Les 10 comics avec un coup de boost :

	#10: X-MEN #221 | MARVEL | 1987 : The fanbase was ready to receive X-Men '97 in its rumored release window of January 2024. Right before Christmas, Marvel appears to have pushed the release back to March to coincide with an X-Men '97 comic release. Still, excitement is palpable for the series and its villain, Mr. Sinister. Fans have been picking up his first appearance in this book for months now and will seemingly continue until the release date. We tracked it at a high sale of $312 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a raw VF FMV of $43. #9: GODZILLA #1 – REGULAR | MARVEL | 1977: Godzilla Minus One got another shot in the arm when Toho announced that the film would return to theatres for a new theatrical run in black and white. It fits the aesthetic and will bring in a whole new group of fans who want to see the film in that style. Combine that with the hype building for the new Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire film and the aftermarket sales for this book for the past few months explain itself. It's been doing well, as it introduced Godzilla to American audiences, and the rest is history. We tracked it at a high sale of $525 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw VF FMV of $69. #8: THE OMEGA MEN #3 | DC | 1983: Aquaman 2 is here and doing well enough in theatres. Fans are eager to see Jason Mamoa play Aquaman for the last time. He's been the character for years. But, some are more excited about what is potentially coming down the pipeline. The rumor is that Mamoa will play a different character in James Gunn's all-new DCU as Lobo. Mamoa as Lobo is dang near synonymous at this point. Naturally, fans are still on the lookout for Lobo's first appearance in this book. We tracked it at a high sale of $380 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $67. #7: BATMAN #609 | DC | 2002: Renewed speculation Hush will be the main villain in Batman 2 has surged again, causing aftermarket sales to rise. It all started with the tie-in website for the Batman movie rataalada.com when HUSH! was briefly flashed across the screen when a fan solved a puzzle. Jeff Sneider was on a podcast called The Hot Mic, giving cryptic answers when quizzed about the subject. Recently, an insider has reported that Hush is the main villain for the sequel. Despite all this book's attention, concrete evidence that Hush will appear has yet to manifest. Matt Reeves is notoriously tight-lipped about his films. That hasn't stopped the aftermarket from booming, however. We tracked it at a high sale of $200 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $47. #6: SUPERMAN #9 – NATHAN SZERDY (1:25) | DC | 2023: Rarely does Silver Banshee receive the fanbase's attention, but she's all the rage this week. Nathan Szerdy pulled out all the stops for this 1:25 variant, and the community continued taking notice. This book introduces a whole new subset of collectors to the character for the first time! We tracked it at a high sale of $74 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $67. #5: PREDATOR VS WOLVERINE #4 – JOSHUA CASSARA (1:25) | MARVEL | 2023: This series has been doing surprisingly well, with more collectors hopping on board every month. It does even better when they get hit with a variant like this. Joshua Cassara hit fans right in the feels with this 1:25 variant featuring the Predator facing off with a wall of severed Wolverine heads from different eras. It's striking and brings up the question of Wolverine being unseated as the man who is the best there is at what they do, I.E., death. We tracked it at a high sale of $40 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $38. #4: GREEN ARROW #7 – JAY ANACLETO (1:25) | DC | 2023: This list typically has at least one cover featuring a fan-favorite heroine, but this week it has two! Black Canary has been grabbing more of a share of the spotlight recently, and this 1:25 variant from Jay Anacleto capitalizes on that. Fans usually notice if a creator spotlights a beauty like Black Canary or Catwoman. We tracked it at a high sale of $55 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $43. #3: BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES #1 – PATRICK HORVATH – 2ND PRINT | IDW | 2023: Issue #1 had quite the meteoric rise, with numerous retailers left in the dust as they opted not to secure copies. Word might not have reached some when the ordering window opened for this book, leading to a scarcer market. It's lagged behind the first print, but it's slowly catching up and seeing more copies trade hands. Some fans still hope to secure a first print, but this is a solid consolation prize. We tracked it at a high sale of $20 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $40. #2: BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES #1 – RILEY ROSSMO – COVER B – STORYBOOK | IDW | OCT 18, 2023: Once collectors ran out of copies of Cover A to secure at a price they could stomach, they started taking a closer look at this harder to find and MUCH more affordable B-cover, which was trending slower than the standard cover, typically selling for $15/$20. With cover A and the Foil on fire, cover B is finally gaining traction with nice price jumps. We tracked it at a high sale of $140 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $44. #1: BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES #1 – PATRICK HORVATH – COVER A | IDW | 2023: Things typically come full circle in the comic world. This series epitomizes that saying, as anthropomorphic characters used to be all the rage. This book may be bringing that trope back with an engaging story and art that has fans talking. Word of mouth and positive reviews have fueled its growing popularity instead of rumors of being optioned hanging over it. The community is all in on this book, solely for what it is. We tracked it at a high sale of $200 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $77.

