X-MEN #94 sales just EXPLODED 200%… And Nobody Saw This Veronica Book Coming

4/13/2026
This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we break down a huge move for X-MEN #94, which saw a 200% jump in copies sold after comments that the upcoming X-Men reboot will draw heavily from Chris Claremont’s run. We talk why this book matters, recent CGC sales, and whether raw copies are still hiding out there. In our 25 Year Rule segment, we spotlight VERONICA #111 from 2001, featuring the unforgettable “Here Comes Powerteen!” story, where Veronica turns herself into a superhero brand and accidentally stops a real crook. We also dig into this week’s Underrated Books of the Week, with PLANETARY #1 and GIANT-SIZE SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM-UP #1, two very different books that both deserve more attention from collectors.

Amazing Spider-Man covers explode after Brand New Day trailer | Alias #1 | Underrated Picks

3/23/2026
This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, a Bronze Age Spider-Man book is suddenly scorching hot. Hot Book of the Week: Amazing Spider-Man #134 (1974) — first appearance of Tarantula and a debated Punisher appearance that many collectors still argue about. After the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer gave fans their first live-action look at Tarantula in a scene mirroring this issue’s cover, sales spiked hard and high-grade raws are climbing fast. 25 Year Rule: Alias #1 (Marvel MAX, 2001) — the first appearance of Jessica Jones and the launch of Marvel’s adult-oriented MAX approach in a way that felt genuinely different at the time. We talk about why this book mattered, why it caused immediate conversation, and why it still reads like a major tone shift for 2000s comics. Underrated Books of the Week: We’ve got a genuinely unsettling prestige-format story on deck (Batman: The Cult #1) and another sleeper that’s far more significant than most collectors realize.

Another Image #1 Spec Spike? Tigress Island #1 + Comico Newsstand Disaster + Kirby’s Private Strong

3/16/2026
This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we’re breaking down another brand-new comic that’s already selling above cover price immediately after release. Hot Book of the Week: Tigress Island #1 (Image Comics) is showing immediate post-release heat, with copies selling around $11–$17. We talk about what to watch for with books that spike this fast, why sold listings matter more than asking prices, and why issues #2 and #3 will be the real test. Old Fart Rule:Justice Machine Featuring the Elementals #1 (Comico, 1986). We dig into this overlooked crossover mini and the bigger story behind it: Comico’s ill-fated push into newsstand distribution, why returnability crushed publishers, and why newsstand copies from this window are a fascinating collecting wrinkle today. Underrated Books of the Week: Classics Illustrated #1 (The Three Musketeers) — the book that launched an entire educational comics line, with real collector demand for early printings. The Double Life of Private Strong #1 (1959) — a pivotal Joe Simon/Jack Kirby superhero revival right before Kirby’s return to Marvel, featuring the first appearance of The Fly.

3/9/2026
Collectors, this week is wild! Hot Book of the Week: Astro Boy #1 (Gold Key, 1965) is surging after news of a Sony live-action Astro Boy film with Jason Reitman developing the project — and high-grade copies are already reaching up to $800. Then for our 25 Year Rule, we revisit Amazing Spider-Man #30 (2001) — the first issue written by J. Michael Straczynski, kicking off one of the most influential (and controversial) Spider-Man runs ever. It introduces Ezekiel Sims and Morlun, launches the early Spider-Totem mythology, and resets the tone of Spider-Man for the 2000s. Underrated Books of the Week: Nottingham #1 (Mad Cave, 2021) flips Robin Hood into a medieval noir crime mystery from the Sheriff’s point of view. Modeling with Millie #54 (Marvel, 1967) is the final issue of the series — featuring the truly bizarre “Millie the Marvel” superhero dream story that you have to hear to believe.

The X-Men Reboot That Changed Everything | Underrated Comic Gems

1/12/2026
This week, we’re digging into a major turning point for modern comics — past and present. First up, Absolute Wonder Woman #15 delivers the first-ever meeting of Batman and Wonder Woman in the Absolute Universe, and it’s anything but traditional. With a more primal, myth-driven Diana and a brutal, consequence-heavy tone, this issue marks a true escalation point for the Absolute line — and collectors have noticed, with sales jumping 176% this week. Then, for our 25 Year Rule, we rewind to 2001, a pivotal recovery year for the comic industry after the speculator crash. That brings us to New X-Men #114, the launch of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s era-defining run. This issue reimagined mutants as a global culture, reshaped the X-Men’s visual identity, and directly influenced the look and themes of the X-Men films — all while remaining surprisingly affordable on the market today. Finally, in Underrated Books of the Week, we spotlight two sleepers that deserve more love:Camelot 3000 #1 — Mike W. Barr and Brian Bolland’s futuristic Arthurian epic, and a landmark early direct-market series.Captain America #159 — a fascinating Bronze Age issue where Steve Rogers briefly gains super-strength. 🔔 Like, subscribe, and join the channel for member-only episodes, live streams, and bonus Show & Tell segments. ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOWBecome a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join📬 VIEWER MAILSend questions to:bronzeandmoderngods@gmail.com
