What comics from the last 4-5 years is going to be a major collector's item10070

I'm with the majority here.

Immortal Hulk at number one. We all know the reasons for the Hulk title being hot.

Canto at number two. Great story, and characters. Could easily be a cartoon movie that would have a huge following.

That's my two cents.

Tank Girl #1 will be hot right up to the point the movie comes out or the movie gets halted in development. That's at least 12 to 24 months of movement on the book.

Anyone heard any news on the Spawn movie front? It has been in pre-production for awhile. The Jamie Fox casting announcement was in May 2018.

I agree with your thoughts on Immortal hulk for sure, it seems to just keep up growing and grabbing new people in...nice choices regardless !!!


No offense at all taken to your reply. I enjoy the discussion!

I think the major difference between Rick and Morty 1 and the other similar properties you mention is the number printed. Ren & Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead were printed by Mighty Marvel, not Omni. And they were printed in the mid 1990's, when new comics were being heavily speculated on. IDK what the sales figures were on these books, but I think it's reasonable to believe sales of these first issues were way, way north of 100,000 copies. When interest slows down, there's a big difference between 7,000 copies and 200,000 copies in the market.

As for Spongebob 1, that book actually doesn't belong in the same class as the other two we are discussing. Published 2011, this book actually brings a couple of hundred bucks in 9.8 and raw copies on eBay - though it varies - typically fetch $25-$60. And the title is still being published (up to about issue 90?) where Beavis and Ren managed just two year runs.

I'm a vintage guy so am generally cynical of "new comics as an investment". But having discussed it, Sponge Bob might not be a bad choice - if one is choosing from recent books. It is a few years past the OP's 4-5 year criteria though.
