Sunday Speculation Station – 2nd August

In a new series of weekly posts, I take a look at thew upcoming new releases for the week ahead.

And yes, I am late…

I will pick a top five each week. This is purely based on my own personal speculative thoughts and not indicative of any guaranteed rise in value.

There will also be a spotlight on my favourite weekly variant cover!

Week Commencing 3rd August

1. Dark Knights Death Metal: Legends of The Dark Knights #1 – D.C Comics
   This is already heating up, with eBay sellers already asking up to £30. Featuring first full appearances of the Darkest Knight and Robin King, it was always going to take off in value.

   This variant cover features the kick ass Iron Cat armour that has been previewed since March.
