Top 2023 Long term spec

Hey it’s my yearly ask to the community, need a bit of help to buy something for my toddlers long term collection from 2023

Spider boy is the runaway favourite. Anything else?

SWHR - any new characters people think have legs on the big screen?

Indies people love?

I love Batman- but not sure anything comes to mind…

What are your picks?

I think this year was pretty slim pickings but I’m a pretty big fan of Hallow’s Eve (ASM #14).

I love her design, character, powers. Eye catching imo.

Not saying she is the next Venom…but I believe she could have legs in the future. Clearly, she hasn’t just up and vanished as we’ve seen her since that run.

Funny thing…was at a recent convention and saw two different girls dressed up as her. I thought that was cool also.

skip 1st appearances, as 2023 sucked, and go for the high ratios (1:50, 1:100, 1:200 etc.) of books shops barely ordered

But they won’t be back next year.

I still have two unopened packs if anyone is interested…

I have one in the freezer.

Here are some movers/shakers in 2023. Even if they didn’t pan out at least they kind of are represent the year like a time capsule.

Not a ton. Spider-Boy… meh. Hallow’s Eve seems like the best bet of the year, but she may be too much of a one-trick pony.

A few others that did ok this year. Digging deep on a few of these:

My vote for best new series of 2023:

I didn’t realize the year had been so bad until looking at this post. It really was just an off year, guys.
