Just for laughs I went over to eBay and looked up West Coast Avengers #45 (the first appearance of the white Vision, not Silver Age of course). Hilarious stuff. What else do you consider WandaVision spec books? I know a lot of folks are thinking Silver Surfer #3 (Mephisto), though I'm guessing speculation on that will continue regardless of whether he shows up in the season finale (I think it's highly unlikely).

I would love it if Surfer #3 cooled off so I can upgrade my 9.4 to 9.6, but I imagine the Mephisto speculation will continue even if he doesn't show up here. Agatha Harkness and Captain Marvel (Photon or whatever) are both obviously in the series, and will presumably be developed further in other stories, so I wonder if their books will come down. Apparently, Paul Bettany (the Vision actor) said that there will be a big character showing up in the finale. I suppose it could simply be Dr. Strange, which would make the most sense plot-wise and wouldn't likely move the needle on his books. But if it's someone else, we'll probably see another feeding frenzy on the appropriate book(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but do you consider that directly related to WandaVision? At this point Dr. Strange's role in the MCU is well established, and everyone has known for a while that he has a big sequel coming out that will establish the "multiverse" in the MCU. That shouldn't be a variable in the crazy market we've seen this past month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WandaVision has laid down a marker that (i) these Marvel Studios TV shows are 100% part of the MCU story tapestry and (ii) quality-wise they will be as good as the full-length films. It's created a renewed excitement for all-things Marvel, which translates to a lot of value creation. The price jumps we've seen just from the last 45 days on all of these Silver and Bronze Age keys and semi-keys isn't a coincidence -- Wanda Vision began airing 45 days ago. Next up is Falcon/Winter Soldier, that will keep hype going into April and May. And then of course the other announced shows, such as Loki. We're in for quite a ride in terms of new Marvel Studios content (again, value creation), and this is without taking into consideration any theatrical-only releases such as Black Widow and the rest of the film slate.

Judy and I usually prefer the TV shows. With those, the creators aren't forced to choose which "easter eggs" to cram in to try and keep everyone happy, usually resulting in a sloppy disjointed mess .... and you still have to hear the squealing and whining from those who won't be happy no matter what. I have a friend who so far has only liked the first Captain America film, claiming they don't follow the SA comics. I try to explain that those comics were geared to 12 year olds and the target market for films is 18-65 , but there's no reaching him. I like most of the movies, but there's nothing quite like binge watching an entire season of SHIELD.

Pantodude Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) White Vision essentially means the return of Ultron. Some folks already expected that Ultron would return to the MCU sooner rather than later, but this would be quite soon! If they use Ultron's voice (Spader's, from the movie), that woudl be waaaaay coool. I wonder if Avengers #55 heats up.

Weren't AV #54 and #55 selling for more than they do now at the peak of movie hype a few years back? Seems like that would be a cautionary tale for those buying all the Wandavision tie-ins at a premium right now. PeterPark and KCOComics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that would be a cautionary tale for those buying all the Wandavision tie-ins at a premium right now. I recall that too, but apparently the down was overdone. AV55 has a ways to go to catch up to those 2013/2014 levels. But before Wandavision and even the pandemic, AV55 prices have been rising, mostly mid- to high-grades. Not like Daredevil, but inching up. Currently quite a bit higher across all grades from 2019 average and 2020 averages. For example, before White Vision in Wandavision, a 9.8 sold in January for $5040, and 90-day average is $3770 (2 books), and 12-month average is $3093 (4 books), all higher than 2019 average of $2,157 (6 books) and 2020 average of $2,415 (2 books). Keeps me thinking, since Ultron is a cool villain. Starring in the movie few years ago was one thing. Just thought that Ultron coming back in an important next-phase setting series like Wandavision makes this villain more enduring. And that it would keep the book going up, even if it doesn't blow up.

Beige Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Is there a knock-on to TTA #52 finally? Not much in the number of sales, but there is a slow, small continuous trend forming. Nathan Garrett must feature somewhere in the Black Knight saga in the MCU And yes, I do have a couple of copies before anyone asks inc the 9.4 I bought on these very boards. Iron Man Kills Garrett (For those who came in Late...) and on his deathbed tells Whitman where the sword is. You then get Whitman off to Sir Percy's tomb. It ties the 3 knights together. I don't see how Sir Percy and Dane Whitman can meet without Nathan Garrett - and then meet Sersi in the 'Eternals' movie. Makes sense to me anyway! Or maybe wishful thinking as I own a couple of copies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously these are just my personal data points, but the price I paid for #52 came in a little lower than #59 (1st Hulk in title) but higher than #57 (Spidey cross-over).

Under $450 for a TTA #52 8.5 seems very cheap to me. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