	#10: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE B | MARVEL | 2024: What better way to revisit the storied history of Spider-Man than with a slew of variants featuring some of his most beloved suits and moments in time? This variant featured the Ben Reilly Spider-Man costume when he became the Sensational Spider-Man. He took over the mantle of responsibility after Spider-Man opted to leave town and start fresh. It quickly became a fan favorite, and this variant is a stunning homage to a time long past. We tracked it at a high sale of $30 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $25. #9: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE C | MARVEL | 2024: We have another homage! Of course, Spider-Man 2099 had to receive a share of the spotlight. He might be one of the most recognizable variations thanks to his recent success in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. With the debut of this book, there's a variant for everyone. Fans had trouble deciding which one to acquire, but this book saw enough action to make it on our list! We tracked it at a high sale of $30 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $19. #8: DAREDEVIL #9 | MARVEL | 1999: Time to break it up! Echo has made her debut in her entirety, and currently, the fanbase is digging it. Since not everyone has had a chance to check out the five-episode mini-series, there will be no spoilers here. But, so far, the response has been positive, which has led to a positive response in the aftermarket, with this book gaining a spot over last week! We tracked it at a high sale of $250 for a CGC 9.8 copy, with the current fair market value for a raw NM copy at $96. #7: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – TONY S. DANIEL (1:25) | MARVEL | 2024: This variant is the highest ratio on this list (1:25) and may be the hardest cover! Spider-Man is ENRAGED and looks like someone not to be messed with, and the aftermarket takes notice. While most covers for this book are hot right now, this sold more than any other outside of #2 on this list. It'll be tough to find, but keep your eyes peeled! We tracked it at a high sale of $31 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $27. #6: KID VENOM: ORIGINS #1 – LUCIANO VECCHIO – SURPRISE (1 PER STORE) | MARVEL | 2024: This book has been hot for two weeks in a row, although it's cooled slightly thanks to the Ultimate Spider-Man fervor. No one expected this surprise one-per-store variant, causing fans to scramble to acquire a copy. It's a brilliant cover, with the details of the origin of Marvel's newest addition within. Those who could snag a copy were happy to pay the price to add it to the PC! We tracked it at a high sale of $50 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $34. #5: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – J. SCOTT CAMPBELL | MARVEL | 2024: Of course, Marvel had to bring back J. Scott Campbell to bring us a fantastic cover featuring a happy Peter and MJ. They've been on the rocks for some time, and this cover hits fans right in the feels. They responded in kind, as the theme for this rebooted Ultimate Universe fits the cover like a glove! We tracked it at a high sale of $23 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $17. #4: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – DESIGN (1:10) | MARVEL | 2024: While nearly all variants for this book have been hot, this one is quickly approaching the top of the list. This issue introduces Richard and May Parker, the children of Peter B. Parker and MJ. The cover features Checchetto's rough designs for the character, with the final iterations popping up on the #2 spot on this list. This new run is what fans have been asking for, and Marvel pulled out all the stops! We tracked it at a high sale of $18 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $13. #3: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE A | MARVEL | 2024: Of course, the variant featuring the Black Suit would receive much love. It's one of Spider-Man's fan-favorite iterations with a rich history behind it. That history was revamped when Ultimate Comics launched, and it may get one again. It's no surprise it's commanding some of the highest value out of all iterations of this book. We tracked it at a high sale of $60 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $52. #2: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – RYAN STEGMAN | MARVEL | 2024: This is it. The highest mover of all the variants at a whopping 132 copies sold on the aftermarket! That crushes the runner-up #1 on this list by 50 copies. Why? It bears the distinction of featuring the debut of Richard and May Parker and their first cover in their final forms. It's about time we see a happy Spider-Man, with plenty of time for despair down the road. The fans want more, and the aftermarket sales were indications of the sentiment. We tracked it at a high sale of $26 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $23. #1: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – REGULAR | MARVEL | 2024: Rarely do we see Cover A win the day, but we saw that with this book. When it dropped, there was a massive run on the variant covers, as that's often where the value is immediately after release. This book bucks that trend, with sales topping out at $70 for a raw copy! Why that is is a mystery, outside of the obvious; it was what was left behind. That makes this book the winner of the week! We tracked it at a high sale of $70 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $58.

