What does the 12th Feb hold for the trending comics, who knows for sure but here we go?
Its Megacon so this week is going to be dominated by the Convention Variants.
MARK SPEARS MONSTERS #2 - 2025 MEGACON
2926 Value Prediction - Profit
Mark Spears Monsters will be big and is defiantly feature as one of the most collectible comics, unfortunately they are limited, so unless you are prepared to spend big you are not getting one of these.
ABSOLUTE BATMAN BEN OLIVER OLIVER - 2025 MEGACON 2ND PRINT (LIMITED 800).
2926 Value Prediction - Profit
Batman has dominated the top ten recently, and I suspect the limited run of 800 copies is going to make a big impact this week. The combination of Absolute Batman's popularity and the scarcity of this issues could drive strong interest.
Additionally, there are a few other Batman variants limited to 1,000 copies, which also have the potential to be big winners in the aftermarket. With limited availability and high demand, these variants are definitely ones to watch for serious collectors and investors.
2926 Value Prediction - Break Even
Suydam and Dynamite have delivered some of the aftermarket’s most popular and visually striking Red Sonja and Vampirella covers, consistently attracting collectors and fans alike. This particular 1:30 virgin incentive cover is no exception. The stunning design, combined with its limited ratio, makes it a strong contender for increased demand in the aftermarket. While it’s too early to predict its full potential, this cover looks incredible and could easily become a sought-after winner among collectors.
CAIO CACAU - 2025 MEGACON - COMIC KINGDOM - ALIEN HOMAGE (LIMITED 250)
2926 Value Prediction - Loser
Given the new Disney Alien series, this could be a collector's gamble that pays off significantly. The limited print run and homage cover add to its potential value, especially as interest in the franchise grows. With enough time to send it to CGC for grading, securing a high-grade copy could make this issue a sought-after gem in the aftermarket. Whether you're a fan of the Alien franchise or a savvy investor, this is a book worth considering for your collection.
BATMAN 154 -WILL JACK VIRGIN FOIL (LIMITED 500)
2926 Value Prediction - Break Even when slabbed
With the success of Will Jack NYCC '24 Batman I Love You, we can't rule out the potential impact of the Megacon edition and Batman's dominance in the collector's market and the popularity of exclusive convention variants, this Megacon release could generate significant demand.
2926 Value Prediction - Profit when slabbed Loss with RAW
This homage to the 1988 wolverine #1 could be winner, as the price point is accessible, and ultimate wolverines has been one of the collectable comics this year so far.
ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #1
2926 Value Prediction - Profit when slabbed Loss with RAW
It’s the Year of Doom, and these comics are bound to be incredibly popular. While the main issues will have high print runs, the incentive variants are likely the ones to watch for serious collectors. With the hype surrounding this series, there’s no doubt these books will sell out quickly.
BUG WARS #1 (COVER D PEPE LARRAZ & MATTHEW WILSON VARIANT)
2926 Value Prediction - Evens
From the powerhouse creative team of JASON AARON (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Absolute Superman) and MAHMUD ASRAR (Conan the Barbarian, X-Men, Batman & Robin), this debut launches readers into a dark fantasy world filled with danger, intrigue, and unforgettable characters. It is defiantly different and could be an interesting read.
THE SEASONS #1 - PAUL AZACETA - RETAILER THANK YOU B&W CVR H
2926 Value Prediction - Lose
This limited edition Thank You cover, which has been received exceptionally well by both collectors and readers, could still be trending in the coming weeks. Its rarity—typically limited to just one per retailer—combined with the strong positive reception of the series, makes it a highly desirable item in the aftermarket.
MARK SPEAR MOTHERS #3
2926 Value Prediction - Profit
This comic was massively oversubscribed, just like the rest of the series. These editions are essential to complete a collectors their first print runs. As such these are the editions you won’t want to miss.
