Well that will give Marvel another year to reboot and relaunch her solo title 3 more times…

The end of 2022? Does that mean we won’t get a trailer this Friday as that is so far away?

I can say with 100% certainty maybe not.

Ms. Marvel as an investment worries me. Full disclosure, I have a copy of Capt. Marvel 17 2nd Print, and I know, currently the book and related books are worth a lot.

I just feel her comic story/background is not as strong as say Miles Morales, etc, and there is a big push to make her fit certain boxes (which is a good thing if packaged with good storytelling). Her comic book has been relaunched several times, and I believe her spec value will be based on the success of her TV show.

Kind of like most TV/Movie hyped characters - there is a bump in spec value for a while, a dip when prices go too high (like now/speculators deciding whether to buy in), a slight bump again based on previews/reviews of Tv show, and THEN whether it holds value depends on the success of the TV show and acceptance by a broad audience.

Kind of like Spider-gwen - BUT Spider-gwen has one thing going for her - Cosplayers. I just dont see this happening with Ms. Marvel to a large extent.

So, just rambling here, but I would be careful about my investment in Ms Marvel 17. UF 4 might be the surer thing, CM 17 may be a lower spec investement (if you get a good deal on it !). I do want her to suceed, just sharing some of my thoughts …interested in other viewpoints.

The multiple relaunches are bad to a hardcore comic audience, but Marvel Rising characters do well with kids. Characters that kids can latch onto will be sought over the next 2-3 decades.

That said, I agree with you that most of Ms. Marvel’s spec, at least over the next couple years, hinges on Disney/Marvel nailing this show. If they cast well, as they usually do, and if the storytelling is solid, all will be well. And regardless of what happens with the MCU, you still have a low print modern gem.

Agree, I still speculate on her, its just that I am not bullish on her. Some other characters that fall in this category would be Amadeus Cho, Young Avengers, Silk, Kate Bishop, etc. and all the newer characters that are being promoted/pushed now. I see promise for Riri, Bloodstone, may be Spider-Gwen, etc. as there are some cool costumes and background stories that could interest folks. But for most, there isnt enough character development to generate fan/audience interest. So from a spec perspective, its really about making a call as to how much one feels they can buy in at and/or sell for, and if its worth it. From a fan perspective, obviously I would like to have a copy or two.
I’m also a low-risk speculator, so that also affects my choices. So take my thoughts as MY perspective.

Interesting! I actually just bought a copy of Marvel Comics Presents #158 at my local shop (and likely overpaid for it–it certainly wasn’t a dollar find or anything). It’s just a book I’ve repeatedly tried to find but never do. In fact, I never see any of those end of the run Marvel Comics Presents issues. I was just happy to see it on the wall and frankly didn’t care about the price. Ended up like $30 buck but it was near mint and I avoided the ebay shipping/possible damage headache.

Hopefully they do end up having a role!

Sounds like a few minor Easter Eggs put this guys panties in a knot.

I agree changing Ms Marvels back story, powers, and origin is dumb. There’s no reason to do this nothing keeping them from using Inhumans again. Makes no sense to bring back the Netflix characters but not bring back the Inhumans.

Love the suit. Can’t believe people were hating on her TV scenes when it’s supposed to be an origin story.

You’re all missing Miles Morales in the backgroundšŸ˜‚
