Alice Cooper #1 – 
There have been many Alice Cooper sightings within the world of comic books throughout the years. Most of these comics are made for one purpose really, for Alice Cooper fans. But some non-fans, very few, demand or await the latest Alice appearance with bated breath. They’re meant to be fun stories for a certain niche market. However, one comic in demand throughout the years has always been Alice Cooper’s very first appearance in Marvel Premiere #50 (1979). This 44-year-old comic received a “best offer” off of a $350 offering recently (CGC graded 9.8). So, we’re looking at $300 maybe? That’s hardly breaking the bank for a 44-year-old key comic, but it’s still 300 bucks.
The new Dynamite Entertainment series is written by Rodney Barnes and penciled by Edu Menna.
Star Wars The High Republic – Shadows Of Starlight #1 – A new Star Wars saga with the very first comic book appearance of Soleil Agra. She appears on a variant cover. That would be the one to snag. And look for possible other first appearances as well.
Ghost Rider Annual #1 – A Halloween-type story that sets the “foundation for the future of the Ghost Rider”.
Alien Annual #1 – Marvel’s first Alien Annual. Will it contain a first appearance? Maybe.
Fire & Ice Welcome To Smallville #2 – An Ambush Bug sighting! Yes, Ambush makes an appearance this week. Did you know the Bug first appeared in DC Comics Presents #52, 41 years ago? Did you also know that a CGC 9.8 graded sold for ONLY $144 recently? Kinda crazy considering all of the overpriced madness still occurring.

The New Champions variant covers begin to arrive this Wednesday. These covers are pointed out by Marvel themselves as first appearance covers (thanks to us for coining this term as collector pieces years ago. You’re welcome Marvel). So, for the next four weeks, comic collectors will endure the sights of “younger” versions of various heroes and villains within the Marvel Universe. Marvel explains they are riding on the coattails of the recent Spider-Boy popularity with the younger/fresher look. None, most, of the characters on these covers will ever see the light of day again after their one-and-done cover. A great marketing scheme by Marvel to see which aesthetically pleasing eye appeal will hit the hardest with fans. Whether that is one or five or NONE at all remains to be seen, literally. If collectors go ga-ga over a specific cover (character), expect a big payday on the speculative side. We’re going to bring you the new character covers every week and you decide for yourself which has the possible potential of aftermarket bliss. We’ll choose the Peach Momoko X-Men character this week, you? Here are the four new arrivals this week, with SIX new arrivals next week, and eight the following week. Yikes. X-Men #27, Black Panther #5, Fantastic Four #12, Doctor Strange #8.

Ranger Academy #1 – It’s as though InvestComics has been here before. Actually, we have. You see, three years ago we informed our speculators of a book named Strange Academy #1 from Marvel Comics. We said many things about that new release at the time (2020). We come with receipts, check out a few snippets….
*Just like we told you last week Strange Academy will be a huge property……
*Speculators listen up. There is a big sleeper book among you and its name is Strange Academy #1. This comic, this series, will be very successful….
*Do not sleep on this. So, while you have time off and hoarding some cash, buy up some Strange Academy #1….
*Doctor Strange opens school on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2020. What a fantastic idea for a comic series. Look for this comic to hit its stride immediately with comic fans.
So, back in 2020, we made a bunch of speculators on here some cold hard cash. We still do, but this, right now, is for the sole purpose of maybe hitting the jackpot once again for our fans.
This new offering/story, from Boom Studios has the potential of cascading our Strange Academy comic speculation. It truly does. The Power Rangers lure has a very large fanbase and this comic will reach beyond that. The new series will focus on the “training” to become a Power Ranger. Not only has this story never been visited in this way, but the possibilities here as far as the upside are tremendous. Think about all of the new characters about to be introduced, the true origins of each color Ranger, and then the biggest uptick will be either an animation series or better yet a movie based on this idea/story. This Boom Studios comic series will be explosive with readers and more so, the speculator. Imagine if you will, a serious film based on the Power Rangers. It begins here. Do yourself a favor and pick up each new release and do not forget our contribution tabs below (wink-wink).
Actually, before buying the new release, purchase the Free Comic Book Day issue first. That will be the true bag. Click on the cover NOW and grab one before it’s way too late.
G.O.D.S. #1 – Marvel’s been touting this new Jonathan Hickman story as a very big deal for months now. Well, this Wednesday we finally get to see the product. Will it live up to its hype? Will we see new characters that did not first appear on the variant cover promotion Marvel ran? We say yes, there will be someone in here we haven’t seen just yet. Marvel says “Jonathan Hickman re-invents the cosmology of the Marvel Universe”. Okay, we’re ready, let’s go!
Fantastic Four #12 – Hey didn’t we already cover this comic? Yes, but that was regarding the outside of the comic, now we deal with the inside. Inside here you’ll find the first appearance of many dinosaur Marvel characters. Complete with hero garb and coloring. No, we’re not joking.

Shazam! #4 – Writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora are creating a buzz on their new title. Find out why DC is saying they’re about to turn this character on its proverbial head.
DC’s Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun! #1 – Did Cyndi Lauper approve of this title? Halloween short story comics are always fun because you usually receive your favorite artist or writer creating something they usually don’t. Plus, sometimes you receive a first creator work too. Sometimes you look for that first work of your new favorite creator and you wind up in a collaboration issue. Like this one. Or a first appearance….like this one.
Strange Academy The Amazing Spider-Man #1 – And here is the essential reason the Strange Academy concept has lost its luster a bit. These ridiculous team-ups and watering down of the lure. Keeping an ongoing Strange Academy series rolling with its original numbering, no restarts or baseless team-ups would have a significantly better collector value than it does now. But, Marvel wants to make coin, so they do things like this. Which at the end of the day is fine, but it does devalue the collector’s side of things for the Strange Academy aftermarket. True story.
Black Panther #5 – Learn about the new character Gray Wolf.
