I'll have a side of digital with my print

Starting in June 2012, Marvel Comics will bundle print copies of "all Marvel super hero comics priced at $3.99" with special codes so the comic book buyer can download a free digital copy of the same comic.

Marvel Entertainment SVP of sales David Gabriel explained: "We've seen a tremendous response to the digital codes in Avenging Spider-Man, our Season One graphic novels and the Ultimate Comics line. The positive reactions from both retailers and fans make it clear that including these codes with our books drives customers into comic stores on a repeated basis."

Comic book heroes are hardly ever seen placing bids or working the numbers. 

"Richie Rich" is one character which I think comes closer to financial world, but no body ever explained how he became so rich :).

Everybody needs heroes, even financial investors.  Comic book heroes are hardly ever seen placing bids or working the numbers.  However we shouldn't forget the wealthy philanthropists, like Charles Xavier of the Xavier Institute, that back some of the most interesting superheroes.

Which is exactly why I'm bio-engineering killer viruses in my  bathroom. 

That's what contagion was about, right? Never saw it.

Contagion left a lot of lose ends but it underscored how easy it is to manipulate the market.
