Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 1)

As I blathered about the other day, it’s nice to finally see some books heating up. Fomo is finally kicking in again.

I don’t think this issue will fair well in one of those “two years later” comparisons.

So people are buying it because the girl on the cover looks like the same girl in the preview for Ultimate X-Men…

But…what if ALL of the New Champions variants are actually characters in the new Ultimate Universe…?

Also…$24 ??? When copies sold days ago under $10…


thats just some dumbass FOMO

The reservation i have about the momoko cover is that its an ULTIMATE mutant character. I know that the multiverse has helped with spec, but i can only think of a small handful of ultimate universe characters that are good spec. This book sold out real quick, but i think fomo is amplified by a lack of good spec over the last few month’s.

The new Kang is the only new ultimate character I believe in right now

If anyone wants one graded 9.8. I’m not affiliated or have any connections to site other than its a dependable site that ive ordered from many times before.

Those were prior sales. I think the book I highlighted was the only one on eBay still for sale, that I could find (outside of the NYCC variant). So I think that has more to do with it…supply vs fomo demand.

I didn’t even know the momoko variant had already came out. I thought it was for FOC doh

i knew that cover had some spec value, noice noice

Thanks for the heads up on GR 17 Barendes variant. I just sold my copy for $59.99 on eBay. Didn’t even last two hours.

My love of Stegman cost me on this one. I have 3 copies of that Ghost Rider from my pulls but went with Stegman out of odd loyalty :joy:

He’s at a show I’ll attend next weekend…guess I’ll have him sign one.

I dunno, that Dirty D seems to know a thing or two about hot covers… :wink:

Seeing this book going for $50 right now is killing me…I could sell now on the high, then pick it up again on the low…but I could see this cover hanging around at $20-$25…so after seller fees, taxes and shipping…and the risk I might not get as good a copy back as I have now (9.8 candidate) I think I’m going to hang on to it. GR is a favorite character of mine as well…so this was always for the PC anyway.

Hulk 340 comparison…?

Punisher War Journal # 6 comparison…?

I think it just has that classic western showdown vibe. Maybe it doesn’t hold up, but it might be one of those books that fans grab and shove in a long box and don’t let it out…sort of like many spawn books. I can see that.

i see where he may have gotten inspiration from
