Tread lightly. Most of these have stalled over the past 5 days…
interested in 10-20. I used to get the top 20 each Wednesday or Thursday…..haven’t gotten the email in a while.
11 – 20 have for the most part been far more geared towards my collecting desires than the 1 – 10. The 1 – 10 is the hot stuff of the week that generally dies out for the most part in a few weeks/months. Not all die out, but most.
I wait for the 11 – 20
Just got the email. No surprises. Mostly books showing up on other top 10 lists or have already been hot before so likely not sitting in $1 or back issue bins.
Interesting choice of words for Lois Lane 7&8 in regards to 1st app. I thought 7 was deemed more than a cameo?
I am sure it will. She is shown in several panels though and at the end of the book we do see “Kiss of Death” as a name.
You right the first appearance is in #7, the full appearance in her Kis of Death costume is in #8. Same happen with 1:Mystique in Ms.Marvel #16books, you will not find her in Ms.Marvel #16 ..in her real form ..her first appearance is in Ms.Marvel#18
There is only 1 first appearance, when the character first appears.
Tell that to the market.
Although I agree a first appearance is when the character first appears (regardless whether it’s a cameo, hand, shadow, unnamed, etc.), I also understand There is a first time for everything! Even cameos and full appearances. First time in costume, first as a baby, first an adolescent, first time kids are in a character’s Halloween costume…it’s all relevant parts of a character’s history and relevance.
Market decides which ones have value…and I feel that it’s great that so many firsts exist to make the hobby interesting.
Market decides which book is the most valuable, not if it’s an appearance or not. 😉
So you betting on 7 or 8 on this one. Honestly I hate the first appearance game and the first cameo/full first.
Not that my opinion matters but I’d vote 7.
Everyone’s opinion matters.
Back in the day comics told a story in 21 pages for $1 or less. You would introduce a character and they may even put them on the cover of that issue. Now it takes 4 issues or more at $3.99 ea. and they need cliff hangers and new characters showing up at the ends to keep readers interested and engaged to drop another $3.99 next month.
That being said, I’m betting on the set of 7 & 8. Why limit yourself to just one?!
