Expected Value and Investment Trends
The Jae Lee Variant is poised for strong growth. The Chaos! Comics revival through Coffin Comics and the cult popularity of Lady Death and Evil Ernie fuel demand for limited variants. Chaos! event comics have appreciated 8–12% annually, and with 2025 conventions like C2E2 boosting visibility, NM copies could reach $80–$150 by mid-2026. Rumored Lady Death media projects, such as an animated series, could further spike interest, potentially pushing high-grade copies to $200–$350. The COA and Jae Lee’s signature appeal (as seen in signed variants like Sentry #1 at $100+) add significant value.
