Speculative micro-allocation with high-beta risk/reward characteristics.

Deconstructionist storytelling. Trade-first publishing. Creator prestige over character IP.
Value driven by creator reputation and adaptation potential rather than print scarcity.

The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
The Queen of Fables, posing as The Might Behind the Mirror who has been granting people's wishes, shows Frost a vision of the future where she has lost control of her powers and causes the frozen death of everyone on Earth. To avoid this future Frost accepts a wish from the Queen of Fables, who cures her and removes her powers, but this unwittingly gives the Queen the power to escape her prison in the mirror dimension. The Queen promptly uses fairy tale characters to imprison the JLA and to help her gain control of humanity. Vixen makes a sacrifice in an attempt to escape.
