I expect more from such a bath. Forgot that...yes, Knowhere is the head of a dead Celestial...PLUS the Celestial planet-killing scene with The Collector. Now, maybe in GOTG2 they are a larger part of the story, but they've already had their "1st appearance". And agreed, I was fully expecting that yellow brain sludge to have a very positive effect on Drax's powers. He doesn't seem like he has the powers to take out Thanos like he did in Annihilation...got curb stomped by Ronan in GOTG1.

Yeah, I was elbowing my wife and saying "okay, watch him kick Ronan's butt now" but nothing. It seemed so simple and set-up so nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know if they are on GOTG 2 or not. Repeating a rumor I heard, but I don't follow that stuff that closely (and haven't seen the movie).

It's been a while since I've seen it, but didn't Drax drown in the fluid? Coming back from the dead is a neat trick.

Ken Aldred Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Drax drowned, stopped breathing, Groot performed some delicate surgery by stabbing him with his finger, and Drax then coughed up all the fluid.

Those are the two books I would be going after. They are the most plentiful of the 30c variants, pretty much the easiest to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a story here about some guy with a long box full of HTD variants The Howards and Eternals were both being speculated on at the time so their numbers are a little higher. I grew up in a test market for the 30 cent variants and most books were plentiful until the late 1990s, when collectors started picking dealers stock clean. You would be surprised how often they all still turn up in garage sales around here. While the Eternals may be a little easier to find, I would estimate they are still 10x more rare than the regular covers. That was my main point, as a speculative buy, they are still the rarest versions of the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan510 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I don't know if I would say Eternals #2 is "just" heating up. The last GPA sale recently is $195. I own the two highest recorded GPA sales for 9.8's with the highest one being $250 in 2015. So the book has been kind of heated up for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only bought the books because they were the 1st appearance of the celestials and knowing the Marvel movies were headed towards Infinity War. So much of this is just pure speculation, just look at the 1st app of Machine Man and how that spiked. Is he even more than just a rumor to be in a movie at this point?
