I'll go with Invincible 44 - 1st appearance of Anissa. 

They do the character right and she could be gold. 

110 on the big/tv screen would be unbelievably shocking.  I think they could do it, just not too crazy.  

But WD did shy away from some of the controversial scenes like this one, so I won't be surprised if they do it again (like the real deaths of Ricks' wife and the baby).

For season 2 or what is your prediction for? They did announce this show over a year ago.

The show will be on Amazon. If you've seen The Boys you can agree that there aren't really many limits.

They already announced the voice casting as well. I'm sure they could be holding something back though.

I picked the right time to randomly check whether a promo comic I picked up a while back was selling for anything noteworthy:

Since there is no guarantee that either character will last past the end of the mini, for his/her sake I hope they dump it fast..........

That was the basic problem with the '90s implosion. There were comics featuring some specific new characters, or new series, or comics from new publishers that suddenly were worth a lot of money, and then speculators jumped on the first appearance of any new character or series, thinking that there would be value there too. For the value to stick, the interest has to stick, and that's only going to happen under certain circumstances. I haven't been reading the DC stuff, but from what I can gather it seems too wild to maintain steam, since you can't maintain the level of insanity that the storyline is pumping out

2015 series. Sites I've checked list #9 as Miles joining the 616 Universe. Curious if this is correct.

I don't think I finished that mini, but the first bunch of issues takes place on a world that's a combination of a bunch of different Marvel eras and universes, so it's not technically the 616 but Miles is there. The final issue may be where they all return to the 616 Earth. He's interacting with 616 characters before then, so I'm not sure that the first issue where he's on the 616 Earth is really all that important.

Its the same group that's back in the hobby again. Card hobbyists. They view our hobby differently and did in the 90s as well. They tanked their hobby and then just about destroyed ours in the 90s as well. I hate to have that viewpoint, but when I got to shows I see the same type of mentality now.

Let them keep buying at inflated prices and invite their friends to join them. I am fine taking money from card collectors in addition to comic collectors. The card guys will get burned in then end, like last time, but we can profit from it, just like last time as well.

The Death Metal stuff will have limited shelf life this time around. The DC books you want to focus on are the regular ongoing titles. Now that Tynion is staying on past Batman 100, his new characters will have some staying power.

I did the same in the 90s when I was in college. I just hate to see it again. This time they are running websites or are online shops now that become pyramid scams by pushing books. 

After visiting about 7 or 8 shops last weekend I don't think they will survive another round like that again.
