Comic Store In Your Future: 25 Hot Comics by Rodman Comics

Published Mon, 07 Mar 2022 15:32:09 -0600

Hot comics are still in heavy demand. The comic back-issue market is ever-changing. What is hot today may be cold tomorrow or cold today and hot tomorrow. As the owner of Rodman Comics, I research back issues to keep up with what is in demand. This column is me sharing what I have learned. This is my perspective, while others may differ. One person's junk is another's treasure.

Currently, first appearances are super popular. A brand-new character in a just-released comic often causes a quick sell-out on the title. Peacemaker's TV series was remarkably popular, even more than the Book of Boba Fett series. Years ago, Peacemaker getting his own show I never would have thought possible, Peacemaker beating a Boba Fett show? Crazy talk. Now it is not so crazy. Comic characters appearing in other media outside of comics often boost values on back issues and sales. Recently, it was announced a live-action Wonder Twins is now in development for HBO Max. Another announcement I would never have thought was an actual possibility before. After that announcement, the old comic Xero was announced as being developed into a movie by 50 Cents.
