Charlize Theron, the talented actress, and producer have created another solid movie from a comic book. Last time it was Berlin, the Cold War, and spy kicking action thriller Atomic Blond! Now, she ushers in The Old Guard a movie based on the popular comic The Old Guard by Greg Rucka Eisner-winning writer (Lazarus, Wonder Woman, etc).

 

The Old Guard

If you haven't seen The Old Guard turn on Netflix, pop some popcorn, and zone out with ancient warriors fighting in a modern world for two hours! This thing is a fantastic ride and stays true to the comic with a few interesting twists. That being said, you should pick up the five issues of the comic it is a great read and as stated in two earlier blogs this book would increase in value and good old Charlize has done the tough part with a new movie on Netflix. What profit trends are we seeing in this comic book Old Guard #1? Further, is it too late to get in on the ground floor with this popular comic and Netflix show?

The Old GuardThis is a story of the ancient soldiers and their struggle for freedom in a modern world. Greg Rucka (award-winning writer) and Leandro Fernandez (acclaimed artist Deadpool) created The Old Guard #1 in 2017. It was a limited comic book series with a triumphant story, great art, and a few surprises along the way. In the words of our favorite top comic book website, "Trapped in an immortality without explanation, Andromache of Scythia - 'Andy' - and her comrades ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services. But in the 21st century, immortality is a hard secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates worse than death" (issue notes GoCollect).

Conclusion:

The Old Guard seems to be here to stay. The first appearance standard copy of the comic book The Old Guard #1 has returned almost positive +80% since its published date 2017. Further, the convention edition has also been profitable and sought after. Either or both are a good short term investment. With over 100 sales the first appearance of The Old Guard #1 has a following, and the best thing about this book is it just hit Netflix on Friday.

Charlize Theron rocks! She brings yet another comic book to movie status like her Atomic Blond movie and did right by the writing staying with most of the original story. Greg Ruka is a force to be reckoned with as a writer. I tend to always bet on good writing (yes, I am biased). That said you don't want to miss out on the movie and comic book that could breed 2-3 other movies. Grab your Scythian ax and cleave through the clutter to buy this short-term investment at your LCS. Hopefully, your immortal speculative body can heal the paper cuts as you cleave your way to profits.