	#10: DARKER IMAGE #1 | IMAGE | 1993: A rumor has been floating around that Channing Tatum was in talks to star in the upcoming The Maxx movie. The Maxx movie had been in development limbo for several years before receiving an update from Daniel Richtman that the movie was moving forward. Now, Channing Tatum himself took to Instagram to share that he is officially on board to play the lead role in The Maxx. This book is easy to find and an inexpensive purchase, making it easy to pick up speed in the aftermarket after Tatum's announcement. It is important to note that this isn't The Maxx's first appearance. He previously appeared in his own title, THE MAXX #1. However, his first appearance as Max the Hare is in Primer #5. We tracked it at a high sale of $100 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $3. #9: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – TONY S. DANIEL (1:25) | MARVEL | 2024: Tony Daniel portrays Spider-Man in a visual that would strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. He is beaten and bruised, but the determination in his pose shows you why he's the hero that never backs down. This cover is the only retailer incentive on the top ten this week. It is likely due to the price being lower than the Cover A of this book. We tracked it at a high sale of $40 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $28. #8: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE C | MARVEL | 2024: Spider-Man 2099 is at the height of popularity after the debut of Across the Spider-Verse. This homage cover puts Miguel O'Hara in the spotlight, illustrating a fantastic cover with a popular spider-variant taking center stage. We tracked it at a high sale of $40 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $24. #7: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MATEUS MANHANINI – ULTIMATE SPECIAL | MARVEL | 2024: Another fantastic cover in this series is by Mateus Manhanini. This ultimate special depicts a black-suit Spider-Man, but not the one we've come to know. Only time will tell how important this cover is to the new Peter Parker introduced in this issue. We tracked it at a high sale of $35 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $12. #6: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – DAVID MARQUEZ | MARVEL | 2024: If you enjoyed the 1:100 virgin cover, this affordable alternative is great. Meanwhile, the virgin cover fetches prices between $90 and $100. This trade cover is more affordable if you're a collector of this artist. We tracked it at a high sale of $33 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $24. #5: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – J. SCOTT CAMPBELL | MARVEL | 2024: J. Scott Campbell returns to Spider-Man with an awesome cover, celebrating the iconic couple. This cover also has a virgin cover, which is the 1:500 retailer variant. The virgin cover has been selling for around $400. Not all Campbell fans can drop $400 on a modern comic. Fans of the artwork can instead pick up a copy of the trade for a raw NM FMV of $24. We tracked it at a high sale of $48 for a raw copy. #4: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – RYAN STEGMAN | MARVEL | 2024: This book had the highest number of sales last week. This week, it drops to spot number 4. However, this book is still a heartwarming cover from Ryan Stegman. After watching our favorite webslinger go through so many hardships, this cover is a touching portrait of a future in which Peter Parker has his wholesome family by his side. We tracked it at a high sale of $34 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $31. #3: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE A | MARVEL | 2024: Like the Spider-Man 2099 cover in spot #8, this cover is about the costume's popularity. Black-suit Spider-Man has been one of the most popular variants since before there was even a spider-verse. The symbiotic costume later goes on to create the iconic villain, Venom. It's no wonder that this cover remains one of the top sellers. We tracked it at a high sale of $103 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $61. #2: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – REGULAR | MARVEL | 2024: Of all the covers that were released for ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1, Cover A has been the top seller. While other books may demand a higher aftermarket value, this book is still a contender for a return on investment. After selling for $6, this book shot up to nearly 10x its initial value, with an FMV of $56 for a raw NM copy. Despite this rapid value increase, it remains the top-selling variant, with a massive 232 copies sold! We tracked it at a high sale of $159 for a CGC 9.8. #1: ULTIMATE INVASION #1 2ND PRINT R.B. SILVA | MARVEL | 2023: R.B. Silva was the artist who gave us the 2nd print of this key issue and the first cover appearance of Ultimate Spider-Man and Peter Parker. R.B. Silva is also slated to illustrate the cover for the 2nd printing of the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1. The series has been overwhelmingly popular, and it is safe to say that this issue may play some significance in the future of this new Spider-Man series. We tracked it at a high sale of $117 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $28.

