Speculator Corner: Marvel Comics #1000 – First Appearance of Apocalypse's Original Four Horsemen From HOXPOX

Marvel Comics #1000 was a big-selling title for Marvel – but not their biggest. The ten-dollar price tag saw to that. Still, there are lots of copies around and about. The D23 Mickey Mouse cover sells comfortably for $200 a pop, and some of the rarer covers get a slight premium, but the standard covers sell for, or below, cover price.

Now there are a few moments that may suggest it could be in collector and speculator demands. The setting up of The Masked Raider, the revived Enclave and new 3Xs, the return of Korvac and Adam Strange, all big enough moments to draw the Speculator Eye of Sauron.

But also, Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver's page gave us a look at the mutant world to come. Specifically the Horsemen Of The Apocalypse. The original ones.

Who, as we have seen in Powers Of X #4, burst out of the Krakoan original mass, splitting it in two…

But the first time we saw them, and saw their faces too, was in Marvel Comics #1000. And that's going to count as a first appearance. First cameo at least. If you were interested in such things. Should be plenty of copies around (for now) if you are…

As Apocalypse comes to Krakoa again in the most recent House Of X #5.

And makes himself at home…

And, as part of Excalibur, will that see him bring back his original horsemen? They presumably have a part to play…
