3: DAREDEVIL #11 – RON GARNEY – REGULAR | MARVEL | SEPTEMBER 2016: Ever since Muse made his debut, comic book enthusiasts like me can’t get enough! Just like Echo, he was a mystery to many until the sneak peek of Daredevil: Born Again. Since then, everyone’s been on the hunt to learn more about this enigmatic serial killer and how he measures up against Daredevil. Back when the series wasn’t as popular, copies were easy to find. But with growing anticipation, it’s becoming quite a challenge to get my hands on one! I’ve seen a CGC 9.8 copy going for $208 and a raw NM version selling for $50.

4: “Uncanny X-Men Volume 1 #251 (Marvel, November 1989): Although this comic book has an extremely recognizable cover that’s adored by many, it wasn’t until a billion-dollar movie came out that it gained widespread recognition. This cover is subtly referenced in Deadpool and Wolverine, which have sparked renewed interest in it for months. A recent peek behind the scenes of the film provides a bit more context, attracting fence-sitters to reconsider purchasing it. We’ve seen a high sale price of $300 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current market value of $31 for an ungraded one.”

The affection for this character was reignited when he made an appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine, and with X-Men ’97 already heating things up, these appearances have only intensified the interest. Many fans are now asking, “Who exactly is this character?” This issue, with its captivating Gambit cover and the revelation of his origin within, might just be the answer they’ve been seeking. We found that a near-mint (NM) copy sold for as high as $64, while a current raw NM is valued at around $43.

6: In October 2016, the release of Infamous Iron Man #1 by Marvel caused quite a stir as soon as Robert Downey Jr. appeared on stage. This comic book marked the debut of Dr. Doom as Iron Man, along with a Tony Stark A.I., making it a highly anticipated read. Although the initial excitement has subsided somewhat, there’s still a lot of buzz surrounding it, as demonstrated by its inclusion on this list. We’ve seen a CGC 9.8 copy sell for $255 and a near mint raw version going for $49.

10: “Something is Killing the Children #1 by BOOM! Studios, released in September 2019, gained massive popularity shortly after its release. Fans were eagerly searching through back issues and obscure stores for first print copies. A few years passed, and after a brief quiet period, it was announced that Netflix would adapt the series. However, news about the adaptation seemed to die down until recently when Boom! Studios shared a picture of James Tynion’s first draft script for the second episode on their social media. This has sparked hope among fans, who are now actively trying to acquire copies of this highly sought-after and limited series.
