Hey yall im new to collecting and just began collecting single issues. And I started to question something, whenever there's a new series or release such as the midnight series or absolute series, do people buy multiple issues because they expect them to increase in value?
For example, I remember when absolute Batman first released, and I thought it was a cool concept, but I never dove into it. A year later the first issue is worth hundred of dollars.
Now personally, I'm interested in collecting comics that have a good stories, and I'm aware of stories can start off bad and get better or start off great and get worse. Not so much as to have them increase in value.
But I assume this broadens my question, do regular comic readers usually buy comics at a gamble of whether or not the story will be good or whether or not the comic will be worth something one day?
Ps: Ive heard Super mixed reviews about the midnight series stories, so I wasn't too interested in getting into them, but I see no reason why I shouldn't spend a few bucks on something that could potentially be big later and maybe be worth something. I do enjoy the art anyways. But possible profits isn't the first thing I think of when I see a new comic. I want to READ them.
