Top 6 New Comics This Week 8-20-25.
For comic collectors, there’s no such thing as a “quiet” week—just weeks where the hunt is more about patience than chaos. This week, the hunt is neither quiet nor patient. The publishers decided to feed the aftermarket machine with milestone celebrations, character reinventions, and even one of the most bizarre crossover visuals Marvel has ever dared to put on a cover. It’s a reminder that speculation isn’t just about chasing whatever the internet screams about first—it’s about recognizing the moments that will still have people talking years later, when those bagged-and-boarded copies start surfacing at prices that make you wish you’d grabbed more. From milestone issues to Venomized kaiju, this week’s Top 5 comics carry that combination of novelty and credibility that keeps collectors awake on Tuesday night.
Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #2
Because apparently leveling Manhattan wasn’t enough—now Godzilla’s wearing a symbiote. This marks the first time in comic history the King of the Monsters gets the Marvel mash-up treatment, and the regular cover shows him in mid-Venomization. Black Panther uncovers a vibranium clue to the rampage, Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman have gone missing along with the Baxter Building, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are stuck working with the Bar With No Name’s most questionable regulars. For collectors, Dave Wachter’s Marvelized Ghost Rider-Zilla variant is historic in its own right—first mash-up of its kind, first Venomized Godzilla cover, and exactly the kind of concept that makes variant hunters start hoarding. The storyline is pure crossover chaos, but the covers are where the long-term speculation lives.
Black Cat #1
Felicia Hardy is back, but this isn’t just another “cat burglar causes trouble” arc. Coming off the Hellgate fight, she’s leaning into the hero side—but with a “side hustle” that will keep the feds guessing. Her first big target in this reinvented role? The Lizard. With G. Willow Wilson scripting and Gleb Melnikov on art, the book has all the hallmarks of a modern relaunch that could become a defining run if the fan response is strong. Reinvention arcs for already popular characters have a habit of spiking in aftermarket value when a big creative name is attached—especially when it’s a #1 issue with room for a new villain, new status quo, or costume change to stick.
Venom Black, White & Blood #1
The Venom anthology format returns with a triple-shot of stories that lean into brutality, art experimentation, and fan nostalgia. David Michelinie and Gerardo Scharf drop Venom into a jungle paramilitary nightmare, J.M. DeMatteis and Dave Wachter dissect the darkness between Eddie and his son in the shadow of Maximum Carnage, and Ryan North with Creees Lee give the Lethal Protector a vigilante edge in defense of a child. Black, White & Blood runs have a track record of producing iconic short stories and panels that later become must-own key moments. Anthologies may not seem like big speculative plays, but history says they can deliver panels or concepts that fans chase for years.
All-New Spider-Gwen the Ghost-Spider #1
Gwen Stacy is officially an Earth-616 resident now, and she’s not exactly easing into it. New costume, new band, new rogues, and potentially a new direction that could redefine her presence in the main Marvel continuity. First issues for a character with an established, rabid fan base tend to see demand regardless, but this one’s got added speculative weight—her rogues’ gallery is in line for expansion, and even a small first appearance here could have long legs. Expect variant cover heat as well, with the creative team setting the tone for a fresh era collectors will want to be in on from the start.
Detective Comics #1100
A milestone this big doesn’t just show up—it arrives with a lineup of creative talent that makes the back issue bins weep with joy. Tom Taylor & Mikel Janin, Greg Rucka & Alvaro Martinez Bueno, Mariko Tamaki & Amancay Nahuelpan, and Dan Watters & Bill Sienkiewicz each take a shot at Gotham and the man who refuses to let it break him. Anniversary issues are collectible on name and number alone, but when the stories range from character introspection to Gotham’s influence on its worst criminals, you’re looking at a book that could be a cornerstone for milestone chasers. High-profile creative teams plus the issue number magic—this one belongs in the stack.
Superman Unlimited #4
Where Jimmy Olsen’s latest gig at the Daily Planet’s Gotham branch lands him in the middle of a disaster—Superman has gone full monster, and his first appearance as Superman-Bat makes this an immediate key issue. Gotham’s heroes are scrambling to stop him, but Bruce Wayne’s busy in Emerald City (that can’t be good). Meanwhile, Jon Kent starts Kryptonite survival training back in Smallville. First appearance plus an unusual hybrid Superman variant? That’s an automatic “watch closely” for value spikes.
