The pattern from Insomniac's Spider-Man games (2018, 2020, 2023) is consistent: collector interest in the source comics elevates in the weeks before launch and spikes on release day. Wolverine #23 with a KCC key flag ships 69 days before the game. Source: PlayStation official, CovrPrice.com historical data.
