[SPEAKER_00]: Marvel ends Ultra Mad, new 52 Catwoman gets an omnibus, near mint copy of Superman No.
[SPEAKER_00]: 1 hits auction.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is comic book club news for November 4, 2025.
[SPEAKER_00]: Marvel is consciously uncoupling from its association with Ultraman with a one-shot title the fall of Ultraman hitting stores next year.
[SPEAKER_00]: First, kicking off in 2020 with the rise of Ultraman, the stories have continued through multiple mini-series including a crossover with the Avengers.
[SPEAKER_00]: But now the collabo with Super IA Productions is DUNZO.
[SPEAKER_00]: The one shot is written by Kyle Higgins and Matt Groome with Art by David Tinto.
[SPEAKER_00]: And as Groome teased via press release, this is how they outlined the end of the saga way back when they first pitched the series to Marvel.
[SPEAKER_00]: In it, Ultra Man and Teen get a glimpse of a future without Ultra Man, and have to decide whether to fall that path or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess they do based on the title, but we'll see.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fall of Ultra Man number one hit stores on February 11, 20, 26.
[SPEAKER_00]: DC's new 52 catwoman is getting an omnibus.
[SPEAKER_00]: For ICV2, the 736 page hardcover will include 26 issues of the titular run that kicked off in 2011, as well as a catwoman annual Batman and Catwoman number 22, Batman, the Dark Night 23.4, and a story from the new 52 Valentine's Day special young romance.
[SPEAKER_00]: The original run was written by Judd Winink with Art by Gillum March, and it drew a fair amount of controversy for the first issue after an article on comics alliance that took both the first issues of Catwoman and Red Hood in the Outlaws to task for their over-sexualization of female characters.
[SPEAKER_00]: Particularly a rooftop sexy that ended Catwoman Number 1, between Batman and Catwoman that was slammed for being fan service.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see how you feel about
[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: A near-mind copy of Superman No.
[SPEAKER_00]: 1 is about to hit auction with the possibility of being one of the biggest comic book sales of all time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Burblading cool, the issue is found by three brothers looking through their mom's belongings of the attic.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alongside other books, this one was graded 9.0 for the CGC, making it the highest graded copy of Superman No.
[SPEAKER_00]: 1 on record.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of note, perhaps this is not the debut of Superman.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was an action comics number one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Super bad number one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead, came out a year later in 1939 and collected the first four issues of action comics alongside other material.
[SPEAKER_00]: Previously, an 8.5-graded copy of action comics number one sold for $6 million last year, while an at the time created 8.0 copy of Super bad number one, which has since been upgraded to 8.5, sold for $5.3 million in 2022.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've got a few mill hanging around, the proxy bidding is open now on Heritage Auctions until November 20, with the auction held in New York City from November 20 through November 22.
[SPEAKER_00]: For a comic book club news, I'm Alex Zellman, and totally coincidentally, does anybody have $6 million or can borrow Lebedo?
