Comics Collectibles: Choose a Blind Bag, Selected Cover, Multi-Issue Lot, or Signed Ashcan

Choose among four comics collectibles by prioritizing entry price, cover selection, a five-bag Terminal lot with an incentive variant, or a double-signed Terminal ashcan with an Acceptable condition mark.

Last updated Aug 1, 2026

Comics collectibles can pose a simple but important choice: do you want the low listed price of a single blind-bag issue, the control of choosing a cover, a larger blind-bag lot, or a signed ashcan? These four options all center on modern issue #1 comics, but their formats and condition labels point to very different collecting priorities.

Quick take

The listed prices span from $14.99 to $100. QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA PRE-SALE 7/29 is the low-price single-issue route. Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover is for collectors who want an expressly selectable cover. TERMINAL 1 BLIND BAG (UNOPEN) LOT OF 5 PLUS 1:25 INCENTIVE VARIANT shifts the focus to a five-bag lot plus an incentive variant. Terminal #1 Ashcan Double Signed David Finch and Robert Kirkham emphasizes its ashcan format and double-signed title, with condition marked Acceptable.

Decision matrix

  • Start with the lowest listed price: Go for the Queen in Black swimsuit-variant blind bag.
  • Want a specific Queen in Black cover rather than a blind-bag presentation: Pick the cover-selection Queen in Black issue.
  • Prioritize a larger Terminal #1 quantity: The unopened five-bag Terminal lot is the clear match.
  • Collect for the signed ashcan framing: The double-signed Terminal #1 ashcan is the relevant option, provided the Acceptable condition designation fits your collecting preferences.

Product notes

QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA PRE-SALE 7/29

This is the natural fit for someone seeking a modern, brand-new superhero single issue at the lowest listed price of the four. The title identifies a David Nakayama swimsuit variant, and the comic is marked issue #1, English language, and general audience. Its story setup places Hela of Asgard and Knull's forces in conflict, with the Son of Venom caught in the middle, giving the issue a cosmic symbiote focus. The limitation is built into the title: it is a blind-bag exclusive and carries a pre-sale 7/29 label rather than presenting itself as a selected-cover issue.

Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover

Collectors who want the Queen in Black #1 premise but prefer an explicitly selected cover should focus here. The description states that the blind-bag-exclusive covers have been removed from the bag and allows a cover choice, making cover preference the central appeal. It is marked Brand New, boarded, English language, and published by Marvel, while remaining a Modern Age single issue. Its listed price sits above both the Queen in Black swimsuit-variant issue and the Terminal blind-bag lot. That makes most sense when the cover-selection format matters more than pursuing an unopened blind bag.

TERMINAL 1 BLIND BAG (UNOPEN) LOT OF 5 PLUS 1:25 INCENTIVE VARIANT

The Terminal lot is aimed at collectors who want a broader issue #1 grouping instead of one individual comic. Its title and description specify five unopened blind bags plus a 1:25 incentive variant, and it is identified as a Brand New, English-language Image Comics release from 2026. Robert Kirkman is named as artist/writer, giving the listing a direct creator reference. The trade-off is format: the offer is centered on an unopened-bag lot, unlike the other Queen in Black listing's explicitly named cover-picking approach. Choose it when the multi-bag Terminal format is the primary draw.

Terminal #1 Ashcan Double Signed David Finch and Robert Kirkham

This Terminal #1 entry serves a more specific collecting angle: its title calls out an ashcan and double signatures from David Finch and Robert Kirkham. It is listed as a Modern Age, English-language single issue from 2026, with David Finch also named as cover artist. Among these four, it carries the highest listed price, so the ashcan and double-signed framing need to be the reasons for selecting it. The key limitation is condition, which is marked Acceptable rather than Brand New. That designation makes it distinct from the other three comics, all of which are marked Brand New.

Final recommendation by use case

For a straightforward low-price Queen in Black issue, choose QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA PRE-SALE 7/29. For control over the Queen in Black cover, choose Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover. For the five-bag Terminal #1 format and 1:25 incentive variant, choose TERMINAL 1 BLIND BAG (UNOPEN) LOT OF 5 PLUS 1:25 INCENTIVE VARIANT. Reserve Terminal #1 Ashcan Double Signed David Finch and Robert Kirkham for an ashcan-and-signature-focused collection that accommodates its Acceptable condition mark.