	#10: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE C | MARVEL | 2024: Spider-Man 2099 is the most recent iteration of Spider-Man to receive the adoration of fans. That is until we got this new Ultimate Spider-Man. Still, this cover featuring the futuristic fan favorite has seen many aftermarket sales, and collectors aim to acquire these variants for issue #1. It's no surprise seeing Spider-Man 2099 garnering a lot of attention, as the fanbase was primed for it thanks to Across the Spider-Verse. We tracked it at a high sale of $45 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $31. #9: AVENGERS: TWILIGHT #1 – ALEX ROSS – REGULAR | MARVEL | 2024: That's right, this book marks the debut of James Stark, the son of Tony Stark. He's quite different than his father, and not in the best way. He still dabbles in his father's patented antagonism, but this time, it is directly aimed at good ole Captain America. Alex Ross dominates the cover (per usual), which immediately got fans interested. Add in the first appearance of what could be a major character, and the aftermarket was moving at a solid clip. We tracked it at a high sale of $25 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $23. #8: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – RYAN STEGMAN | MARVEL | 2024: This book has moved all over this list for good reason. The fanbase desperately wanted something, ANYTHING positive for Spider-Man and MJ. Ryan Stegmen understood the assignment, delivering a heartwarming cover that also sports the first cover appearances of Richard and May Parker. We tracked it at a high sale of $40 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $20. #7: THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #9 – REGULAR | MARVEL | 1977: The hype train for Daredevil: Born Again is steadily rising. The most recent influx of hype was thanks to leaked set photos of the series, reportedly showing off White Tiger. White Tiger was the first Marvel character of Hispanic descent and also first appeared in this book. With the rumors swirling for the series already, an influx of aftermarket sales was bound to follow. We tracked it at a high sale of $109 for a CGC 9.4 copy and a current raw FN FMV of $27. #6: MARVEL PREVIEWS #26 – REGULAR | MARVEL | 2023: A 'first appearance' debate is quietly brewing about this book. It's a solicitation catalog featuring the new Ultimate Spider-Man on the cover. That's it. Some are now offering this book up as the true first appearance of the character, over issue #1 or Ultimate Invasion #1 2nd print. We still have a ways to go before the dust settles, but some fans aim to acquire a copy regardless. We tracked it at a high sale of $31 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $17. #5: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – J. SCOTT CAMPBELL | MARVEL | 2024: J. Scott Campbell delivered some iconic Spider-Man covers when Renew Your Vows dropped. They've routinely been some of the highest-selling variants for that book. Well, Campbell has struck gold again, delivering another happy cover for the often-maligned couple. This version, as opposed to the virgin cover, is seeing more action as it's much more attainable (and affordable). We tracked it at a high sale of $80 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a raw NM FMV of $20. #4: X-FORCE #48 – JOHN CASSADAY | MARVEL | 2024: John Cassaday sure knows how to get the community talking. Fans criticized this cover due to its artwork. Most believe it was purely a spoof of the recently fan-criticized Frank Miller Wolverine cover. Others are not so convinced. Regardless, we're staying out of this one and are purely reporting on the sales it experienced last week! We tracked it at a high sale of $25 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $16. #3: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – COSTUME TEASE A | MARVEL | 2024: While Spider-Man 2099 has experienced an unprecedented run of success, Black Suit Spidey is still king. This book is experiencing stronger sales and higher value, mostly because it features the iconic Black Suit on the cover. You know, the one that would later go on to become Venom! We tracked it at a high sale of $119 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of $73. #2: ULTIMATE INVASION #1 2ND PRINT R.B. SILVA | MARVEL | 2023: This book is part of the three-headed beast currently brewing within the first-appearance community. Chronologically, it came first, featuring the first cover appearance of the new Ultimate Spider-Man and Peter Parker. But, it heavily flew under the radar upon release due to the underwhelming response Ultimate Invasion received. It's been a retroactive rush on this book, as no one predicted the bonanza that Ultimate Spider-Man #1 brought about upon release. It will likely be on this list until fans settle the debate, but it's slowly losing steam. We tracked it at a high sale of $45 for a raw copy and a current NM FMV of $36. #1: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 – MARCO CHECCHETTO – REGULAR | MARVEL | 2024: It is stunning to see the sales this book is achieving. Typically, Cover A is all but forgotten when there is a deluge of variants garnering the fanbase's attention. That is different with this book, as it has consistently outsold other variants, typically for a higher cost as well. A few are still outshining it in terms of cost, but overall, Cover A reigns supreme! Are we witnessing a flip of consumer sentiment in real-time? Are we at an inflection point for the aftermarket, all brought about by this book? It's hard to say, but it's a fascinating time to be involved in the hobby! We tracked it at a high sale of $70 for a raw copy and a current NM FMV of $67.
