Comics Collectibles Guide: Thor Runs, Supergirl CGC, Catwoman Variant, and One Tool Outlier

A shopper-focused guide to four listed items, comparing comic-focused picks by character, format, and price while calling out the radiator cleaning wand as the clear non-comics outlier.

Last updated Jul 16

Buying comics collectibles is often a balancing act between character focus, format, cover appeal, and how much of your budget you want tied up in one item. In this group, three choices are directly tied to comics-Thor, Supergirl, and Catwoman-while one item is a practical cleaning tool that sits outside the comics collectibles lane. The right pick depends on whether you want a larger Marvel run, a slabbed Supergirl issue, a low-entry DC variant, or simply need the non-comic tool for a separate purpose.

Quick take

  • Best for a larger Thor-focused buy: Mortal Thor (2025) #1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Marvel Comics COVER SELECT, because the title and description center on multiple issue and variant choices.
  • Best for a slab-oriented Supergirl collectible: Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow #1 CGC 9.8 1st Print Bilquis Evely Cover Tom King, with Tom King, Bilquis Evely, Supergirl, and first-printing language all in the item details.
  • Best for a low-entry DC single issue: Catwoman #89 Cover E Homare Swimsuit Card Stock Variant, especially if the Homare swimsuit card stock variant wording is the draw.
  • Best treated as an outlier: 47" & 24" Radiator Cleaning Wand, 8-Piece Set- 4500 PSI Stainless Steel Dual Wat, which is a cleaning accessory rather than a comics collectible.

Listed price comparison

ItemListed pricePrice bar
Catwoman #89 Cover E Homare Swimsuit Card Stock VariantUSD 4.74
47" & 24" Radiator Cleaning Wand, 8-Piece Set- 4500 PSI Stainless Steel Dual WatUSD 61.87
Mortal Thor (2025) #1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Marvel Comics COVER SELECTUSD 79.88
Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow #1 CGC 9.8 1st Print Bilquis Evely Cover Tom KingUSD 124.00

The spread runs from $4.74 to $124, so the highest listed item is far above the lowest. That makes this less of a simple same-type comparison and more of a decision between a single inexpensive variant, a broader Thor selection, a CGC-labeled Supergirl issue, and a non-comics utility item.

Decision matrix

Choose the Thor item if: you want Marvel, Thor Odinson, Modern Age superhero material, and the appeal of a title that names issues #1 through #12 alongside cover selection language. The artist and writer names Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry also make it easier to match the item to a specific creative direction.

Choose the Supergirl item if: you are prioritizing a single DC superhero issue with CGC 9.8 in the title, first print wording, and creators Tom King and Bilquis Evely. It also names Kara Zor-El and Supergirl, which keeps the character focus very clear.

Choose the Catwoman item if: you want the lowest listed cost in the group and a specific Cover E Homare swimsuit card stock variant. The title is straightforward, and the item is tied to DC Comics and Catwoman.

Choose the radiator wand only if: your real need is cleaning equipment rather than comics collectibles. Its title and description focus on radiator cleaning, wand lengths, an 8-piece set, and pressure-washer-related use, so it should not be weighed as a comic.

Concise product notes

Mortal Thor (2025) #1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Marvel Comics COVER SELECT

This is the broadest comics-focused option here for shoppers who want Thor material rather than one isolated single issue. The title names Mortal Thor from 2025 and points to issues #1 through #12, while the description includes multiple book and variant-set options such as Thor arcs, #1 variant sets, foil variant wording, and named cover variants. Al Ewing, Pasqual Ferry, Thor Odinson, Alex Ross, Modern Age, superheroes, English, and 2025 all help define the lane. The main limitation is that "COVER SELECT" and the many options make it a less simple purchase to interpret than a single clearly named issue.

47" & 24" Radiator Cleaning Wand, 8-Piece Set- 4500 PSI Stainless Steel Dual Wat

This item has a clear practical use case, but it is not a comics collectibles pick. The title and description revolve around a radiator cleaning wand set, with 47-inch and 24-inch wand lengths, an 8-piece setup, 4500 PSI language, stainless steel wording, and pressure-washer accessory use. If you are shopping for garage or vehicle-cleaning equipment at the same time, it may belong in a different comparison. For a comics collectibles buyer, the limitation is decisive: it has no character, comic issue, artist, writer, cover, era, or superhero attribute connecting it to the comic items around it.

Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow #1 CGC 9.8 1st Print Bilquis Evely Cover Tom King

This is the most slab-oriented comics collectible in the group, and it is also the highest listed price. The title highlights Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, CGC 9.8, first print, Bilquis Evely cover, and Tom King. The attributes add Kara Zor-El, Supergirl, Modern Age, superheroes, first printing, first character appearance, key issue, A Cover, and single-issue format. That combination makes it the clearest choice for someone centered on this Supergirl series and its named creators. The tradeoff is cost: at USD 124.00, it takes a much larger budget share than the other comic picks here.

Catwoman #89 Cover E Homare Swimsuit Card Stock Variant

Catwoman #89 Cover E Homare Swimsuit Card Stock Variant is the simplest low-entry comics choice in this set. It is tied to DC Comics, Catwoman, and a specific Homare swimsuit card stock variant, with the description referencing Selina, Alley Town, Black Mask, and "Tick Tick Boom." Ron's Comic Closet is named in the item text, which gives this entry a more shop-style presentation than the shorter Supergirl description. The limitation is that it is a single issue with fewer creator, era, genre, and format details listed than the Thor and Supergirl items, so it is best for shoppers already drawn to this exact cover variant.

Final recommendation

For a comics collectibles shopper, the first decision is whether you want one standout issue or a wider character run. If the goal is a larger Marvel-centered buy, Mortal Thor (2025) #1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Marvel Comics COVER SELECT is the most expansive comic option because it names many Thor issues and variants, plus Al Ewing, Pasqual Ferry, Thor Odinson, and Alex Ross.

If you want the most clearly collectible single Supergirl issue in this group, Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow #1 CGC 9.8 1st Print Bilquis Evely Cover Tom King is the strongest fit because its title and attributes combine CGC 9.8, first print language, Tom King, Bilquis Evely, Kara Zor-El, and key issue wording.

If you mainly want the lowest-cost comic entry, Catwoman #89 Cover E Homare Swimsuit Card Stock Variant is the obvious pick at USD 4.74. It is far below the highest listed item, and its appeal is concentrated around Catwoman, Cover E, Homare, and card stock variant wording.

The 47" & 24" Radiator Cleaning Wand, 8-Piece Set- 4500 PSI Stainless Steel Dual Wat should be set aside for a separate tool-shopping decision. It may be useful for its own category, but among comics collectibles, it does not compete with Thor, Supergirl, or Catwoman on character, issue, creator, or cover interest.
