10 Comics (No One Wants) 

Shame.

Because it's a dime a dozen. You can get it at any comic shop easily. It's worth the value of the most expensive thing on the Burger King value menu

Despite that, I am still glad that I kept it in the bag and didn't wear the black armband like someone I knew.

blame the SJW!

Just like at the Willow show and Witcher Blood Origin. They really want to sell unlikable psychos for some reason…

Brie Larson didn't do Captain Marvel's likeability any favors either.

Lol "massive captain marvel fan"

@@dimitrijetucovic1307 LOL great !!! i hope those comic book investments work out for you.😅

That’s funny, I brought a copy of Turok from Comic Kingdom in Sydney, just before they closed

There's Turok movie scripts floating around since 1992. I bet those end up in bins too

​@@OliverDunlop I remember that place was a freak show when I used to shop there. A friend of mine coined it the Tatooine Cantina.

I thought they were going to get a bump after the video game became popular: Nope.

Moved into an old comic book store like 15 years ago. Cleaning up found boxes of comics. I know i have like 50 copies of issue number 1 Turok.

Just awful low level “art” any no talent high schooler could draw that. Time for glasses, I think.

There were much worse covers later in the run. Some of the later covers were atrocious.

TRUE!

The crazy thing about all the Valiant books is they have probably aged better than most of the mid to late '90's books. It's just that most people aren't familiar with the characters and Valiant art is solid but not jaw dropping.

@@jameydunne3920 I liked the Valiant stuff myself. I've picked up the omnibus editions as they've released them. As you said nothing jaw dropping but stories were decent enough. Looking forward to the Eternal Warrior omnibus too

@@aarongomez9440 Did you see the Vin Diesel Bloodshot movie? If so, what did you think?

Those Valiant Nintendo comics are pretty out there

Flawed, but I liked it. It felt a little like the Marvel Winter Soldier story that I really wanted but didn't get. I heard there was a sequel in the works, and was curious how they would build on the first one

Yup, I see a lot of Excalibur, and you can add New Warriors to that list too!

I’m with you on Excalibur. I feel those early Claremont/Davis issues are some of the most slept on issues in the secondary market

@@ImagineNationInk Fact!

@@ImagineNationInk Is "secondary market" a common term, because it works as a descriptor for stuff like that? Minor titles/second tier - I've seen. Like X-Factor/New Mutants/DC equivalents.

@@joshuaclark1930 “Secondary market” essentially means reselling something after the initial publication/release. For example; eBay, garage sales, thrift stores, dollar bins, etc

I guess it’s tangentially mentioned here by Valiant’s entire 90s run. I believe Valiant’s mastermind Shooter was behind that essentially cold run to the Valiant universe.

Truth!

Same for me but it wasn't so bad. Esp Justice.

I rather liked DP7 and Nightmask, but I've deliberately avoided the other New Universe titles.

A lot of those have potential . when they get a tv show.you'll shoot yourself

I’d love to!

Yeah, listening to youtubers or "hot spec key" websites about "investment" has lost a lot of people their shirts with 2022 MCU spec for example. (That said I thought Bloodlines, new 52 Superman, Civil War II are not worth 50 cents as someone who reads comics and doesn't look at them like stocks.)

No mention of "investment " or "value " that I can hear. Just " these don't sell. They're dollar bin stuff and still won't move. "

Yeah, money is a lie the government is lying to you 😜

I will trade you a stack of Cable #1 books 😁

Really? I remember those shot up to $10/$15 for a while

@@GhostRiderSpiritOfVengeance an antique mall in my area has a stack of both Cabel #1 and Bloodshot #1. I was debating on buying them all and throwing them up on ebay.

Nowadays most books don't even have that circulation.

true. which shows how much the market has changed. a friend of mine has a shop and his $ in sales have been somewhat constant over the years, even though the cover prices have increased, so numbers have been going down@@davidallen8891

Hell yea bro I got a stack of elflord too 😂

I've been trying to collect a full run of Elflord for around 25 years but there are still certain issues I can't find. It's weird, I can find hundreds of copies of certain issues for next to nothing, but others are impossible to track down.

Ruse is a great tv show idea.

Negation is still one of my all-time favorites!

I'll check it out!

I second this. Moore's run was really solid and once Pollina came on for the art they meshed really well on storytelling. Moore is really an under appreciated writer in my book. His Chronos book for DC only lasted like 12 issues but was a sleeper hit for me back in the 90s.

That X Force run,especially the issue in the thumbnail,is what got me back into comics. Absolutely loved it and still do. Pollinas art was incredible and so was Jimmy Cheungs when he took over. Probably the best run X Force ever had outside the X Statics stuff.

@@miggypeso909 Yeah, I was surprised to see the Stryfe In Hell issue, that was probably the best issue of an x-book that came out that year.

@@chrisschumacher8553 wasn’t it tho? Especially the ending! I have no idea why people don’t like this run.

I collected a bunch of these when they were current along with a lot of other titles that are probably in the 10 cent bins: Nexus, American Flagg, Camelot 3000, Amethyst, Arion, Dalgoda and so on.

@@actionic135 I grabbed them up as I enjoy Mike Grell's work so I figured I'd give them a try

Woot woot!

I have some. Good ideas, third rate art.

Jokes aside, i like it a lot as well.😊

Garbage series with guys in steroids or gun freaks. The gals were mostly centerfolds. The best of the worst being Gen13.

