In a recent interview on the Spanish YouTube channel Hobby Consolas, Tom Holland said: “I think at this point in time, we're being really open-minded about what the future looks like. I know that I have aspirations to bring Miles Morales into the universe, however that works out. You know, we've got a lot of work to do to bring that to life.”

This statement has since contributed to Ultimate Fallout #4 qualifying on the list for the sixth time in 2026

This is the seventh time in 2026 that the Green Goblin’s first appearance has ranked on the Hot 10 as The Amazing Spider-Man Key Issues continue to dominate this week’s Hot 10 and premium auction sales

There has been significant speculation regarding the identity of the main villain in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Tom Holland, often interviewed and previously criticized for revealing spoilers but notably more guarded in recent comments, said: “The villain that we have in this new movie, which is still very much a secret, is, I think, unlike anything we’ve seen in one of these movies before.”

This is not to suggest that the Green Goblin will appear alongside confirmed threats including Scorpion, Boomerang, Tombstone, Tarantula, Ramrod and the Hand

However, ongoing speculation continues to compound interest in this consistently active series

LARRY’S LIMITED EDITION 9.8 sold for $1,100 [$1,046 in 2025] +5%

LARRY’S LIMITED EDITION 9.0 sold for $446 [$300 in Nov] +49This marks the 10th week in 2026 that Invincible #1 has qualified for the Key Collector Comics Hot 10

It was just three weeks ago that we reported Invincible #1 in CGC 9.8 crossing the $7,000 threshold for the first time

Since then, 9.8 copies have sold above $7,000 five times

The first half of June saw no 9.8 sales, but following renewed momentum tied to the Invincible season 6 announcement ahead of season 5, the book produced an $8,000 sale on June 19 and a $9,500 sale on June 26

Currently, there is very little inventory of 9.8s with just four listed for sale on eBay at the following prices: $12,500 or best offer with a CGC custom label

$12,600 Buy It Now

$14,500 or best offer

$16,000 or best offer PSA graded

Inventory remains extremely limited, and none of these listings are meaningfully comped against recent realized sales

Notably, the most recent 9.8 sales have closed at asking price despite “best offer” listing

This is the eleventh time in 2026 that Absolute Batman #1 has ranked on the Hot 10 and the third time it has claimed the top spot this year

The series continues to strike while the iron is hot with such regularity, you'd think DC had a blacksmith on staff with last week’s big announcement that Absolute Batman adapted for an animated series

This serves as a testament to the growing acceptance of animated adaptations aimed at adults, with both the first and second place books on this week's list generating massive dollars digitally, physically and in secondary markets

An Absolute Batman animated series is not only a logical project, it demonstrates DC's willingness to capitalize on a hot property while momentum is at its peak rather than allowing another innovative concept to fade into obscurity

The secondary market's overwhelming reaction is justified by a perfect trifecta: an exceptionally hot comic book property, Warner Bros.' proven track record with Batman in animation and an audience eager for faithful comic adaptations led by the right creative team, with writer Scott Snyder already announced as showrunner

The numbers reinforce the excitement

Since the announcement, ungraded copies of cover A have surpassed $300 after selling for approximately $180 beforehand

CGC 9.8 copies, which had consistently sold for around $300 throughout the year, are now regularly selling between $500 and $600

Another key performance indicator is the number of CGC 9.8 sales in 2026 compared to all of 2025

As of June 29, 980 copies have sold this year versus 780 during all of 2025

More than 70 CGC 9.8 copies sold in the four days following the announcement of the animated series

June alone finished with 175 CGC 9.8 sales, surpassing last month’s huge 150 units sold

Nothing comes remotely close to the dominance of Absolute Batman #1 Cover A on eBay compared to even the most popular and readily available modern comics

The only book that may rival its annual CGC 9.8 sales volume is X-Men #1 (1991), which recorded 1,335 sales, though that figure combines all four connecting covers of one of the highest-selling comic books ever published, with more than eight million copies reportedly printed

There are 7,700 copies of Absolute Batman #1 Cover A graded CGC 9.8 compared to 16,300 copies of X-Men #1, highlighting a significantly high concentration of grading for Absolute Batman

Even so, Absolute Batman #1 may surpass 1,335 CGC 9.8 sales this year without factoring in any of its nearly 100 variant and retailer-exclusive covers

Ultimately, all of this points to a simple truth: the hobby responds to quality and remains eager to support creative ventures that prioritize telling the best story possible
