Top 10 Comic Books Rising in Value for the Week of 07/22/24
1: DEADPOOL: MERC WITH A MOUTH #7 | MARVEL | JANUARY 2010: The hype for Lady Deadpool is taking over! What started with a tease of her boots has slowly worked its way up to show the entire character in the latest trailer. The character looks great, looking as if she was ripped straight out of the comic book. The only question that remains is, who is behind that mask? Some diehard fans still maintain the theory that it is Taylor Swift. Others have jumped over to Blake Lively. Meanwhile, other fans are hoping that it is a comedic take of just Ryan Reynolds in a blonde wig. We don’t have to wait much longer to find out! We tracked it at a high sale of $400 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw FMV at $139.
2: WOLVERINE #88 – DIRECT EDITION – DELUXE – $1.95 PRICE | MARVEL | DECEMBER 1994: With only a few days left before the debut of Deadpool & Wolverine, we’re seeing fans make one last big push for iconic books. This one marks the first meeting of Wolverine and Deadpool and their first fight. While this week’s fight won’t be the first time Reynold’s Deadpool has met Jackman’s Wolverine… we don’t count X-Men Origins. Therefore, fans are picking up this book in anticipation of the “real” first-time battle between the two mutants! We tracked it at a high sale of $405 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw FMV at $67.
3: THE INCREDIBLE HULK #181 | MARVEL | JULY 1974: While none of the trailers have shown the green behemoth, there are rumors that a brief scene might show Wolverine vs The Hulk. It would be every fan’s dream to see this comic cover appear in live-action. However, this book’s significance is more than the book. It is also the much-debated first appearance of Wolverine. With so many rumors surrounding Wolverine’s staying power in the MCU, fans are picking this book up just in case this is not a one-off appearance! We tracked it at a high sale of $9,330 for a CGC 9.4 copy and a current NM raw FMV at $2,031.
4: THE NEW MUTANTS VOL.1 #98 – ROB LIEFELD – REGULAR | MARVEL | FEBRUARY 1991: Here is another book that is getting ramped up right before the debut of Deadpool & Wolverine. Deadpool is set to have a significant impact on the MCU. Kevin Feige himself has ranked the film just under Infinity War and Endgame in terms of how drastically it will change the MCU. There are also rumors that Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds will return for Secret Wars. This upcoming week will be a HUGE one for comics… not only is the film debuting, but we also have SDCC packed to the brim with rumored announcements. We tracked it at a high sale of $1,100 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw FMV at $388.
5: DOOM #1 – SANFORD GREENE – REGULAR | MARVEL | MAY 2024: Doom continues to trend this week! This book was an instant hit, thanks to the villain’s popularity. However, what kept the book on the top lists was the subtle tribute to the late rapper MF Doom. The first lines of this comic book are lyrics from one of the rapper’s tracks. We tracked it at a high sale of $175 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw FMV of $31.
6: NYX VOL.1 #3 | MARVEL | FEBRUARY 2004: ***SPOILERS***: The latest trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine revealed a massive spoiler for the film. It was long rumored that X-23 would return to the film.

7: ANNIHILATION 2099 #3 – PETE WOODS – FIRST APPEARANCE (1:25) | MARVEL | JULY 2024: Red Hulk hype is running rampant! Red Hulk books have seen an uptick since Red Hulk was confirmed in a trailer for the Captain America: Brave New World film. This past week, Marvel revealed the first appearance of a Red Hulk 2099. Not only that, but they used the 1:25 retailer incentive cover to reveal the character in a tribute to the classic cover of INCREDIBLE HULK #1. We tracked it at a high sale of $95 for an NM copy and a current NM raw FMV at $88.

Not much information was given about Thaddeus Ross’ journey to the red behemoth, but the tease was enough to reignite the hype. Red Hulk’s first appearance is once again trending.
