Character to Watch: America Chavez

America has been on our radar for a while, but she really got our attention in May with a couple of big sales.

Conventional spec wisdom says that products move leading into a movie or show’s premiere, and that interest in the comics will dwindle once the latest project’s hype dies down.

In our case, we saw clicks on America books increase after the premiere. We moved an America 8 Bartel variant and an America 1 Chiang variant a good two weeks after the film premiered.

Our take: this was a “show and prove” or proof of concept situation. Folks wanted to see America on the big screen first. They like what they saw, and decided that it was worth buying investment grade books.

Who knows when we’ll see America again in the MCU. In the meantime, our course of action is clear: it’s time to re-up! We’ll have more America available for y’all ASAP.

For those that are late to the party, you can still grab an American #1 Coast to Coast variant from our web store.

Bottom line, we like where this American experiment is headed.
