This is It – The Beginning of the Best Year Ever – Wednesday,  January 7th, 2026

Well, this may be my last entry into this journal, as I will be heading down to the local recruitment center to see if they will take someone over 65 for the Navy Seals. I’m gonna go get some Heavy Crude on my flippers! What a world. What a country!

Only a couple of Image Comics, but Marvel and DC hit 2026 running with a normal amount, but generally on the small side of the averages, and average book lot. I guess if you are liking DC’s “Treasury Facsimile” line, this week sees the titanic battle between Superman and Spider-Man, which is the most valuable original Treasury (or LCE of FFE) published by either of them back in the 70’s, so a bargain at $19.99! Wow, I just noticed there is not a single DC Absolute reprint of any kind on this list. Absolutely amazing. And I kind of want to see what a Pizza Detective does.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millennium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.
