Agents of Atlas War of the Realms is starting to move

"And now, we will fight!"

I know it's not Modern (but then neither are the other Aliens and Predator books being discussed), but any thoughts on the significance of Uncanny X-Men #155, the first appearance of the Brood, which were basically an Aliens rip-off? Aliens/X-Men might be a cool crossover.

yep. I need to get back to that at some point

There is an entire thread regarding books that were direct-only with a UPC.

My general take on something like this is that a cover appearance on a comic (rather than a new magazine about comics) is Creative content (whereas a cover of a magazine like Wizard or Marvel Age is Editorial or Marketing content), and therefore is generally going to count as a first appearance and be the desired book, regardless of whether the character appears in the story. But that means you're going to have another key book, where the character first appears in the story. For example, Kamala Khan's first appearance as Ms Marvel is desired both on the second print of Captain Marvel 17 and in Marvel Now Point 1. Gwenpool isn't at all related to the story in the comic that she first appeared on the cover of, and that was the hot book.

Here's a fun fact about Bowie, conveyed to me by someone who's worked for the Henson company. During the filming of Labyrinth, Bowie refused to wear the codpiece that the costume department made for his outfit. And in some shots focused on the children, whom he was standing next to, that's apparently quite obvious. You're welcome.

Considering the misogyny I've noticed in comics fandom, it's not always obvious.

Yeah, I sold off my GOTG #1 CGC 9.6 for a decent amount. Hopefully when we get closer to a third movie releasing there will be another spike

If the charges are legit, I'd hardly say that Ron is the one that's worthy of sympathy.

True. Had that particular issue been selling for a premium?

Any thoughts on why Annihilation: Conquest Star-Lord #1 doesn't go for more? It's the first Groot in continuity, which is the one that popularized Groot. I would think that would be a sound alternative to Tales to Astonish.

I think the one massively undervalued 25th anniversary frame issues is New Mutants 45; that's one of the best single-issue stories of the Copper Age.

I was disappointed that Marvel Tales didn't last long enough to get around to reprinting this run of this series. I really wanted to see a logo for MARVEL TALES STARRING THE ALL NEW, ALL DARING PETER PARKER THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN.

True. But the first in continuity and the first issue of her own title will likely get a bump on any news; not as much as the first appearance, certainly, but they're still keys for that character.

A CGC 9.6 of the last issue sold for $250, and ungraded there are multiple results around $150

There was a tweet by one of the Milestone creators suggesting that Static would be coming back soon. Seems like a really good time for it. Maybe we'll see the whole line return. Prices for the late issues are crazy.

First in comics but not in continuity. (That would be Uncanny 193)

add Munden's Bar (1988) I need to see if the Sable television series is available to stream. I loved it at the time. Not sure if it holds up. I remember thinking the theme was awesome.

CGC is not completely consistent with ampersands vs. "and". The 1997 Quantum and Woody series (which only ever had "and" in the title, even though later series swapped in a "&"), is listed in the census both with "and" and an ampersand

Considering the news is from 9 years ago and it's still in development, probably never.
