hit up a total of 4 shops and no one had Aquaman #12, Absolute Wonder Woman #11 Cover A, or Absolute Wonder Woman #5 Cover A. I figured the ABS WW #5 1:25 might start trending up as Cover A’s get more expensive and dry up.

Good hunting everyone!

Given the popularity of the other “Round” books…maybe keep an eye on this one.
