\nWatchmen 1
\nNew Mutants 98
\nNew Mutants 87
\nGI Joe 155
\nBatman: The Killing Joke<\/p>\n

Selected Hot 10<\/strong>
\nSpawn 185
\nUltimatum 1 (McGuinness Variant)
\nGI Joe A New Beginning 0 (Templesmith variant)
\nBatman 681 (Daniel Variant)<\/p>\n

I’m very concerned for anyone purchasing the modern comics as an “investment.” If you notice, most of the comics are variant covers. In my opinion, once again, this looks like a manufactured collectible. If you study the prices of newsstand comic books over the past few years, the variants are the “valuable” issues. I put valuable in quotations because the value is fleeting. I think you are play hot potato with these books. History has shown a quick rise and a sudden plunge in price. Personally, it’s a game I don’t play. Consider yourself warned.<\/p>\n
