2018 MARKET UPDATE: NO SIGN OF TASKMASTER IN THE MARVEL CU

Another year has passed without any news of Taskmaster appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

CGC 9.4 $130

2017 MARKET UPDATE:

You can sum this book up like this: go high grade, or go home.

Practically every grade below CGC 9.6 is stone cold. Meanwhile, 96 is holding its own, and 9.8 is still on the rise.

CGC 9.8 $660
CGC 9.6 $215

The rapid rise in value of this book can be attributed to strong movie rumors.

\While Taskmaster originally fought the Avengers (his first true appearance, in cameo, was in Avengers #195), he now appears in the Marvel Universe either as an ally or enemy of Deadpool.

With the Deadpool movie in theaters, and a sequel confirmed to star Cable, the value of New Mutants #98 is assured, and lesser characters, heroes and villains who might appear in that movie are being speculated on.

Taskmaster is one of the most likely to feature.
