The direct market matures. Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen redefine the medium. Speculator boom begins.
High print runs mean condition is the key differentiator. 9.8 census numbers matter more than total prints.
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.
Late at night in Metropolis, Shockwave breaks into S.T.A.R. Labs using information provided to him by "the boss." He makes his way to Section 13 - the Radiation Lab. The next day Blue Devil is in crowded Planet Square being assaulted by a news crew. He escapes by leaping over rooftops and encounters a mugging of tourists which he stops by his mere presence. He guides the tourists, who believe he is Superman, to safety. Blue Devil muses how Gopher would love his heroic act when he spots a pinball machine called "The Demon" in the Videoville Arcade that has a depiction of a demon similar to Nebiros. After being asked to leave by management, he stops at Sam's Place and tells Sam how a medical specialist, Dr. Duprey, told him the costume has become organic material, growing blood vessels and nerves, and has bonded to his skin. Blue Devil returns to his brownstone apartments (all unrented except his own) into which he has invested all his savings. Marla Bloom calls telling him that his earlier encounter with the press has made the news and Jock Verner is upset. Blue Devil turns on the television to see for himself and sees the news report of the on-going police standoff with Shockwave which has quickly made it outside his brownstone. Shockwave demolishes the brownstone and Blue Devil emerges from the rubble. Hearing a cop hope that Blue Devil is a hero, Shockwave opts to take him out quickly but only maddens Blue Devil into fighting back. Blue Devil knocks Shockwave into Jefferson Park where the fight continues. Dr. Jenet Klyburn arrives and tells Blue Devil that Shockwave stole some concentrated 'super' kryptonite that S.T.A.R. Labs had developed for testing purposes. Blue Devil realizes that he must get it back before it can be used against Superman. He returns to the battle. Meanwhile Jock Verner, upset over Blue Devil's televised battle with Shockwave - as it's disrupting his "carefully planned" ad plans for the upcoming movie, orders Marla Bloom to stop his "unauthorized" appearances. She calls legal attorneys "Fischman, Ullman & Ross." Blue Devil sees Shockwave adjust a controller on his belt that increases his power and subsequently destroys it. The fight continues a little longer until a strange flying craft, manned by the shadowed supervillain and several henchmen, arrives. The craft's tractor beam pulls Shockwave towards it but Blue Devil leaps and snatches the belt canister which holds the kryptonite. Because armed helicopters are fast approaching, which the craft cannot withstand, the villains opt to flee. Jenet Klyburn gratefully asks Blue Devil if there's anything she can do to repay him for his help and he explains about the suit. She offers to take him back to S.T.A.R. Labs to try and help. Just then an attorney arrives barring Blue Devil from using the exosuit, the property of Marla Bloom Associates, in public. Blue Devil picks the attorney up by his jacket and hangs him from a signpost. Blue Devil leaves with Dr. Klyburn. The remaining film crew and police officers refuse to help the attorney until the attorney quits his tirade against Blue Devil and "admits" it was Shockwave who did this to him.
