The Silver as well as Bronze Age secrets were in demand this week, none much more so than Iron guy as well as Sub-Mariner #1 thanks to those never-ending Namor film rumors. welcome to this week’s most popular Comics!

Once again, the MCU ruled the collecting world. All five of this week’s most significant movers on the most popular comics listing were somehow connected to the MCU, either by official news or by rumors as well as speculation. Collectors as well as investors were trying to get those secrets before costs get as well out of hand. In some cases, they are already nearing that point.

Before we jump into the data, don’t fail to remember that the most popular Comics index is the 1,001 very popular comics of the week according to eBay’s data. just since a comic is hot does not necessarily imply costs are breaking the ceiling, though higher sales tend to herald higher prices.

On that note, welcome to the top-five most significant movers of the week.

8. IRON guy as well as SUB-MARINER #1 (+992)

The most significant champion of the-week-in-hottest-comics award went to Iron guy as well as Sub-Mariner #1 from 1968. This is a traditional Silver Age problem from famed writers Roy Thomas as well as Archie Goodwin as well as drawn by the legendary gene Colan. For the previously mentioned reasons, this problem is a treasure trove of Marvel’s early days. However, that is not why collectors desired this one. This problem predates both Iron guy #1 as well as Sub-Mariner #1, which implies this is the very first self-titled series for both characters.

Despite news to the contrary, some marvel theorists firmly insist that Namor will be included in the MCU extremely soon. Although he has been heavily rumored for a number of movies, many notably as the antagonist in Black Panther 2, Kevin Feige has previously stated that the screen rights to the Submariner are complicated, which is why nobody understands when he will show up in the MCU.

It appears that unfounded rumors as well as conjecture are sufficient to keep Iron guy as well as Sub-Mariner #1 at the forefront of the Silver Age collections. Not only did the sales volume see a noteworthy spike, however the FMVs were on the up as well as up as well. The only two grades that saw a dip in the past 90 days – the 5.5 as well as the 5.0 – both hauled in recent sales that exceeded the three-month average. 

Even the lower grades have been getting a bump from the Namor rumors. The 4.5, which was the lowest grade offered in the past 90 days, is averaging $135 in the span, as well as that occurs to be close to $50 above its 2020 average.

43. JUSTICE league OF AMERICA #9 (+957)

Is there a cover that screams 1960s much more so than Justice league of America #9? The front cover tells us whatever we requirement to understand about this problem as question Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, eco-friendly Lantern, as well as Aquaman are being transformed into trees. It is traditional Silver Age schlock at its finest.

What draws collectors to JLA #9, aside from seeing the JLA as trees, is that it retells the origin story of the Justice League. With the interest the JLA has been getting as HBO Max nears its Zack Snyder cut of Justice League, all the Silver Age JLA secrets have benefited from the exposure. However, if the fan reaction for the new handle the film is once again negative, then these essential problems might take a big hit, so disposing money into JLA #9 is a gamble, make no mistake. Still, it is difficult to believe that fans will be dissatisfied after the Joss Whedon fiasco that was Justice League. 

The sales volume saw a large increase in the past week, however the FMVs were split among the different grades. typically speaking, the higher grades struggled while the mid as well as lower grades excelled. At the low end of things, the 4.0, which has a 90-day FMV of $139, last offered for $176 in February. That is well ahead of its 2020 typical of $205.

The great part right here is that you can still get your hands on a good grade for under $300. There is the 6.0, a comic that had an FMV of $105 a year back as well as last offered for $240. thinking about this is a minor Silver Age key, it is great anytime you can get a 6.0 for close to $250.

44. TALES OF SUSPENSE #94 (+956)

Marvel Studios’ connection with the HULU streaming service appears to be rocky at the moment. The plug was pulled on Helstrom after one season, as well as a number of marvel jobs that were previously revealed were stopped before they got off the ground. The only one that stays is the adult-themed stop-motion cartoon, M.O.D.O.K. with Patton Oswalt set for the starring voice role. This is still on the routine for May. 

That being said, it makes sense that Tales of Suspense #94 made waves on the most popular comics listing this week. As we get nearer to May, we are likely to see even much more interest on M.O.D.O.K.’s very first anull
