There will be a new player in comic book auctions soon.
Runnemede, N.J.-based Goldin Auctions — the collectible industry’s fastest-growing auction house with $25 million in sales last year — is launching a comic division and is seeking a knowledgeable and motivated individual with industry experience to be its consignment director and category manager.

Studios, ONI Press, Titan Comics, Valiant Entertainment and Viz Media.

Up next on the comic book movie hit list is Deadpool, a Marvel-inspired creation arriving on Feb. 12 that you’ve already probably seen a commercial for a few times here and there. (As long as you have a pulse … or a TV.)
Deadpool is a wise-ass who arrived in the Marvel universe in February 1991 via The New Mutants No. 98. That $1 book will cost you more now but the Rob Liefeld creation has many other appearances out there for fans to chase in all those years since.
His second appearance comes in X-Force No. 2 — everybody has X-Force, right? (Even Buzz has at least a dozen No. 2’s in storage somewhere to go with 30-some first issues … )
Since we’re close to the arrival, Buzz figured it was time for a vote — check out the latest trailer below and then tell us what you’ll do.

If you’re a baseball fan, you know the comic book references were thick this year with the National League champion New York Mets.
Those things happen when you have Thor, Captain America and The Dark Knight all on one team.
But, we need to know, do you own their autographs?
Grumpy Cat is one of those things that, well, you either get or you don’t.
How else do you explain a cat with a few hundred-thousand Twitter followers, 8.2 million Facebook fans, countless YouTube hits and even more memes?
Don’t answer that — just consider that Grumpy Cat isn’t just an Interwebs force. Grumpy Cat sells comic books, too.
Mile High Comics is one of the biggest sellers of comic books and related memorabilia in the United States and it found itself in the news this week for reasons not related to the latest books or movies based on books.
Mile High President Chuck Rozanski writes a weekly email/newsletter where he often discusses some of the inner workings of his Denver, Colo.-based operation that might interest collectors or entrepreneurs while also presenting that week’s sales and new special issues.
This week, it was to explain how Denver’s real estate boom — a development thanks to the legalization of marijuana in the state and high demand for warehouses to grow the plants legally — gave him no choice but to sell one of his company’s buildings.
