It says 'this is a collectible' on the back of the comics, yes?
Well, collectibles are valued by rarity and condition, so maybe if you turn the pages over and over again, you can reduce the quality of the condition of the comics.
Maybe tearing the pages if they are pulled the wrong way? This idea is pointless but a bit of fun. 
And maybe if the comics were to go up in price after a certain amount of time, then the condition of them could dictate exactly how much the selling rate is.

If that came true I would never read my comics.
I like it, but it may be difficult to... do. |

I'm unsure about this idea. It matches real life, but if you want to read it again you'll have more chance of destroying the comic, making it pointless to buy in the first place.

It would make it more realistic.
But there comes a time when realism isn't the best option. This idea, I guess, goes past sensible realism and dwells among the annoyingly realistic ideas.

Well, the awesome Comic book guy who lives with his mom in my town says never to read Classic Comic book, but he says you can use Tweezers.
Then he said something else but his mom was calling him for Dinner  |

You are correct.
That would put people off reading them, which isn't good at all.

...Unless you started advertising DRUGS!
I know it's an extreme, but I had to cover it. |

Hey now, Vyv. I like it.
And yeah, maybe you could keep the comic till they aren't sold anymore, wait a few...months, and then sell 'em!

Thats what I said to Ioji! He says its apparently not possible to do for now. But I definitely support this idea.

It's a creative idea, I like it.
But I'm afraid it won't see the light of the day, people would stop reading comics to keep them in good condition (since you can only buy one copy of each issue).
