It is time to start combing dollar comics boxes across the country for issues of Sunfire and Big Hero 6, Big Hero 6, and Alpha Flight #17 from Marvel. I have already seen a kick up in interest in this comic and believe it would be a great investment now. Big Hero 6 is about to become the talk of the town and you have the opportunity to be in-the-know before anyone else.
What is Big Hero 6?
Big Hero 6 was originally a superhero team comprised of Hiro Takachiho, Honey Lemon, GoGo Tomago, Baymax, Wasabi-No-Ginger [which sounds tasty], Fred, Ebon Samurai, Silver Samurai, Sunfire, and Sunpyre.
The Oddity of the Premiere
Alpha Fight #17 was supposed to be the team’s first appearance in the Marvel Universe, but a scheduling snafu caused Sunfire and Big Hero 6 #1 to appear on shelves before Alpha Flight #17. So, they had their own title before they were actually formally introduced into the continuity of the Marvel Universe. The team later went on to have their own miniseries without Sunfire.
Why the Interest in Big Hero 6?
Disney is making an animated Big Hero 6 movie which is set to premiere in November 2014. I have confirmed sources which have told me that Disney has already begun purchasing issues of the Big Hero 6 comics for their archives, so there are some issues which are dropping out of circulation. I have no clue how many issues Disney is purchasing, but don’t expect the archived ones to hit the market again.
The Differences
Don’t expect Sunfire or Silver Samurai to be in the Big Hero 6 movie as the main stars are going to be Hiro Hamada and his robot Baymax. The film will have oriental influences as the story takes place in San Fransokoyo (San Francisco and Tokyo). In case you have been living under a rock for your entire life, you know that Disney is the greatest marketing giant of all time and turns almost everything it touches to gold. Turn that gold into a dollar comics box find to remember.
