Suicide Squad for Fun
Read the story of the “new” Suicide Squad from the New 52 in Trade Paperback Form. Volume One will get you started and save you some $$$.
Following the Movies-Comics-Cash idea, the best chance to cash in is on first appearances. Let’s take a look. Take a look for these Suicide Squad Movie Comic Tie-ins on E-Bay.
The Joker – The iconic Batman villain makes his first appearance in none other than Batman #1
Deadshot – Deadshot made his true first appearance way back in Batman #59. The character has gone through many iterations, but if you want the first, this is it.
Rick Flag – Again, way back in Brave and the Bold 25 (along with the original Suicide Squad, see below)
Harley Quinn – Harley comic books are on fire even though this character really made her first appearance in a tv show. First comic book appearance? Batman Adventures #12
Boomerang – Go back to the Silver Age to find this character’s first appearance in Flash #117
Enchantress – Again a character with a very complicated past, but appeared for the first time in Strange Adventures #187
and don’t forget
Amanda Waller – Legends #1 (1986). Amanda is in charge of this team and fortunately is found in a relatively new comic book.
Make sure you keep an eye on Suicide Squad appearances. The true first appearance is in Brave and the Bold 25, then again in Legends #3 (1987). Suicide Squad also appeared Secret Origins (vol. 2) #14. It looks like the movie will be true to the reboot in DC’s New 52.

A great way is to revisit the original Marvel Star Wars comics but after years of laying dormant in price they are really starting to move. The next best thing? Fortunately Marvel is releasing a hardcover deluxe Omnibus edition collecting issues 1-44 and Annual 1 of the series. Be among the first to pick this up through a discounted pre-release on Amazon.
Would you rather watch the movies in HD glory? How about a Star Wars marathon of the complete Saga, episodes 1-6 on Blu-Ray?
Star Wars The Force Awakens – For Profit!
Star Wars comic book values have been dormant for years, but buzz about the new movie has finally started to move prices. We don’t know if any characters from the comics will be included in the new movie so it looks like most people have been concentrating on Star Wars #1, both the regular price edition and the 35 cent price variant (make sure you know how to spot an authentic 35 cent variant – not the reprint. I cover it in the Star Wars 1 Investment Survey). The best place to find Star Wars #1 issues? E-bay. Follow the link below.
