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.
Oblivion has successfully drawn his daughter Mirage back to his realm with the incapacitated Bobby Drake in her arms. Oblivion seeks to punish her for her recent transgressions. Bobby reminisces about his own parents and the guilt trip they had placed on him and becomes enraged, turning into Iceman and striking at Oblivion with ferocity and eventually leaves him lying under a pile of ice. Behind him, he hears Mirage and is startled to find her wearing the same garb as Oblivion, having embraced her identity as a creation of him. Bobby is dismayed by this as she speaks with her father about being a reflection of him. Oblivion picks up Bobby and throws him into the cowl of his robe after feeling disheartened at the feeling of love around him but without having felt such a strong emotion himself. Bobby seems to disappear into nothingness but his voice is quickly heard refusing to succumb and claiming that love keeps the dream alive. He triumphantly leaps from Oblivion's robe and Oblivion comes to a sudden realization after having shared the emotion felt by Bobby. He tells Bobby that he cannot restore the life of his father killed in 1942 but says that there are numerous realities and in others, Bobby never went back in time and his father was never killed. He sends Bobby back to his home in Port Jefferson on the night he fought with his parents. He springs from his bed in elation and rushes to find them and apologizes for his actions when he does. His parents are stunned by his change of heart but gladly make amends with him and they express their love for one another. Beast and Angel suddenly appear in front of the Drakes' house and tell Bobby that they have Defenders business to attend to and he leaves with them as his parents wish him well.
