A modern Captain America book is suddenly getting serious heat.

CAPTAIN AMERICA Vol. 12 #1 is up 224% in copies sold this week after David Colton was revealed as Marvel’s new Miracleman. The issue features Colton’s first appearance, the first team appearance of Mendoza and Slate as the Howling Commandos, and the debut of Captain America’s new stealth suit. Raw copies are already selling around $20.

25 YEAR RULE

The Dark Knight Strikes Again #1 – Frank Miller’s long-awaited sequel to THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS was the best-selling comic of 2001, with roughly 187,000 copies ordered by comic shops. Twenty-five years later, raw copies can still be found for around $5 to $10, and even CGC 9.8s remain surprisingly affordable.

UNDERRATED BOOKS OF THE WEEK

Machine Man #1 – A 1978 Marvel #1 written and drawn by Jack Kirby that can still be found for around $10 raw. Kirby launched Aaron Stack’s solo series, and Steve Ditko later took over the artwork, giving the run an incredible creative pedigree for the price.

Marvel Mangaverse: Arcane Avengers #1 – Marvel returns to the Mangaverse 25 years later with a supernatural Avengers team led by a very different version of Bucky Barnes, complete with an arm made from Yggdrasil and a whole lot of manga-inspired weirdness.
