It was a day for dead animals in comic books this week. First there was All-New Captain America #5…

$_57 (2)

And then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #44 came out as well… featuring… well.

The death of Donatello.

Will this be reversed somehow by issue fifty? Or are the foursome now a threesome forever? The market reacted. One seller sold four copies for $20 fast on eBay.

The 1:10 variant cover sold for $100.

This is the fastest price increase for a standard normal comic book after going on sale I have seen for some time – ot's even beaten Edge Of Spider-Verse. The market has decided this is the real thing….
