Article Summary

  • Several Marvel books were still $3.99 in April, May, and June, but relaunches, finales, and ongoings have now jumped a dollar.

In the new Marvel Comics July 2026 solicits and solicitations, there is only one comic book still listed at $3.99 and that's Generation X-23 #6. All the other monthly titles are $4.99, apart from DNX #1, Marvel Swimsuit Special: Beach New Day, Spider-Man: Long Way Home #2, JLA/Avengers #3 Facsimile, Predator Vs Planet Of The Apes #1 which are all $5.99 each, and Silver Surfer #5 Facsimile and Rocket Raccoon Rewind which are both $6.99 each.

For May, as well as the $3.99 June titles, Psylocke Ninja #5 (of 5), Rogue #5 (of 5), Sai: Dimensional Rivals #5 (of 5), Doctor Strange #6,  was also $3.99, Spider-Gwen #10, Black Cat #10, Moon Knight #4, Spider-Gwen ended, Black Cat and Moon Knight are now $4.99 books.

In comparison, the majority of DC Comics line, thirty-one titles in July, are still $3.99 though there is always a choice of a $4.99 cardstock cover. Nineteen titles, including the Absolute titles and the main Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Superman titles. And for Image Comics, fifty-one titles are $3.99 and eight are $4.99, and those are over-sized titles.

Inflation is a real thing in the current economy; prices are up all over as a result of tariffs, and the instability of oil prices and shipping is affecting everything. Marvel Comics may have gone first, but expect a number of publishers to jump up to the five-dollar mark for a standard comic book any day now. Free Comic Book Day couldn't have come along at a better time…
