Like I said, they will need to introduce more heroes into the films.

A NM copy of the first issue of Civil Was goes for 59.94. I bought 150 of these originally, but they are long gone. I did well, but not that well.

It was about a 7 or 10 dollar book until a week or so ago. It was always pricier than the other 6 regular issues in the series.

For some reason early appearances of Bucky O'Hare have been heating up/selling in my area. My local shop sold a 1st app for $25 and 2-4 for $10 each while I was there. Prior to that I had no idea what that Echo book was but it sounds like he has moved more of them this month than the past 5 years. Apparently there is a film or cartoon in the works and the book debuted the same month as TMNT. Might be more of a book to pull out in case it takes off than a good flip.

Sometimes the books featured on Comic Daily's "Undervalued" column see a little bump, and that book was featured recently:

I thank you guys for mentioning this. I love that old style art (that was back in Neals Heyday IMHO) so I bought 5 copies at like $3 ea. fun to speculate on cheap books like that. And if I like the story it's a unknown series for me to collect. But I think this book has enough historical significance to make it collectible especially at that price point. So again thank you all.

I can tell you after this weekend. I do wish they would have waited another weekend to announce.
I think the inhumans books will be rising.
