Any of those old Red Wolf books worth anything now? I used to buy those for a buck whenever I saw them.

I know many people like to point to something that's the beginning of the end, but I think that Gwenpool may legitimately be it.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I guess they are going to make a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle buddy cop movie.

If you really like the book, get the 2nd print! That's a great find.

Booster Gold #1 from the 80's series is heating up as well as Charlton Captain Atom 83 1st Blue Beetle is getting silly money. I remember picking his first few appearances as a gift for a friend at the Comic Swap for around $10 each for VF copies around 7 years ago.

Just a shout out to Elveen for calling that Amazing Spider Man 601. I had no idea it was a Jessica Jones retcon book. Super hot issue.

Criminal Deluxe hardcovers, Ed Backer and Sean Phillips.
The second volume is getting attention ~ any reason why.

No often would any hardcover sell above retail price. Selling on ebay at 3 times retail (double cover), often Hardcovers are sold under RRP.
I wish their was a Spinal Tap comic, and I had a copy CGC graded at 11.

The first print of the first issue is going for around $60-75. It's her first appearance.
Also, the last few issues go for a pretty good price.

Not sure, but it looks like something might be going on with Archie 1, from 2015. Waid script.
This one sold for 10.50.

Here's a seller asking 16.99.

This seller wants 20.00.

I heard they are making an Archie live action tv show on the CW.

From what I have heard, they are defiling Archie.
