Owner's Description

STORY TITLE:

"The Killing Stroke"

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

This was the 8th one to this Set I added. From multiple searches on the web it also happened to be one of the hardest to find already pre-graded. I guess I just happened to be lucky no one scooped this one up in between the time I found it and was able to build funds to afford it. Anyways as for this one it’s the Second Issue in the series that Liefeld contributes to and the first from the core series.

PERSONAL FAVORITE LINE(S):

“If the sword needs blood… then let it drink mine” - Eitri

NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF

Published: January 1990

KEY ISSUE: Nope, not really. I mean like I said previously this is the 1st one from the core series that Rob Liefeld has something to do with. I guess in the grand scheme of things this was the first cover in a while that really popped out which was a tag team effort by Rob Liefeld and Tod McFarlane… Other than that though… yeah so not so much.

SO HOW MANY ARE THEIR K???

38 Total have been graded grand total of 30 at 9.8 and of those there are 5 at 9.8SS. There is also 4 at the 9.6 position as well as one at 9.4, a single 9.2, a 9.0 and a single 7.0. Kind of funny that every signed copy of this one is a 9.8

ANY PLANS FOR THIS ONE???

Why yes there is. I plan to get both Rob Liefeld’s signature on this one as well as Todd McFarlane’s as well. Normally both are pretty big on attending SDCC every year so I’ll have to turn this one over to Desert Winds or another facilitator for the 2014 SDCC. If not I can always attempt to get it signed by Rob at the Capital City Comic Con as he seems to be a rumored attendee. As for gaining Todd’s Signature I don’t really think there is a way to get around going through Desert Winds for this one. I think contractually they have him locked down.

DID YOU MEET YOUR GOAL???

Nope, I just bought this one… Gonna take some time.

*Edit* So this one is sort of done. It has been signed by Rob Liefeld and Tom DeFalco which does make this a one of a kind double signed book.

SO HOW DID YOU GET THIS ONE???

I was able to grab this one off the World Wide Comics site. Honestly I was amazed it had stayed up there for so long but also thankful it did. Gave me some time to grab those other huge grails I was looking for first and then set aside time to get this one. Also purchased with this one was #92. Thank you World Wide.

MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:

Ok for right now this is going to have to be the generic Marvel Wikia Synopsis. I’ll try to pull this one out of the old raw box and write one out to match for here. Until then I guess the wikia will have to do


The New Mutants fight valiantly on the side of the gods against Hela's forces, but it is not enough. In Hela's prisons, however, Eitri fashions a key and releases himself and the Einherjar so that they might rejoin the battle. Danielle Moonstar, corrupted by Hela's magic, fights her way to Odin's sleeping chamber. There she is opposed by the New Mutants, and they battle. Suddenly Eitri bursts in, and attacks the sword with his hammer (though Danielle thinks it is she who is assaulted). On earth, Rusty tries to stop Vulture from escaping, and fails. He frees Skids, and they go after him. Back in Asgard, Danielle Moonstar stands victorious over the sleeping Odin. Sam asks Eitri what happened, and Eitri tells him the flaw on the sword is marked, it will shatter in one hit, but probably kill the person who takes that hit. As Dani swings the sword at Odin, Cannonball blasts his way towards her swing - the sword and he collide, its destruction releasing the Valkyries from Hela's hold. Dani comes back to her senses, and before her Cannonball lies still.
