uchiha101 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I believe IM 55 hasn't even peaked yet. not until the movie at least Even then, I think Thanos' overall popularity will finally blossom enough to sustain the book as a major key, thus helping it retain its value Villains never hold their value well maybe a couple months after the fact then it's a downward trend. Never??? That's a pretty absolute statement. Just off the top of my head, Green Goblin, Doctor Doom and Galactus first appearances have been pretty consistent over the years. Like Galactus, I believe Thanos will further transcend the simplistic "villain" label and become a popular mainstream character, whether he's being naughty or not Just my opinion I was talking about after the movie hype happens doom is one of those villains the lost value after the movie and a bit before it premiered.

mysterio Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 .....a few months ago I was going to pick up Forever People 1 in decent condition, but I decided I'd wait. I mean, what are the odds that the whole scenario of me putting off buying IM55 would backfire twice? Oh well, won't be the last collection book I pass on that gets crazy hot. one thing that may hold it back a little is it being the 4th or whatever appearance, whereas IM 55 was for sure the first and he is right there on the cover too And all those third world books being speculated on at the time Thanos is on the cover?

Gatsby77 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah -- weird to think the first appearance of Drax is a bigger key than the first appearance of Star Lord. Dave Bautista FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heronext Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah -- weird to think the first appearance of Drax is a bigger key than the first appearance of Star Lord. Dave Bautista FTW. First appearance of Drax is a non-factor in value of IM 55... He's completely subsumed by the big Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPark Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have always found Drax to be a more interesting character than Star Lord, at least before the new Guardians...its unfortunate that his first appearance is shared. Look at Giant Size X-Men 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEVER, that is not true at all. Characters like Thanos and Darksied have a cult following and always will. Me personally I always root for the villains i.e. Darth Vader and have been a huge fan of Thanos for a long time and would pay a premium for his books over heroes from that time period anyday.

Iqc23 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) One day the industry is going to recognize that forever people 1 is the Darksied book to get. He is definitely one of most interesting villain out there. Hope there do him justice on the big screen.