Same here. I have most number 1s and some 0s. I acquired Harbinger 2 sometime in 92. Early 93 I was told by my LCS it was valued around 75 bucks. I thought I had struck gold and stored them in a nice place.

Agree completely, I loved the Valiant run from the early 90's...and then they fired Jim Shooter and it all went to Hell very quickly.

@@michaelbaker8375 Absolutely! Jim Shooter was the glue that held it all together. I think he did way more for Valiant than he did for Marvel

Solar was really good imo

This. I just wrote a comment relating this. Granted, Valiant was greatly helped getting noticed being that the Wizard crew hyped them to kingdom come, and they were competing against Image, Marvel (I believe post-Claremont) and DC. Image was just that, all about looks and not so much coherent storylines. Marvel and DC had just lost their powerhouses when Image came around, right after shifting into the “image is all that matters” idea of comics. Leaving Valiant to develop stories. So I’m glad to hear they didn’t keep their value, as I’d love to pick them up whenever I make it back to the States.

Valiant up until BWS left was incredible. Some of the best comics ever.

I've been looking for a clean Shadowhawk 1 newsstand edition for years. I usually pick up the Savage Dragon books because I think they're a good read. Larson doesn't get respect he deserves for that or his work on ASM and SM.

@@jmpw005 I've been searching for all six of the Image launch titles in Newsstands and so far I have Cyberforce 1 and Shadowhawk 1. I am still looking for the others but I think that Shadowhawk 1 is the hardest one to find in high grade, I just got lucky to score one.

@@jthomascruz4890 Good luck finding the rest. I was able to get a high grade newsstands of the titles I liked. Someday I'll get that Shadowhawk #1 to go with my #2 & #3 newsstands.

I'll take them over new 52 Superman anyday. New 52 Superman sucks on toast, that to me is when Dan Didio got his cold greedy as hell hands on Superman.

@@jakeproven256 I totally agree. Those N52 Superman are dirt cheap too because nobody wants them. The 2000's were awesome for Superman IMO. We had Busiek, Rucka, Azzarello, Loeb, and Johns runs during that time. Shoot, Richard Donner even got in on the action. If you ask me that decade of Superman is criminally underrated. But whatever, cheaper back issues for us.

@@jaylucien669 Yes, a lot of decades for Superman are underrated in fact.

@@jakeproven256 I couldn't agree more.

That’s what happens when you have an ultra powerful hero and he’s been around for years: you run out of things to do with him. I feel like once he died, he should have comeback with old golden age Superman powers and worked to earn back his modern Superman abilities (kinda like a goku kaio Ken to super saiyan and beyond type of thing). I mean he was fizzling out in the 50s and they didn’t know what to do anymore so they had to introduce new things like kryptonite and brainiac and the like. That’s where Superman has always shined as a comic: when he fights villains with superior minds not brutish villains because there’s no way they can win. It’s almost like an inevitability for Superman to win and for him to be interesting as a character again, he needs to take a lot more losses. That’s why the movie man of steel was so controversial amongst comic fans. Superman doesn’t kill but you made him do so when the more interesting story is let him stick with his principles and have to live with the fact that Zod killed someone and Superman didn’t kill him to stop him. That’s what would’ve made a better sequel. It’s not how Superman deals with his powers it’s how his powers and his villains gallery affect those who are around him. When there’s a Superman writer who understands that we will have an awesome Superman run on our hands.

For great deals - it's worth it!

(29.02.24) Actually people still collect to read...but personal tastes change. From 1983 to 1989/90, I was a hardcore 'Marvel Zombie' getting every (non-licensed only, save for the reg Star Wars title) Marvel branded comic - then I got disillusioned by Mutant Massacre and Fall of the Mutants and switched to Batman after selling off most of my Marvel books. Even now I cull my collection every now and then.

Glad you enjoyed!

Just bizarre and full of “shock value”

After the first five years it was becoming like the rest of marvel. Better to burn up than to fade away. Afterward what was left was a draugr.

I completed my run last year. I bought lots to complete it.

Yea X Factor had a lot comicbooks nobody wanted

Malibu's Ultraverse was a tragedy. I LOVED it, I have most of it. For three years Mantra's a$$ was in every comic in the lists of back issues for sale. Then the collapse of the industry in the 90s Marvel buys it and runs it into the ground. It is SO forgotten that even when they do multiversual travel they never go there.

Firearm was better than people remember. Now I want to build that set haha

Ive got the entire malibu/ ultraverse universe! Fits into one short box!!👍

I still have every issue of Malibu's Ultraverse titles. Really enjoyed them - still do!

@@stevenschaller1672 You are short, I need two boxes(not long comic store boxes but still). I miss it.

I forgot.i keep the marvel crossover issues seperate! All the infinity stuff too!👍

He said the current run. These 2000s Superman books with writers like Rucka, Johns, Verheiden were very popular. That’s why there were so many printed. The World of New Krypton ran in too long.

Valiant, Defiant and most Image books at the time are good for kindling.

At least X-Factor has some good covers in the 1-100 range.

Valiant had some of the best art. So did Ultraverse.

*LOVED* X-Force back in the day! Feral was a total babe! I stopped following the series when Caliban joined the team and Warpath somehow shrank and began wielding a bo staff. Sometimes change isn't good...
