February 2, 2023 by flhfc

We just recently got word of an official casting decision for the part of Kang The Conqueror in the MCU. Jonathan Majors has been cast in the function as well as will be the main villain in Ant-Man 3. That is still a methods off, however we might be getting a build-up to the character sooner. The Loki series on Disney+ is going to introduce the time Variance Authority, to which Kang has ties. The production business for Loki is called “Limbo”, which in the comics was a kind of headquarters for Kang. Also, there are rumors of a number of different times as well as places where the show will take place. one of which includes Egypt, where Kang ruled as Pharaoh Rama-Tut, very first appearing in great Four.

Kang The Conqueror casting news as well as prospective tie-ins

There is one more prospective great four tie in. Kang The Conqueror’s genuine name is Nathaniel Richards, as well as he is a far-off descendant of Reed Richards. There is likewise a prospective mutant tie in. As Pharaoh Rama-Tut he tried to produce himself an heir in En Sabah Nur, aka Apocalypse. One more tie in, Iron Lad, who unites the young Avengers to stop Kang, is later exposed to be a teen version of Kang pulled from the time-stream.

Now, let’s get into a few of the back problems you may want to think about investing in.

Avengers 8

Kang the Conqueror appropriate very first appeared in Avengers #8 from September 1964. The 9.0 has just recently been selling for over $2000. The 8.0 is about $1000 cheaper, however more recent sales of 7.5’s well exceeding $1000 suggest that an 8.0 realistically is will be somewhere better to $1500. 6.5’s are around $600, however the 4.5 is at about $400. This is a traditional Silver Age book, more desirable than Iron guy 55. If Kang makes an perception with audiences like Thanos, perhaps even a extremely great copy will surpass $1000 at some point.

Fantastic Four

A full year earlier in October 1963, great four #19 marked the very first appearance of Pharoah Rama-Tut,
a time traveler from the year 3000 who is later exposed to be Kang. The FMV for 9.0’s is $1050, a .5 grade below that will save you $250, as well as 6.0/6.5 are around $400.

Avengers 10 & 23

Avengers #10 from November 1964 is the very first appearance of Immortus who is later revealed
to be the future persona of Kang. This is the cheapest of the three earliest appearances. The difference in cost for a 9.2, a 9.0, as well as an 8.5 is about $200 between each. 9.2’s look to have an FMV of $725, while 8.5’s are around $350.

Avengers #23 from December 1965 is an early appearance of Kang featuring a traditional cover by Jack Kirby.

This cover was modified by John Romita after the Comics Code Authority had an off-day as well as determined that Kang’s right hand was as well high over Hawkeye as well as Quicksilver, providing it a frightening impact that would be inappropriate for children.
To pass the inspection, Romita drew the hand further down as well as more to the left as we have now. This is likewise Romita’s very first work at Marvel, though in this problem his main task was as the inker to Jack Kirby’s pencil work. (pg 39 in John Romita as well as All That Jazz)

One more for the road

There are many more problems to recommend, however that will be for one more time. For now, I will end with a extremely cheap, newer book that may be of interest, Avengers #4 from April 2017. This book features gorgeous cover art by the always-on-point Alex Ross as well as details the origin of Kang the Conqueror. This is a book that is barely on anyone’s radar however it may see some action in the near future. For a few dollars, you can’t go wrong.

We are dealing with a time-traveling villain here, as well as things get a bit convoluted. However, this challenging history in comics provides many possible inroads to tell stories as well as introduce new characters in phase 4 & 5 of the MCU.
