Comic books are cool to read, but collectors sometimes pay millions of dollars (literally) to buy a very rare issue. For example, the first issue of Action Comics was sold for $3.2 million. In general, first appearances are usually the most valuable. While you cannot turn back time to obtain the comics that are really expensive now, you can still buy some comic books today that have the potential to make you rich in the future. Check out our insight below.

Justice League: Dark has been one of the most popular DC comics of 2018 and they are setting a good pace in 2019 as well. In the 7th issue, some characters – The Soup, The Rip and The Offspring will make their (partially) 1st appearance.
First rule of magic: things can always get worse! Man-Bat learns that the hard way when he plays narrator and chronicles the nightmarish menagerie known as the Otherkind—horrific, monstrous entities such as “the Soup,” “the Rip” and “the Offspring”—that burst through the Sphere of Gods and invaded Earth. The JLD soon realize they’re no match for an invading horde of hellspawn, and to have any kind of chance, they’ll have to go down a darker path. But how much darker can this team get before they become monsters themselves?

THE ALL-NEW SECRET AVENGERS! It’s hard to run the Avengers without a support staff. And for a team as wild, weird and insanely powerful as this new Avengers squad, just one Jarvis would never do.
