  1. Also,

    Now for the Black Order (Cull Obsidian)

    "NA#8, we get appearances of 4 of the 5 members of the Black Order: Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, and Proxima Midnight (man these names rule). One panel each. Missing is Supergiant (Probably because that name blows). They are not named, just a brief glimpse is shown.

    NA #9, The Black Order is on the cover. I repeat, they are on the cover. All five.the book is Titled "The Cull Obsidian" (Thanos' name for the Black Order). In the Infinity series, usually in each book they would have a roll call of all the characters in said book after a "Previously in Infinity" first page, the Black Order is in the roll call for the first time in this Saga. Shows Supergiant (First?). Thanos gives them their orders and they proceed to whip major badonkadonk on the MU. All except poor Black Dwarf, who can't handle the T'challa. After that rousing introduction to this space opera, the Black Order takes a bow and has a bio page at the end of the story, each member getting a little write up. So, First time shown together, first time being named the Black Order, first cover, and first time showing their names (except maybe Corvus Glaive, is he in the FCBD Infinity Preview? I don't have that). The Black Order owns this book.

    Two questions/thoughts came to me while reading these books. First, the back covers make for some interesting grading. NA #8 has a ad for THE Bureau video game. The ad incorporates fingerprints and smudges in it's design. Drove me crazy wondering if I put those there lol. And as for the other INfinity/NA books, many have a Harley Davidson ad that has a white border but has dirt/smoke in the design. lol smh

    Also, what if the Free Digital Copy stickers are missing. Is that considered an incomplete when grading? "

    NA 10 is Thanes first appearance.

    marvel have said it themselves.

    infinity 4 is first named 

    The argument is...does a character have to be named to be considered first appearance? I dont think so.

     

    I wrote this on another board:

    "Hello, long time lurker, first time poster. I pulled these books out over the weekend and did some reading. Yes, the Marvel Wiki says the first appearance of Thane is NA #10. Facts are three small panels in Inhuman form, does not speak, not named "Thane".

    In Infinity #4, the book is titled "Thane". We get one page of him in Inhuman form, where he is called "Healer" and he speaks on this page. One full page of his body mutating after Black Bolt triggers a Terrigen bomb. We then get a two panel page of Healer transformed into the Thane we all know and love. So this issue he speaks, appears in multiple pages, and transforms into Thane. Could be labed "First issue as Thane".

    Also Infinity #4 rocks because Thor and Cap are cool as hell in this. "
