the blob Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Mixing the Guardians of the Galaxy with these inconsistent mash-ups they have called "Guardians of the Galaxy" is like trying to dilute oil with water. The GOTG that the movie was based on was straight from the Annihilation storyline...one of the best Marvel cosmic storylines out there. Sure, it wasn't the original team, but it's not like they pulled it out of their arse like an African-American Johnny Storm... Jessica Alba ain't exactly the spitting image of the comicbook Sue Storm... Edited October 5, 2015 by the blob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Alba ain't exactly the spitting image of the comicbook Sue Storm... No, and there were complaints about her, too, at the time. A far better choice would have been Kristen Bell, or even Sarah Michelle Gellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this result seems to be an outlier, but seriously, why shouldn't this be a $10-$20 book if every other frigging BA first appearance is popping?)

the blob Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 A lot of these are books where you see a couple of bidding wars/high sales and a lot of results that would make me want to age my inventory a bit more. hard to see a definite trend.

kimik Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Right now we are seeing a speculative run on almost any BA #1 or 1st appearance - basically, buy now and hope they hit via a movie or tv show appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
