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

Hot comics are still heavy in demand. New comic movies mean new interest in comic characters that they are based on. The comic back-issue market is ever-changing. As the owner of Rodman Comics, I research back issues to try 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.

The comic back-issue market is, at times, chaotic. Today's hot comic may be a cold and forgotten one by tomorrow, or a comic that has been sitting in a dollar bin unwanted for a long time may suddenly become in demand. We once had Deadpool's first appearance in New Mutants #98 from 1991, when we first opened over a decade ago for less than thirty dollars, and it took a while to sell. Currently, odds are we could easily get over four hundred dollars for it. If and when Deadpool's third movie makes it to theaters, odds are the issue will increase in price. I have many stories of comics that we have sold over the years that have increased a lot over time. I also have plenty of stories of comics that sold for a nice amount collapsing price-wise over the years.

The prices listed on this list are for raw, ungraded comics in near-mint shape. I try to keep away from variant covers when writing these. There are so many variants offered by publishers it is like playing Russian roulette with prices. Prices may change quickly. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. One person's junk is another person's treasure. If I knew for sure which comics would go up in value, I would be a millionaire.
