Speculator's Corner: Joyride Rockets Up The Aftermarket

Almost a month ago, we highlighted Boom! Studios' new release Joyride in a Speculator's Corner. The first issue had sold out and gone to second print and the 4 issue limited series had just been extended to an ongoing series. At the time copies of issue #1 were selling for $9-$11 on eBay.

Since then the first print has jumped to between $19 and $21. Meanwhile, the second print, which I understand had a much smaller print run, is selling between $28 and $30. And the heat continues with issue #2, which only released last week, with copies selling for $24 and $25.

The series by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly and Marcus To, which follows the adventures of a trio of teenagers who steal a spaceship and explore the universe, seems to have taken flight with collectors.

Issue #3 is due in stores on June 15th. Will this back issue trend continue?
