What’s up CHU, Mel The Movie Guy here. I’ve been writing Risk and reward for a little while now, and I hope you guys have seen nice returns on your comic investments. Now, granted you will not get super rich in this thing we do, but you will, and I hope you have, seen profit from my Risk and Reward series. I have been giving you all shallow end of the pool stuff, but I feel that I’m ready to dive in. So without further ado
HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD
So I’m shooting the bull with my guy from the comic shop and he brought up a fabulous point, in Civil war who will Tony Stark have in his corner, War Machine is a given, but what about one Pepper Potts. I’m willing to bet RESCUE will make an appearance in not only Civil War but will be hinted at in the upcoming Avengers movie. So we need to jump on Rescue’s 1st appearance, which was Invincible Iron Man #10. Now the question is which print to get. It seems like the Second Print
is the one to get as its going for close to $30 in the aftermarket, which makes it the HIGH RISK. However if her character takes off we will see female COS-Play of Rescue and more females gravitating towards her character it could easily double in value close to her big screen appearance making it HIGH REWARD.

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
I agree with this pick, but what about Secret Barcode Variant? That one has been overlooked by many people and will be a sought after one as soon as Pepper Potts appears as Rescue.
This issue was on high spec alert around the time of Iron Man 3. Now, it’s because of J.A.R.V.I.S. and RESCUE.
Also, is Gwyneth Paltrow even in A:AoU ? If not, I doubt she’ll be in CA:CW.
Not sure. But she could have a cameo.
Yeah, I suspect a few minutes in the movie most likely at most.
Four months ago she stated she was not in Civil War, and it looks like there hasn’t been any plans to bring her back to the Marvel Universe. She mentioned in one article that they might replace her with a younger version back in January. Either way, I would call this an extreme longshot.
The reason to buy this is not for Rescue but because it is the first appearance of the J.A.R.V.I.S. ai which likely will become the Vision in Avengers 2.
Mile High had these listed at $15 each ($7 with their code word) I ordered two and right after I finalized the ordered it was no longer available on the site. Maybe I just got the last one. Here is to hoping they fill the order. Mile High can be very sketchy at times and it seems if anyone complains they ban them. We’ll see.
I’m trying desperately to trim my pull list. Which of these titles have the most potential for a long term hold and invesent if any?
Outcast
Manifest destiny
Spider Gwen
Star Wars
Wytches
Thanks all for your input!
Outcast was picked up for a tv pilot by Cinemax; so keep that.
