From day one, the CU set out to do things differently: ◆ Lower seller costs with better tracking and collector credits ◆ The first free want-list system from a hosting platform ◆ Fundraising shows and community giveaways ◆ Artist-focused events like Artapalooza & Split Panels in partnership with Cliff of @tn_comic_collector ◆ Talk shows, collector spotlights, and real community connection ◆ Inexpensive consignments through our partners @the_Comicbok_Newsstand Comics bring us together. The community keeps us here. Anti-Con is our continued mission to break the mold and pack as much convention energy as possible into Instagram Live.

Aaron from @aonescomicstash is live tonight on the CU with @caits.comics Welcome Aaron back with a pile of X-Men, a box of Mark Jewelers, AND many more Marvel and DC keys you’ll love. We start up at 7:30pm EST with one of your favorite sellers and one of your favorite hosts! Let’s go! #igcomicbookfamily #jointhemovement

We asked Andrew if @_goldstandardcollectibles to introduce himself and tell us what he does outside of comics. It’s always nice to hear more about the people we spend so much time with online. So many of our sellers only sell part-time and have other careers. Thanks to Andrew for spending a little time with us last night and for continuing our series, CU Legends, introducing everyone to the people often behind the camera. For every story in the comics, there’s one about the collector. #culegends

Tonight, Jered from @j_and_l_comics makes a rare Wednesday appearance in the early slot! Check out the raws and slabs Jered is bringing in! He has the typical big keys for a J and L show but a massive bronze horror collection this week for those fans! Join us from 7-8:30pm EST tonight!

Get some at my first show this Wednesday with @thecomicunderground at 9 eastern / 6 pacific.

Come join me with @thecomicunderground for another show Tuesday @ 0830pm eastern. Little bit of everything.

This Week on Comic Underground More movement. More new faces. More nights where the wall keeps changing before you can settle into it. We’re not slowing down now. 🔥🔥🔥Monday | 8:30–11:30PM EST @TheNerdsPub Nick and Skye open the week the only way they know how—massive variety, unpredictable walls. You stay ready because the next book could be anything. 🔥🔥🔥Tuesday | 8:30-10:30PM EST @SosaComics Sosa keeps the pace high. Modern keys, variants, bronze mixed in, and a chat that stays alive from start to finish. A show built as much on energy as the books themselves. 🔥🔥🔥Wednesday Doubleheader 7–8:30PM EST @J_and_L_Comics Jered brings the collector books. Rare books, major keys, and inventory that always feels carefully chosen instead of thrown together. 🔥🔥🔥Friday | 7:30-10:30EST @AOnesComicStash Aaron is back with another awesome wall. He’s bringing his usual X-Men stash but promises many more keys from Marvel and DC. Five shows. More momentum. Closer to Anti-Con. ℹ️Remember to join our Comic Underground Channel for reminders and exclusive credits. ℹ️Follow @thecomicunderground and turn on notifications to be the first to know. ℹ️Add your comic grail wants to our search form linked in our bio.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the ladies out there who support our community. Maybe you’ve found love for the hobby yourself or maybe you tolerate it for the rest of us. We are lucky to have you in our lives. Today is the day the CU shows our appreciation for the love you give us. We hope your significant others and children do whatever they can to make you feel loved in return. Bless those remembering their mothers who’ve left before us. Community, don’t mess this up. This is the one day to get your heads out of your long boxes and your nose out of your comics. Be with your Mom if you can and spend your day honoring her if you can’t.

📣📣 Full Episode posted on YouTube 📣📣 Our first seller spotlight in the series called CU Legends is @WhiteOakComics . 💥We wanted to develop a series that showed you a little more behind-the-scenes with sellers, so you could get to know them and discover who they are outside of comics, what they collect, and why we at the CU love working with them so much. 💥We say it often, but it’s true. We want to develop a large cast of sellers who are here to support this corner of the IG comic community while also selling comics to fuel their passion for the hobby and support their families. Sometimes we get the opportunity to know our sellers really well and other times we don’t. This is a pause to step away from selling to acknowledge that the power of our community is the people in it. It is part of our hope that selling with the CU isn’t a monthly transaction, but a visit we look forward to from old friends. 💥Thank you for your support of the CU and the awesome group of sellers with which we collaborate. We are the Comic Underground, your positive comic community. #JoinTheMovement #igcomicfamily
