Marvel Comics States That You Pay $4.99 For Top Talent

Dan Buckley, President Of Marvel Entertainment stated that Marvel Comics would be emphasizing the $3.99 comic price point, over $4.99, for most issues.

When reporting on the ComicsPro Summit in Pittsburgh earlier in the year, we heard that Dan Buckley, President Of Marvel Entertainment stated that Marvel Comics would be emphasizing the $3.99 comic price point for most issues, going forward. Which represents quite a change. Though, of course, it's still not quite Todd McFarlane's Spawn titles, all still at $2.99.

ICV2 has now posted his script for the event, in which he told comic book retailers "We know that pricing is an area we need to adjust to fit your needs. We want to make it consistent for you and for your customers.  The bulk of the line will be $3.99, with new #1's and 8 to 10 core titles with top talent and top characters being priced at $4.99.  There will be exceptions for event books, one-shots, and anniversary books, but you will also see a more consistent pricing approach to those offerings, too."

Which of course, looking at new solicitations means that, rather cruelly but Buckley's, you can work out maybe who Marvel counts as top talent. And who does not. Here's a list of the prices and page counts from the July 2024 Marvel solicitations. The titles that have a premium price for their page count, aside from event books and one-shots, are the Ultimate books, the Star Wars books, Vengeance Of The Moon Knight, Daredevil, Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Boy, Immortal Thor and Captain America. In total, however, the bulk of the like is not $3.99, but 37 titles are. 38 titles are $4.99. Five are $5.99, three are $6.99 and one is $7.99…
