Ash #0 — Joe Quesada & Jimmy Palmiotti's Event Comics
The 1994 independent phenomenon that established Event Comics as a creative powerhouse, serving as the direct springboard to Joe Quesada becoming Marvel's Editor-in-Chief.
Home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League.
Outside the Marvel/DC duopoly. Often creator-owned with outsized cultural impact and far greater natural scarcity.
No returnable copies, no overprint buffer. True scarcity with potential for explosive growth on media adaptation news.
Inspectable mathematical proof, blockchain/ledger provenance, data integrity validation, and asset taxonomy.
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.
Gorilla Grodd escapes from Iron Heights, freeing the Rogues. Grodd's fury and rage scare the Rogues to run off. Grodd takes his anger out on Wally. He beats Wally physically and mentally with his telepathic powers. Before finishing him off, Grodd decides to hurt Wally by hurting his friends. Fallout hears noises and moves to investigate what all the commotion is in the prison. When he sees Flash being beaten by Grodd he blasts Grodd who then buried Fallout in ruble and runs out to attack Wally's friends. Gregory Wolfe bandages up Hunter Zolomon from her earlier gorilla beating. Wolfe claims he is on Zolomon and Wally's side. Grodd suddenly appears and attacks them. In the process, he snaps Zoloman's back. Wally wakes up with a doctor telling him he's been out of it for several hours. Gregory Wolfe admits to Flash that he was right that Grodd shouldn't be imprisoned. Wally admits that Wolfe was right and that Grodd needs to be contained. He tells Wolfe to rebuild the cell stronger because he's going after Grodd and bringing him back.
