I haven't read the Eighth Seal but I have to be honest, Something is Killing the Children has gotten worse with each issue.

Those are all books connected to Kid Loki right? Kid Loki doesn't have a show coming. Were those roles cast for the Loki show?

And Tynion would have to be a better writer.

Are the dates provided by the library of congress release dates or files copyright dates. Also the data from this era is not always accurate. It seems odd to me that 240 would be released on a Thursday when all other comics appear to have Tuesday dates. I am not sure we can trust the information on this.

He also has a cameo in What if that came out the same week as X-Men 4.

How does one go about requesting CGC change or add a first appearance to a graded book?

What is the error?

So I have been hunting for these for years and true blues are much harder to find. I see partials allll the time. I still buy them but an all deep blue is much more rare. I have never seen a black one either or an upside down one but I think they exist.

There is a real drive on social media to prove that it is Terry not Tim but so far there is zero evidence to support this. Some are citing DC Fan cites and a book called the Essential Batman Encyclopedia which has a small excerpt where the writer called that character Terry. I doubt he actually read the comic though. Also there have been claims of Tim being an error but there I have not seen this anywhere and how does a toy get made if it is an error? I wonder if reprints changed the name to Terry? The story supports it being a world conjured by the Joker. At the time, in DC comics, Tim Drake was Robin. Maybe Loeb is an insufficiently_thoughtful_person and got confused or maybe he is a genius and threw Tim in there as a joke. I suspect the former to be true. And finally, the Earth is not named so we don't even know it is Earth-12. I would like to know if it was an error but it doesn't appear to be the case. And finally, Batman Beyond appeared 5 years earlier in two books, One Million 80 Page Giant and World's Funnest.

For these to really matter the hologram needs to be all blue. It is pretty common to find them partially blue.

Last Avengers Story 2 is heating up...

Ask your president on that one!

Yup

Hey you quoted me but forgot the quotes!

Times change RMA.

Tell Overstreet and their definition that. Sounds to me like you want it to mean what YOU want it to mean. And the hobby has no accepted definition so it can, and does work however we want it to. If anything my logic is more sound, if we can't all agree on what a first is then let's go by the literal definition ( which just so happens to be the definition supplied by Overstreet! )

Oh we aren't? I am. And someone is buying these crazy slabbed variant fro cover art alone at insane prices. Those are collectors AND flippers.

What does desirability have to do with it. Tell e what is so special about the narrative in 181? It's the cover that mattered then and matters now. You are confusing value with what is right. 181 is worth worth ore but not the first.

That is an opinion for sure! You are correct, comics are a storytelling medium but not ever collector collectors for the story. Some buy for cover art alone right? Some people buy third appearances and others collect last issues no matter what the story is inside. Today, maybe more than ever, collecting is less about the story and more about the rarity of the image. My point is that times change and there is clearly room for the Comics Journals of the world. Don't believe me? Check the market. Even I cannot believe what books like Amazing Heroes 131 go for now!

It ends at published. If a napkin were published so be it. There is a published definition by Overstreet, it has been published in it's terms section for ever. It says nothing about a first needing to occur in a story and the definition predates the internet too!

or had no real forum to do so. Look if the internet were around when Hulk 180 was published what do you think the first appearance would be.

I don't believe " generations of collectors rejected the idea", they just never really though of it before. The internet has helped to create a great number of new avenues for collectors. Ads and previews are just examples of this.

No, see Red Hulk and a host of others. Many collectors might prefer first appearances happen in stories but there is no definition that supports this.

CGC is not the authority.

Cool I wasn't sure. Thanks
