Mystique Keeps Debuting In Ms. Marvel #17, Up for Auction
Mystique has had almost as much pre-MCU debut heat as anyone these last few months, as things like Secret Invasion and the impending debut of the mutants send speculation into the stratosphere. Her debut, which really spans Ms. Marvel #'s 16-18, have had a ton of action on them, and it would kind of be neat to see her be the first X-related character in the MCU. One of those big debut issues, #17 is taking bids at Heritage Auctions today, and for a CGC 9.8 copy at that. Currently sitting at $310, it ends today. Take a look at the copy down below.
