If my fellow from Boston watched my show, he would know this is not how it works.

Yay more scout,i'm a happy person

If engie-girl comics first edition are worth a fortune then i must find out how much my toho godzilla first edition comic is worth and speaking of that, you should make a toho (not touhou) related comic of monsters destroying tokyo and godzilla and mothra try to save tokyo

No future in paradise

I'd invest in that

I demand Engie-Girl mini arc naow.

I have a shit tone of 2000AD comics just sitting there, wonder if they will be worth something someday

I even purchased The Dead of Superman because all the media claimed that, in a near future, this comic will cost a fortune. They lied.

At least until Engie sues you for all you own due to using her image without permission.

Miss Engie,I think you're trying to seduce me to get to my sweet,delicious cash. It's working.

I think I've still got an X-Force #1 in poly bag with the team card. Or at least my brother has possession of it.

Yeah suuuure. Good investment if you wanna leave it to your grandchildren.... assuming "if" comic collectors "ever" have children.

And now you know. Tune in when neftnow makes a comment about Youngblood's disease to learn about Image comics, the greatest independent comics maker...and the worst offender of the 90's!

When you add all that to the quickly unpopular "Dark Age" of comics, and its little wonder as to why there was the big crash of the 90's, with Marvel filing for bankruptcy being the lowest point of a series of lows!

If there are many copies of Spawn #1, then the comic isn't as rare as, say, Detective Comics #1, so it'll fetch less price. And if its a comic no-one actually LIKED, then all you've done is lose money AND keep a whirlpool of money draining to continue!

Thus, people started buying first editions of EVERYTHING because "Hey, if Superman #1 can fetch up to $1,000,000, sure the same could be said of YOUNGBLOOD #1 as well in 50 years, eh?!". And there is you problem!

The main problem with the Speculator boom was that of future rarity and actual fame. Comics like Superman #1 and Amazing Fantasy #15 were worth so much because they were rare copies of famous comic characters beginnings!

I would buy that.

I think that THAT kind of mind set was one of the main reason why Comic market got marginalized.

But scout is still a virgin. Not like his mother.

[url=#user_comment_268493]@Baine[/url] reminds me of a little ditty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoF_a0-7xVQ [url=#user_comment_268550] @Raven[/url] well if they're all the first issue, Batman #1 suddenly becomes 12 copies less valuable by rarity. The demand at the top is very important to price. The value isn't what the highest is willing to pay, but #12.

I finally figured out how crap the market was when they printed 10 different sets per company, all overprinted. Then tossed out one or two premium sets with super rare cards that you had to get super lucky to get the jackpot. Haven't bought a card in more than a decade now.

Unfortunately I got into baseball cards at just the right time. Through the early '90's, everything was highly printed, so only the best quality set had enough demand later on. Only 1 set per sport, per year ended up worth anything.

Heh, the 90's comic speculator boom. That Engie Girl probably has a number of first issues, all with many alternate covers.

Did that with Puzzle Bobble DS.

Yaknow, if you REALLY wanted to make an investment... Try old video-game CDs.
The ones GoG have are useless, of course, but there might be games that slip through the cracks.
Ones where the original company fell apart and no one bothered to keep any of the games around.
That'll be the equivalent.

Wait comic books are valuable, I inherited a bunch of them from father but I just burned them. Oh well, probably nothing was loss.

bet it's a hentai, with a conservative cover.

she's a little too heavily dressed for my tastes.

A problem with old comics is part of the reason they are so expensive is they are generally pretty rare. What would happen if someone brought out say a dozen of the first batman comics that they bought over the early years when it first started to get valuable?

[url=#user_comment_268538]@Bob[/url] That depends. A lot of them sell at auction, so it could sell really well, or rather poorly. And great investment is hard to say when it's out of reach of like 95% of the population.

50 years later, when Engie-Girl is enjoying a reboot of her movies, and the comic is in full swing, scout sells his old comic book for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Just in time to pay off all those debts to Mann Co.

i'd like to point out that buying a comic book that is ALREADY worth a lot of money is actually a great investment. npr had a program talking about it a while back that the comics that were worth multi thousands of dollars raised in value at a pace of AT WORSE ten times better than stocks.

DEMOPAN

Enge in panel one. I'd back stab that. If you know what I mean

Nerf scout's riches

Is it just me, or are her bewbs smaller in her "super" form? I thought the Most Common Superpower worked the other way around...

@Nerf NOW!!: MovieBob is a film critic that work at The Escapist, apart from movie reviews he has another video series called "The Big Picture" where he talks about whatever random thing he wants. this month has been 90's month.The lase episode was about comics and how they could make you rich.

Jo can you make some more mvm comics? Peetay please with a sapper on top?

Couple text hiccups in the final panel:
"In few years..." <- add an A
"I'm gonna be rich" <- add an exclamation point

Thanks to the glasses her identity is safe!

[url=#user_comment_268514]@SOUP[/url]: "Simpsons did it first"

[url=#user_comment_268504]@Tohron[/url]: Nope. Should I google it?

Couple decades late for this joke to be relevant.

[url=#user_comment_268504]@Tohron[/url]: Damn, beat me to it.

i think this gag has showed up in calvin and hobbes. but it is a good gag anyway.

[url=#user_comment_268504]@Tohron[/url]: I was actually thinking the same thing when I saw this.

That or porn. But porn is less artsy.

You wouldn't happen to watch MovieBob now, would you Jo?

I don't get this, at all. But in all honesty, I usually don't get Nerf Now. I only "read" it for the fanservice.

[url=#user_comment_268494]@Rawshaw[/url]: hahahahahhahahah she's a whore.

change the words on the first panel and you get something very suggestive

[url=#user_comment_268471]@John[/url]: Aaah, Seroquel. I remember the psychiatric hospital. They offered us Seroquel to calm us the fuck down and help us sleep - for free - without any reason for them to do so. Of course I declined, because I WAS NOT SICK MY PARENTS WERE AND THEY SENT ME THERE

Yeah, comics are a terrible investment.

Well nice talking to you, but can I have that speculation bubble back?

Investments. You're doing it wrong.

I've got a part-time job http://www.cloudpeakenergy.com/about-us seroquel mg Current Drug Therapy related problems, determine determine data, recognize drug determine

We need an Engie-Girl arc, stat.

Oooh, money!

Oh Dude, this needs a kickstarter.

It's about Engie, it will be worth a lot because others will be ruined due to.......things.

Good luck to you Scout.

Good luck buddy. Its a lot harder to keep them in prime condition. What is worse is that they are not worth that much until much much latter on. (When your hairs are gray then you might have a shot)

First...edition!
