Modern Comics Heating Up (2026 Edition) šŸ”„

Comics Comics Heating Up
#1965

Itā€™s been a quiet week for spec for me, but doesnā€™t mean there arenā€™t off the beaten path books that are heating up and to be on the lookout this weekend when you are at the LCBS.

Everyone knows that Daniel Warren Johnson has been heating up, not to the level of Mora, but a couple of items Iā€™ve seen recent sales on:

-Beta Ray Bill (2021) #1-#5 Cover A complete sets are moving in the $60-$70 range. Was able to get a full run today for $20.

-Saw a recent sale on the Demon Wars: Down in Flames #1 Cover E by DWJ sell for $30. None are listed on Ebay at the moment, so if you find one, you might be able to set your own price.

Good hunting everyone!

Man, some of these open order ASM 1000 covers are going up too.

I went out today and found the Ito venom, but only a few sporadic ASM 1000s. None were a cover that was flip worthy at the moment.

Some are still available at midtown.

Of people are FOMOā€™ing and buying multiple covers and copies of a $10 book that really isnā€™t worth the hype inside, maybe Comics ARE backā€¦

One guy on Ebay seems to be creating shill sales for some of the variants. You can tell his listings because the comic photo shows a hard plastic cover on the comics. His ebay username is tancomics

Apparently they have a decent stock. Put 10 in my cart and it let me go to checkout.

I appreciate the edit on the link. I know you guys have a collaboration with Third Eye (which is why I was looking there in the first place) but I wasnā€™t sure how to go about referencing it. If itā€™s something I can do myself in the future and save you the effort, I will. Is there a reference for how to do it here so the forum gets the affiliate credit?

For individual links, Anthony has to create those unfortunately for affiliation.

I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure there wasnā€™t something I could do to save the effort. Thanks again!

I appreciate you. Normally I just jump on and change them over. We donā€™t make a bunch with third eye yet. Few sales here and there but it does help pay to keep the sites going.

Only our Dictator & Overlord has the power.

#1978

If I click on one of the affiliate links, but buy a different comic, the site still gets the credit for sending me there, correct?

#1979

Normally thatā€™s how it works. Usually it retains the cookie for X amount of time. I know eBay will retain for up to 24 hours unless you go and click on someone elseā€™s affiliate link.

Ya know, if the site had a Patreon where even throwing 3 bucks your way helped, Iā€™d do it. Maybe the reward could be a special flair? I dunno.

#1981

I could look into it. But I feel like you have to have special content to do a Patreon.

#1982

I mean, just put your tamer OF stuff on it. Speaking of, when we getting more saucy pics of you as Batman?

#1983

We could make it so you donate to remove ads from the forums? Thatā€™s if people are interested in such a thingā€¦ Perhaps members of the patreon get ads removed from site?
