Don't Pay $150 For San Diego Comic-Con Marvel Midnight Universe Ashcan

Don't pay $150 on eBay for the San Diego Comic-Con Marvel Midnight Universe Ashcan, as comic book stores will be getting them for free

Attendees of the Marvel Midnight Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con left with a free black-and-white ashcan featuring previews of the three launch Midnight titles. And naturally, folk flipped them on eBay, where some have sold copies for up to $150 each, with many copies selling for $100, $90, $70 each. These are all confirmed sales on eBay.

Which is a shame for those who bought them, as comic book retailers all over the world will be receiving shedloads of these Marvel Midnight Universe Ashcans at comic book stores on the 19th of August, two weeks before they have to place their orders for the October 2026 launch. As confirmed by Marvel Comics' Midnight Universe presentation at the ComicsPRO retailer event at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.

So if you can get $100 for one now, fine. If you can get $10, I'd take it. Because very soon they are going to be free for all… here's some of the artwork we expect to be in that ashcan
