Annihilators 3- Rocket Raccoon Origin Story

[larrytrulove]

This is a pretty obscure issue that could quickly gain heat, 1st and only origin story and has a low print and variant cover with Rocky....errr Rocket Raccoon.

 

With these other obsure issues gaining heat, this one is poised to out perform all.

 

Not very many on ePay and around the net. Thoughts?

Its been selling pretty well the past few days, definitely being ignored by the masses. But the origin is recognized by CGC. I think the only reason its getting overlooked is because it is so much newer than the first appearances and the mini series.

Imagine that cover with a Bradley Cooper SS. Talk about inflated ebay bidding war.

[Cyclops]

I'd actually be interested in reading this issue. I'll see if I can pick one up locally.

Looks like I was spot on with this, thanks to the guys at google + for pointing this out a few weeks back.

Note to self. Never post speculation until you've gobbled everything up locally. Made that mistake. Before I knew it all three spots I had eyes on Annihilators #3 were sold out!

Managed to grab one at my LCS today for $5. Already looks like a solid investment.

It's #75. There could also be a newsstand version.

[Awax]

I was really asking Jimmy how high HE was.

[the authority]

 

Oops. I can't count or reach that high so I will join in waiting for his answer.

[darkstar]

print run is high.

 

Very high.

 

 

the rocket/groot covers for the 4 different issues in the series are all incentive based, although I'm pretty sure its low, like 1:15

On a separate note, the synopsis for this series sounds great. Beta Ray Bill, Ronan, Silver Surfer, Magus, SPACEKNIGHTS ?, dire wraiths, GotG, and more. If this story was any good, I'm buying the trade. So, was it any good ?

[Gothopia]

All of that wave of Abnett and Lanning cosmic comics were great. Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest, and their tie-ins as well as War of Kings.

That's great. I used to read their Legion and Legion Lost books. They have been a great team imo.

Loved their work together, too bad they split

[siro123]

I just read the issue. How is this Rockets origin story ?

This is not his origin story just the story of how he lost his memories.

Who is spreading this Propaganda ? Muahhhhh.

Someone read it and tell me i'm wrong.

I want to be wrong cause i have 7 of these and they cost $2 each !

I though that was rule 7 in the Sequential Art Speculators Handbook.
