comicginger1789 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Yeah that one sucks too. .Again too much going on, weird angles and it just looks rough. I think that cover was just destined to be a mess. PopKulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (the 8-12 year olds comics were marketed to) wanted a cover packed with awesome excitement, bodies piled up... YOU WANT MY 75 CENTS, EARN IT!!!!!... not this posing nonsense that passes for covers nowadays. Avengers covers are supposed to have a zillion things going on, there are a zillion Avengers.

littledoom Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Avengers Annual 10 is actually one of my most fav covers..

the blob Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Mind you, Rogue's body proportions do look weird. tiny dino arms? She is terrible. But I like all the action. Edited May 1, 2020 by the blob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP_Gresham Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Looking at all the down arrows on IM #55 and i wonder what 'hot' books will follow. There was a 9.4 sale of this book in 2018 for $3100.

IM 55? It definitely was a book that became hotter due to movie hype but I'd think X-Factor 6 or TOS 50 were the first few books that became keys simply for movie hype (and have since crashed). But since neither are Bronze I'll go with your suggestion. Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the appearance of Thanos in the end credits scene of the first Avengers film, IM 55 went from cold to stratospheric pretty much overnight, and that, for me, was the very apparent start of extreme, panicking, film speculation frenzy.
