God of Thunder and Rock ‘n Roll: Knull Speculation Could Revive These Keys

Remember when God of Thunder #2 and #6 have been the belles of the accumulating ball? After two years and one dangerous film, these once-mighty honest market values have shrunk significantly, however they might be on the upswing very quickly.

As beforehand reported, Marvel confirmed {that a} fifth Thor film is in growth (as if anybody didn’t see that coming). Despite the poor reception for Thor: Love and Thunder, director Taika Waititi stated that he can be focused on tackling a 3rd God of Thunder flick. What set off the hypothesis alarms was his point out that, if he have been to write down/direct the movie, Thor would want a villain extra highly effective than Hella. Cue the Knull theories.

Traditionally, Venom #3, particularly the third-print variant with Knull on the quilt, has been the prime accumulating goal. As consumers are centered on these points, it might pay dividends to seize these keys whereas costs are down.

Although it wasn’t Jason Aaron’s authentic intent, this comedian featured the debut of what would develop into Knull. It wasn’t way back that God of Thunder #6 was something however an reasonably priced key. During the market growth of 2021, Knull was one of the most popular new characters in all of comics. With MCU hypothesis at its peak, it drove the 9.8 to a record-high $699 sale with nothing promoting underneath $200 that 12 months.

Between Knull being vanquished by Venom within the comics and Love and Thunder having subsequent to zero connection to the character, the costs have come again to Earth. In mild of the newest rumors, that’s an excellent factor. For the previous 12 months, the graded 9.8 has averaged $140, making this an excellent time to take a position.

Let’s say Waititi does get the Love and Thunder job, and he introduces Knull. That might be sufficient to jolt God of Thunder #2 again into the accumulating image.

Given GOT # 2 is Gorr’s first look, this difficulty was purple scorching after Christian Bale was introduced for Love and Thunder. Gorr could also be lifeless and gone within the MCU, however there’s one more reason to need this difficulty. As comedian followers know, it’s the Necrosword that made Gorr into the God Butcher. Once Knull arrived, it was revealed that the magic sword was the primary symbiote. It was even used to create Knowhere after Knull decapitated a Celestial.

If Knull is the villain for the following Thor film, it’s seemingly Gorr’s blade from Love and Thunder can be related to the God of the Symbiotes. That would put the Necrosword’s debut in God of Thunder #2 within the shopping for crosshairs. At the second, the graded 9.8 has averaged lower than $150 for the previous 12 months with a 30-day FMV sitting at $92. However, August 26 noticed a $128 sale, so costs could also be on the uptick.

While we’re on the subject of reasonably priced Knull keys, right here’s one that might pay dividends if Marvel’s CGI stars align.

In 2019, Donny Cates gave Knull his personal group of capos, affectionately referred to as Knull’s Sentries. They are corrupted goddesses taken from a distant planet the place they have been worshiped by a long-forgotten society. Serving roughly as boss battles for Silver Surfer, they solely lasted till the following difficulty.

While they could have been stepping stones within the comics, the goddesses might be included right into a future film or Disney Plus collection and given a deeper backstory, thus setting the stage for Knull. That would make this a extra coveted collectible. Like each different first difficulty in a brand new collection, there have been quite a few variant editions at each pricing tier.

At some level, Marvel Studios will introduce the Surfer to the MCU. If he and Knull ever meet on the display screen, the SSB #1 second print that includes the 2 characters on the quilt artwork will probably be an prompt bestseller. At the second, you may seize a 9.8 for round $150.
