Absolute Batman #25 Jumps From $8.99 to $60 Overnight! Plus John Walker & Vixen Keys

Absolute Batman #25 just came out, and one variant is already moving fast. The open-order Clay Mann foil variant jumped from its $8.99 cover price to $60 eBay sales within 24 hours, while Lunar Distribution reportedly sold out of the foil cover. That’s despite an enormous 775,000-copy total print run across all versions of the issue. We break down what’s happening, why the manga-style cover is getting attention, and whether this is real demand or just release-week heat. Also this week on Bronze and Modern Gods: OLD FART RULE Captain America #323 – The first appearance of John Walker as Super-Patriot, years before he becomes Captain America and later U.S. Agent. Mark Gruenwald, Paul Neary and a Mike Zeck cover make this one of the more important Captain America books of 1986, yet raw copies remain surprisingly affordable. UNDERRATED BOOKS OF THE WEEK Minor Threats – Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum’s Dark Horse series looks at superhero life from the perspective of the small-time villains who usually get punched out in the first few pages. Action Comics #521 – The first published appearance of Vixen, with Gerry Conway, Curt Swan, Ross Andru and Dick Giordano involved. Raw copies can still be found around the $20–$30 range despite Vixen’s decades-long history across the Justice League, Suicide Squad and DC media.
