One of the more popular characters to come out of the Clone Wars era is the Sith wannabe, Asajj Ventress. She was featured prominently in both the 2003 and 2008 series of Clone Wars cartoons and in Dark Horse comics. She is also set to star in a new Del Rey book, Star Wars: Dark Disciple in 2015. Her first appearance in comics is in the one-shot, Star Wars: Jedi - Mace Windu.

Interestingly, there are several listings of this comic on eBay which are asking for $30 or more. This comic usually sells for $4 - 6. Why the discrepancy between what sellers are asking and what the comic actually sells for? There was a rumor that Asajj Ventress is the villain in Star Wars Episode VII earlier this year which is looking more and more unlikely, but TV and movie rumors are a big factor right now in comic book prices. It is doubtful a copy has ever sold for $30 on eBay, let alone the $85 that MyComicShop is asking, but that does not stop enterprising individuals from attempting to capitalize on the latest TV and movie rumors.
