Marvel has decided to reboot Amazing Spider-man. Why? Other than money I have no idea. What exactly was wrong with the first three movies? Anyway, here is the trailer. If you are looking for comic book picks before the 2012 release I suggest Amazing Spider-man #6 – the first Lizard (Dr. Curtis Connors). There are several for sale below the trailer. Enjoy!
It’s difficult to deny the positive link between comic book movies and certain individual comic values. The resulting price increases have been stunning, but you have to be careful. One impressive example has been Avenger #4.
Avengers #4 is what I would call a direct tie-in to the recent Captain America movie. As an added bonus we may see continued interest in this book due to the upcoming Avengers movie also. Avengers #4 is the first Silver Age appearance of Captain America, and most importantly he is found in a manner somewhat consistent with the movie.
Let’s look at some values.
In 2007, before there wasn’t any confirmed movie news and you could get a CGC 9.4 copy for $7,750. In 2011 the same grade will set you back $30,000! Pretty impressive, right?
Not all Avengers or Captain America comic books increased like this, not even close. You have to be careful and pick the right comics at the right time. When and if you sell you have to sell at the right time with the right method.
A couple of years ago I ran a video seminar and released an entire course about profiting from this comic book movie trend. The price for the entire package was $67.00. I had numerous requests to release a “light” version of the course to make it more financially accessible to collectors. I’m happy to say I’ve put together just such a product!
I took the two most important pieces of the Comics + Movies = Cash course and released them in a two piece product. If you are interested you can get access below. The new product feature the full video seminar plus an audio only mp3 version to listen to at your convenience. Instead of $67 I priced this new “light” version at $9.95.
The John Carter movie is slated for a 2012 release and today we’ll look at the trailer and my picks for this movie. While technically not a “comic book movie,” neither was Transformers and the Marvel comic book sold like hotcakes for that release. I don’t want to miss the same thing happening with this movie and I’ll be watching closely. The trailer looks interesting and since it’s a Disney release this has some blockbuster potential. Take a look.
My John Carter Comic Book Picks
I’m concentrating on three comics to see how this pans out. First is DC Tarzan Vol. 1 which includes the first appearance of John Carter. It’s not an obvious pick and people will have to do some research to discover it’s significance. Next is the Marvel Comics title John Carter Warlord of Mars. It’s a great cover and in my opinion has the best potential, but I could be wrong. We’ll see. My final pick is Weird Worlds #7 purely for the awesome cover! Take a look at the John Carter comics for sale below to get a good idea of current values.
