    This $90 INDIE Comic Might Be FAKE Heat?! | Punisher #1 & Morituri Deep Dive

    Yes… we know. The episode is a day late. We regret nothing except our concept of time. 😅 This week we dig into a brand-new release already selling for crazy prices - D’ORC #1. Is it genuine demand, speculative frenzy, or straight-up funny business? Then we rewind to 1986, when The Punisher #1 proved comics were ready for darker, grittier heroes and helped reshape an entire decade of storytelling. Plus underrated picks you should NOT be ignoring: • A scarce Golden Age Western sleeper • The brilliantly bleak Strikeforce: Morituri #1 - superheroes with an expiration date Viewer mail, show & tell, and the usual collector chaos included.

    This week on Bronze & Modern Gods, we dig into one of the most important turning points in X-Men history! The Old Fart Rule kicks off with Uncanny X-Men #210 (1986) — the opening chapter of Mutant Massacre, the storyline that helped define the modern multi-title crossover and permanently darkened the tone of Marvel’s mutant books. We also break down a major market mover: • Mister Miracle #1 (1971) — first appearance of Scott Free and Oberon — seeing a massive spike in sales fueled by news of an upcoming animated series in development for HBO. Plus, our Underrated Books of the Week: • The Invaders #8 (1976) — WWII horror, Baron Blood, and why this Bronze Age sleeper still flies under the radar • Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life #1 (2004) — the indie comic that launched a cultural phenomenonIf you love key issues, smart speculation, and comics history with perspective, this one’s for you.

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

    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

    What’s REALLY Going On With Amazing Fantasy #15 on eBay? Plus Watchmen #1 & Blind Bag Madness

    Is Marvel’s Ultimate Endgame #1 blind bag a future key - or a disaster waiting to happen? This week we dig into early reports of damaged copies, why some stores are already seeing uneven quality, and how higher-grade examples could separate themselves from the pack. We also tackle eBay scammers, crack open viewer mail, and share a little Show & Tell. For our Old Fart Rule, we rewind to 1986 and revisit Watchmen #1, the issue that redefined superhero comics and helped usher in the Modern Age. From its lasting cultural impact to current collector prices, we break down why this book still matters nearly four decades later. Plus, in Underrated Books of the Week, we spotlight: Bloodstone #1 (2001) - the ahead-of-its-time debut of Elsa Bloodstone Marvel Premiere #57 (1980) - the first U.S. comic book appearance of Doctor Who in the Marvel line All that, market talk, collector insight, and plenty of old-school perspective — let’s get into it.⭐ 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

    The Spider-Man Black Suit Book Nobody Talks About (Prices Are Jumping)

    One overlooked Bronze Age Spider-Man issue just woke up the market - and it’s not the one everyone usually talks about. This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we break down Marvel Team-Up #141, the second appearance of Spider-Man’s black costume, which is suddenly surging as collectors revisit the real publication timeline. With copies jumping in sales and high-grade raws hitting new highs, we explain why this book matters, and why it’s been ignored for decades. Old Fart Rule World’s Finest Comics #322, the penultimate issue of a title that ran since 1941. Released during Crisis on Infinite Earths, it quietly closes the door on the classic Superman/Batman era and signals DC’s coming reinvention. Underrated Books of the Week • Teen Titans #75 — the elusive Adam Hughes 1:25 variant that has become a modern collector grail. • Our Love Story #5 — featuring a rare Jim Steranko romance story, proving that some of the most interesting Silver Age art lives far outside superhero books.
