How would you explain the increase in prices on HOS? I am not saying that is book is not a key nor that is a great book, but there hasn't been anything great done with Swamp Thing since the Alan Moore run. Prices on both books were stagnant for years until movie/tv shows rumors were introduced. 

I would suggest that the rise of the HOS has been fueled by a couple of reasons:

1.  Passing of Wrightson, probably his most recognized cover, brought more interest to the book.  Same, at a great degree, that happened when Trimpe passed etc...  the current comic market is at a spot that even the smallest interest in fuels books for years.  I dont collect DC, but I LOVE this cover.  The color, the feel of classic art, etc...

2.  The middle aged collector, those who remember growing up with the original Swamp Thing movie, now are coming into their largest income potential, extra money is plentiful, sending bronze books to all time highs. Happening across the bronze age, people buy nostalgia (GPK,GI Joes, etc).

3.  I can personally attest that trying to find this book in higher grades has been extremely hard.  I have bought numerous copies and always have disappointed at the subsequent assigned grade.  Dark cover is a grade killer.  Page quality is always low on this book.  I think this is the biggest factor, easily propels higher grades due to perceived scarcity.  Past ebay sales show ONLY 7 books OVER 8.0 have been sold in the last 5 months!!!!  Supply just isnt there....

4.  As a collector, THIS is the classic DC bronze aged must own book.  What other DC character that has been introduced in the bronze age had such a cult following?  Not saying importance to the DCU but just staying power.  I cant think of any....

would love to know what you think about this thesis

IMHO HOS got a very large spec bump due to the Justice League Dark movie, while rare in grade not sure how much legit interest there is in the book. Obviously, the ASM got a large bump due to the Punisher show but he has been a popular character for a long time. I would wait to purchase either until the hype cools on both. 

Do you think these books are fueled by hype?  I would suggest that these books are fairly valued in a market that has on average has increased.   This books havent been moved by hype at all.  IF the Punisher gets introduced into an MCU movie, that will be the point that hype hits.  Look at values of other Netflix show characters, they have increased also, has nothing to do with hype.  More to do with introducing characters to a whole new audience.  HOS isnt hype ether, it is a classic cover done by an artist that has recently passed.  It is a dark cover that is hard to find in higher grades.  HOS cover is one of those books that "speaks" to marvel and dc collectors.  Books are fairly valued to me. 

As far as OP question, my heart goes with the HOS but the gambler in me says ASM.  The popularity of the punisher has to pique the interest of the masterminds behind the MCU movies.  Why not introduce him to the movies?  Current line up is aging, punisher is a more relatable character.  Problem is, you may be waiting a long time before he hits the big screen since they have planned so far in advance....   Then again, wouldnt it be a cool cameo if Punisher popped up in a Spidey movie???

I personally would rather have a HOS due to relative scarcity, classic cover, and just a cool character.  But I dont expect that book to have a giant jump anytime.  Im fine with a slow and steady trajectory.  Hopefully, the Swamp Thing series launching next year will due the character justice.

Saw this with "Searching" on a double feature night.  Searching was good, Filming style may not be for all, but worked well in this film.

Predator was terrible.  It is such a shame that a movie with such a following can be made so badly.  The characters were so unbelievably bad, like watching a failed casting of the A team.  10 minutes into the movie I was already thinking it was a waste of time, most of the time that judgement gets held until the end of a movie.  Dont get me wrong, I am not a movie snob, but Predator is atrocious.  Sadly, this movie shouldnt have been made.

What do you guys think about FF5 and ASM 14? Think those will take a hit after the movies?

I think youll be waiting a long time before FF5 hits the theaters.  But when it does, yes, the comic may take a small hit.  Unlike most of the other villains in the MCU Doom has staying power, so I wouldnt expect it to come down as drastic as some.

Highest signed by R Fradon, co creator of many dc characters.  Irreplaceable to me

Love the Doom!

Here is a question for some of the older collectors....  has there been major bubble/crashes in comic book prices in the past?  

From what ive seen it been a steady increase with a recent explosion in prices, never a tumble though. 

Thank you so much for all the offers.  

The best I can do on the FF5 is 3500.00 w/o fees

FF4 350.00
