*KILLER BRAND NEW ULTRA HIGH GRADE AVENGERS, FANTASTIC FOUR AND X-MEN CONSIGNMENT:

 

These three new consignments, the most recent additions to the Auction Listing, are sure to please the high grade X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers collectors out there. Included in the X-Men group is a stunning copy of X-Men #1 in CGC certified 9.2, X-Men #3 in 9.6, X-Men #4 in 9.6, X-Men #13 in 9.4, X-Men #16 in 9.6 (Pacific Coast), X-Men #27 in 9.6 and X-Men #88 in 9.8.

 

The X-Men #4 is noteworthy as it contains the first appearance of both Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch (as well as the second appearance of Magneto) and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Quicksilver was just recently introduced in his first motion picture feature (to raging acclaim by fans) in the X-Men: Days of Future Past and both Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are slated to appear in next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron motion picture. X-Men #4 is one of the hottest comic books on the planet right now and prices of this great book, especially in high grade, are sure to continue to rise as the buzz of the second Avengers movie increases.

 

Here is a list of the new X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers consignments (over 50 books in total with a few other titles mixed in). Most of the Avengers issues plus the Daredevils and the Fantastic Fours were just graded this week by the experts at the CGC:
