As a long-time comic book enthusiast with memories of flipping through back issues at local comic shops and attending conventions, I can say that this list is a treasure trove for collectors! From the highly sought-after J. Scott Campbell variants to the anticipated crossovers between iconic characters like Deadpool and Wolverine, there’s something here for everyone.
Collectors have been eagerly anticipating the chance to invest in Marvel Cinematic Universe merchandise, and this week has offered something truly unusual. The announcement at MCU Hall H that Robert Downey Jr. will play Victor Von Doom has sent collectors scrambling to acquire anything connected to both characters. It’s worth noting that the exact words used were that RDJ would portray Victor Von Doom, not Tony Stark as Dr. Doom or even mentioning the name Dr. Doom. Despite this, the comic community finds it hard to separate Downey from Iron Man, leading to a frenzy of speculation about around 16 comics and their variants. These books aren’t cheap – many are commanding all-time high prices, with some jumping from just $1 to over $100! It remains unclear what the end game is for these comic releases, as Feige and his team likely have a larger plan in mind that won’t be revealed until closer to the film’s release. Some of these books may increase in value down the line, but many will not. Additionally, this week has also seen a surge in demand due to Deadpool & Wolverine’s blockbuster box office and exclusive San Diego Comic-Con items (we tracked 525 different exclusives!). Let’s delve into these trends as they can be a bit perplexing. Here we go!

Top 10 Comic Books Rising in Value for the Week of 07/29/24
1: Issue #1 of Infamous Iron Man, published by Marvel in 2016: The revelations made during the Hall H event were groundbreaking. Robert Downey Jr. is rejoining the MCU as Victor Von Doom, although the specifics about this character’s role within a multiverse context remain unclear. Despite the lack of clarity, collectors have been eagerly seeking out this issue following the announcement. After all, it’s hard to separate Iron from Man for RDJ, so logically, they might choose to explore Victor Von Doom’s initial appearance as Iron Man, with Tony Stark’s AI stepping in when Tony is left comatose due to Civil War II events. The potential storyline has the makings of an exciting beginning, but it’s essential to remember that things could change. However, if you look at early indications, the story might actually revolve around Tony Stark adopting the identity of Victor Von Doom. Until we have more information, it may be prudent to hold off on purchasing this book at its current price as it might not be a sound investment. But we can’t deny that we are all eager for Marvel to recapture the pre-Endgame brilliance. The anticipation for the announcement and the release of Deadpool & Wolverine is palpable. We saw a high sale of $249 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw price of $99.
Deadpool & Wolverine #251 (Marvel, 1989) – A Classic Favorite With a Nod to the Past:
3: MARVEL TEAM-UP #2 | MARVEL | 2005: The Hall H firebomb is rocketing up the charts! RDJ returning to the MCU (in any capacity) is apparently what fans have been dying for, and they’re making it known on the aftermarket. However, this one is a bit of a misdirect. Social Media posts, from even Mr. Rob Liefeld himself, pointed to this issue as the first time Tony Stark appeared as Dr. Doom, helping it to get a huge boost in the aftermarket. However, to quickly address it: (1) It’s kind of the first… when you focus on the “appears to be Dr. Doom” part, (2) This is Tony Stark as an alternate Tony Stark (with a Dr. Doom-ish mask who is mistaken for Doom several times), (3) this specific issue (#2) is a quick cameo appearance (full appearance and reveal in issue #3) and (4) RDJ was not announced at Hall H as “Tony Stark as Dr. Doom”, but specifically as Victor Von Doom. Online sources, like Fandom, name this alternate version as “Iron Maniac,” despite not being named that in any of these issues. These factors helped it jump from a back-issue book to an aftermarket darling in less than a day! Keep in mind that we don’t know if RDJ will be portraying Tony Stark as Doom, a variant of Tony Stark, or something that lies in between. But more on that in a bit. Marvel has established that there are some variant trickery at play. We tracked it at a high sale of $250 for a CGC 9.8 copy, and a current NM raw price of $18.
4: IF YOU’RE A FAN OF IRON MAN AND DR. DOOM, THIS IS A COMIC BOOK WORTH CHECKING OUT! “Iron Man: Demon in Armor #1” is a fantastic homage to one of Iron Man’s most famous covers from the “Demon in a Bottle” storyline. In this comic, Dr. Doom switches minds with Tony Stark, leading to some intriguing possibilities! This book could be a hint at the direction Marvel might take with its recent Hall H announcement. The issue provides a plausible interpretation of what was hinted. It’s the only book where Victor Von Doom can assume the identity of Iron Man/Tony Stark. With an impressive cover and high anticipation, unfortunately, it seems this comic has already been sold out (unless you find a copy in stores). If you want a more detailed explanation, check out the YouTube channel “Everything Always.” Keep in mind we have two years for more theories and interpretations. So get ready! We found a high sale of $324 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current NM raw price of $162.
5: THE NEW MUTANTS VOLUME 1 #98 – ROB LIEFELD – REGULAR | MARVEL | 1991: At last, it arrives! Deadpool and Wolverine have made their debut, sparking a frenzy in the market. Yet, the buzz has been around for quite some time now. It’s uncertain if he will reappear in future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, but collectors remain undeterred. Enthusiasts of the character have significantly boosted box office earnings over the weekend. As the excitement calms down a bit, there might be opportunities for those seeking to own this Deadpool key at more reasonable prices. We’ve observed its peak sale at $1,195 for a CGC 9.8 edition and a current NM raw price of $404.

8: ABSOLUTE BATMAN ASHCAN – NICK DRAGOTTA – 2024 San Diego Comic-Con – FOIL (LIMITED 500) | DC | 2024: This book, released at the SDCC and now sought after in the secondary market, has garnered attention due to its unveiling of a highly anticipated new Batman suit. Fans are excited about this darker, underdog narrative for their beloved character. The unique manga-inspired art by Nick Dragotta adds to the appeal. We’ve seen an NM copy sell for $220 and the current raw market value is at $123.
Issue 31 of Deadpool (2014): Introducing Ellie Comacho, the offspring of Deadpool, otherwise known as Wade Wilson. This comic is currently popular due to updates from San Diego Comic-Con about Marvel comics. As per Marvel, “Deadpool’s daughter, Ellie, assumes the role of Deadpool following Wade’s demise in ‘Deadpool’ #7” starting this October. While she had a brief appearance in Deadpool #19, this issue provides a more substantial role, explaining its current popularity. We’ve noticed that a CGC 9.8 copy is selling for approximately $145, and a near mint (NM) raw edition goes for around $24.
Exiles Vol.1 #23 (Marvel, 2003): Wow, the Iron Man/Doom cover series is stunning! If Hall H ever becomes a historical site, it’s thanks to this announcement, but the fanbase could be forever changed. This book could very well shape Marvel’s future, although uncertainty remains, making it all the more intriguing.
