The comics came very well-packaged and protected. I was very careful opening the box. Who knows, there could be some very valuable comics in there?!
I'm not a comic collector, but my husband is and has collected them since he was a kid. He has a real appreciation for them, especially the artwork. He was very excited to check out this box and I was pretty curious too.
Star Wars #1 by Jason Aaron & John Cassidy - Marvel Comics
$4.99
Disney’s deal for the Star Wars franchise in 2012 brought the worlds most popular space adventure under the same umbrella as Disney’s other hot property – Marvel Comics. So it was only natural for the comic adaptation of the series to make its return to Marvel Comics in a BIG way. Set in the time between “A New Hope” and “Empire Strikes Back”, this issue has already sold out of its first AND second printings!
Harley Quinn #14 by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti & Bruce Timm - DC Comics
$2.99
Harley Quinn is everywhere right now, having become one of DC Comics’ most popular characters thanks to her appearances in comics, video games, animated shows, and of course the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. Included in this mystery box is the Flash Variant, drawn by none other than Harley Quinn’s co-creator, the legendary Bruce Timm!
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 by North & Henderson: Skottie Young Variant - DC Comics
$3.99
The quirky and upbeat Squirrel Girl, defeater of the likes of Doctor Doom, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Thanos gets her own ongoing series written by Ryan North, who you may know from Adventure Time and Dinosaur Comics. Squirrel Girl may be the most powerful person in the Marvel Universe! Featured here is the Skottie Young variant cover.
Ant-Man #1 by Nick Spencer & Ramon Rosanas Shrinking Variant - Marvel Comics
$4.99
Get ready for the blockbuster Ant-Man movie coming in 2015 starring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, by reading up on Scott Lang the successor to Hank Pym’s Ant-Man. This cover is very unique – it’s a “Shrinking Variant” by Ed McGuinness. Each issue is individually numbered, and features Ant-Man in various states of shrinkage! No two covers are alike!
Spider-Verse Team Up #3 by Various & Jamal Campbell: Signed Edition - Marvel Comics
$3.99
Spider-Verse has been capturing the hearts and minds of Spider-Fans since the event started a few months back. So many alternate universe Spideys have been introduced and this is a book that teams a bunch of them up! Up and coming Marvel cover artist Jamal Campbell was nice enough to sign these copies for ComicBoxer. We think you’ll be seeing a lot of him in the near future!
*Included is a Certificate of Authenticity.
Like I said, I'm not comic collector in the family, but I thought this box was awesome! My husband loved it too! This is what he had to say, "Comicboxer subscription is perfect for someone like me who's been out of the comic book world for a few years and who wants to get back into it."
I love that you get at least 5 comics and that one is a signed copy! It's hard to put an exact value on the box, but you could just go with the listed price and know that you're getting your money's worth. Since one copy is signed and that on online auction sites Edge of Spider-Verse #2 is currently worth about $95, I think it's safe to say that the other Spider-Verse comic has or will have a high value. ComicBoxer tries to strike a balance between introducing subscribers to great new stories, while also providing comics that will add value to any collection. If you're new to comics and don't know where to start, ComicBoxer can be your guide! ComicBoxer is perfect for the new and experienced collector, and also makes a great gift! It is targeted towards adult collectors at this time, but they are working on a kid-friendly box that will launch sometime this year. I can not wait for that to come out. I know my son would love it!
