Transactions from this week that sold for higher than the previous twelve-month average:

3.5 sold for $362 vs the average $351 (+3%)
3.0 sold for $395 vs the average $298 (+33%)
This is the second time in 2026 that X-Men #94 ranked on the Key Collector Comics Hot 10
The 9.0 sale for $1,750 was the highest amount paid for this Key Issue in grade this year
It wasn’t until 2018 when this issue in 9.0 began selling for $1,000+
2018 experienced a surge in demand for X-Men #94 with 56 sales of a 9.0, the most copies in that grade sold to date
Much of this increased interest could be attributed to the pending return of rights to the franchise to Marvel Studios from Fox which was completed in 2019
In the early 1990s, Marvel Entertainment was facing serious financial trouble and sold off film rights to several of its characters to stay afloat
The X-Men film rights were licensed to 20th Century Fox around 1993
Fox gained the rights to produce X-Men movies as long as they continued making films within a certain time period
Fox produced 13 films connected to the X-Men license between 2000 and 2020
The movies are as follows:
X-Men (2000)
X2: X-Men United (2003)
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
X-Men: First Class (2011)
The Wolverine (2013)
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Deadpool (2016)
Logan (2017)
Deadpool 2 (2018)
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
The New Mutants (2020)
The 13 films earned $6 billion dollars at the box office with Deadpool 1 and 2 responsible for about $1.5 billion
A new era of X-Men projects are expected to be introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe following 2027’s Secret Wars film
