Housekeeping: We’re still going through that Marvel Holiday Sale to make it more digestible for you. We’ll forgive you if you looked at the display and decided it was just a bunch of random issues. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired (though that’s why we’re here). What the bulk of the holiday sales appears to be is $0.99 single issues. Not exclusively from the ’22-’24 time frame, but a lot from there. Some discounted newer issues, too. And some collected editions, which we touched on.
In this installment, we’re consolidating the $0.99 single issue titles. NOW… you might see $1.49 for issue #1 at times. <shrugs> You may also see collected editions of some of these. We’re not quite that far along yet. You may also find that the single issues are sometimes cheaper than a collected edition, especially if the collected edition is only 4-5 issues. We figure this is a big enough chunk of those titles for one sitting. There will be more
Here’s the list of the newly discounted omnibuses / Masterworks / Epic Collections from Monday, btw.
First, the official holiday sale link:
Marvel Holiday Sale – Ends 12/08
Titles With $0.99 Single Issues
Yes, we used to see single issues more often, didn’t we? This is going to be more of a quick and dirty, but we’ll annotate here and there when we think something is particularly good.
- Alien (’23) – Declan Shalvey / Andrea Broccardo

- Venom (’18) – Donny Cates / Ryan Stegman; Something that goes mostly unnoticed: The Maker was bouncing around for the first year or so of this title. Cates was the original architect of the current Ultimate Universe before his accident — maybe this was just his playing with the Maker and maybe it was the seeds for Ultimate Invasion
