Set Description
In 2022 the New Zealand mint created a new "Collection" series of coins called COMIX which are based on Marvel and DC comic book covers. They are silver, $2, proof/coloured with a mintage of 5,000 coins. There is not and never will be an individual set for these coins created by the NGC Registry. They have declined because they want you to dump them into two different year groups, 2022 & 2023. The 2022 set presently has 151 eligible slots, while the 2023 set has 152 eligible slots. If you started a new competitive collection today, all you have to do is open up your wallet/purse/credit card and go at it!! To "compete" you just need to buy 300+ coins!! So here is my answer, another custom set is the only way to get them all in one theme and one set.
Set Goals
For this set I'm going to discard the usual slab pictures and either use NGC High Res photos or create new ones using one of the three following processes:
Photos taken with Nikon D3300 DSL Camera with attached AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm F3.5-5.6G lens. A CS-920 copy stand and external lights were utilized to setup shots. Adobe Photoshop Elements used to fix any digital artifacts. OR
Photos were taken with a Nikon D3300 DSL Camera with a Nikon Macro 105mm F/2.8 lens attached.. A CS-920 copy stand and external lights were utilized to setup shots. Adobe Photoshop Elements used to fix any digital artifacts.
Photos taken with a Google Pro 6 camera. Adobe Photoshop Elements used to fix any digital artifacts.

Comix 2023 – The Incredible Hulk
This Incredible Hulk COMIX™ Coin Is A Real Smash!
“Hulk smash!” is the catchphrase of everyone’s favorite giant green monster—and due to a recent sale of a The Incredible Hulk #1 comic book, that phrase is more appropriate than ever. That’s because a rare, highly graded issue sold for the record-smashing price of $490,000, making it the most expensive Hulk #1 ever sold! Now the cover of the scintillating comic book featuring the very first appearance of Ol' Greenskin has been reproduced in full color on a limited-edition coin. Struck in a Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, it’s the latest release in the renowned New Zealand Mint’s COMIX™ series!
The Origin OF The World’s Most Offbeat Superhero
Published by Marvel Comics on May 1, 1962, The Incredible Hulk #1 was created by the legendary Stan Lee, who said his offbeat superhero was a combination of Frankenstein’s Monster, Dr. Jekyll’s Mr. Hyde, the Golem of Jewish mythology. As most fans know, the Hulk was the result of a gamma bomb explosion that turned mild-mannered scientist Dr. Bruce Banner into “the strongest one there is!” whenever he lost his temper. Ironically, the Hulk wasn’t portrayed with his signature green skin in this inaugural first issue but was depicted in muted gray. Thanks to the shortcomings of the four-color printing process at the time, he ended up appearing with a gray hue that differed from page to page. Marvel switched to green in the very next issue. Regardless of color, the famous cover image drawn by superstar artist Jack Kirby is one of Marvel’s best and is still a fan favorite.
Incredible Hulk Takes Flight For The First Time
This rectangular-shaped coin shows Bruce Banner morphing into the Hulk while a question mark that boldly asks the question, “Is he man or monster or... is he both” while another burst proclaims, “fantasy as you like it!” To further mimic the original comic book, the coin has been colorized on four sides to represent the cover, spine, and pages. Small flashes of silver have been left on the cover to catch the light! This legal-tender $2 coin was also struck in gorgeous Proof condition meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
Just 5,000 Coins Struck For Worldwide Release!
