Marvel Comics recently released the new comic craze: Avengers VS X-Men earlier this month and it has been a great success so far. Every comic book shop and online store seems to be sold out of the #0 and #1 issues.
Prices have also been steadily increasing on the second hand market. Could this be due to the upcoming Avengers movie? Maybe – but I think it is more than that. I think that comic book fans have been awaiting this series for years. A way to figure out who is ultimately better – Avengers or X-Men. The comic book involves the return of the Phoenix Force and the war between the Avengers and X-Men which emerges of a future Age of Ultron.
The entire series will only be 12 issues long and contains many GREAT variants that are driving collectors wild. I have a few different variants and can’t seem to get enough of them. I have been scouring local comic shops along with TFAW to make sure I get ALL the issues (and as many variants as possible). Issues #0 and #1 sold out so quickly that Marvel decided the publish a second printing and we all know what that means – The 1st print will quickly jump in price and become a collectible.

Avengers vs X-Men #2 – 1:200 Stegman Variant
Avengers vs X-Men #3
This does not even cover all the variants – As you can see there are a TON! The best ones to get your hands on are the 1:100 and 1:200 variants – especially the #0 and #1 comics.
Good luck!
Locally here, most shops still have plenty of first printings of #0 and #1. So much so, that I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get a copy of the second printings, and I have to wonder if the second printings might not ultimately be more scarce than the first.
I have been able to obtain the following locally or via ebay:
#0 – All three variants
#1 – all 3 common variants, the midtown comic/skottie young variant, the C2E2 variant, the 1:25, 1:100 and 1:200, and the retailer incentive one-per-store variant
#2 – all 3 common variants, the 1:25, 1:100 and 1:200 variants, and the diamond retailer summit variant
Thus far, I’ve spent about $650 and I still need the Hastings #1 variant, which is due out May 5th.
Mike,
You are one of the lucky ones. All the comic shops by me are sold out of #0 and #1 and they are selling for a lot more than face value on ebay.
I would hold onto those variants. When the movie is released these should increase in value!
Congrats on the recent scores.
Thanks for the comment
