Except the DC side of that equation has seen nowhere near the same amount of exposure both within the comic books themselves and in the world outside of them. 

 

The answer to the question posed in the original post is Edge of Spider-verse 2. Things get squirrelly with first appearances of new characters these days because of all the variants and because everything is slabbed for preservation even before a book can be recognized as a key by the market. 

cough cough BA12 cough

I think EOSV2 is a no brainer as well, but like I said earlier, even though Im POSITIVE it will double, maybe even triple in the near future, it still is a 3 year old book and hasnt been through the turmoils of decades worth of collecting proving it to be a bullet proof sustainable investment.

I would say Lobo and Deathstroke are the Wolverine and Punisher of the DC Universe, and both first appearances are undervalued.

Lobo is like one of the coolest characters that DC ever came up with.  As soon as they get the right actor to play him like you said than Omega Men #3 will skyrocket!

Lobo seems to me like it would be any action/sci-fi movie writer dream come true. Such a fun character to play around with. I would love to see an off the wall twisted sci-fi action movie with him. With tons of R rated scenes, screaming distorted oscillators, aliens vs mutants head bashing action scenes and a pair of protruding breasts thrown in for good measure.

Very well thought out post.

With the growing MARVEL movie China market this first appearance could be huge!

 

This book is a no brainer. Not sure it will ever get to IH181 status but its still a buyers market with this book

I don't know about 2040 but 2039 this will be the book for sure:

Limited appeal. Too arthouse and highbrow.

Yeah but a He-Man comic book would never burn hot like an IH181

I agree cause I never caught onto Heman growing up in the 80s, but always thought it was "neat" or a cool idea. But he does go up against supes in his first appearance. I just don't see Lobo catching a good movie star to play the role. Would he fight supes? Cause I don't see the current superman jiving with a character like Lobo. He would have to be in a solo story first imo

Def a solo movie. 

And no, they shouldn't cast a well known actor for Lobo. They need to go wth personality here. 

Think about how Marvel back in the day cast Lou Ferrigno for Hulk. Lou wasn't acting here, but his personality, and fitness made him the Hulk. To me, Lou will always be the ultimate Hulk. 

The same can be said about Hugh. He wasn't a big movie star when they cast him to play wolverine. But he just fit the bill perfectly. To many, Hugh Jackman IS wolverine

Def make it a solo movie, no big budget, killer soundtrack.. funny as hell.. kinda like Deadpool meets 300

The most confusing thing to me about IH181 is that over the past few years when prices kept rising it was happening right when hugh jackman retired his character.  No matter how they try to bring wolverine back, it is never going to surpass jackman's wolverine.  Which will directly affect the demand for the book over the long term.  Bad time to invest.

Just noticed the absence of a vital feature... space dolphins.
