ADAMANTIUM Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 4 minutes ago, Crimebuster said: You guys ever read Marvel's original Star Wars series? Towards the end of the series, there's this big new character named Bey that turns out to be a childhood friend of Han's. He's hyped up in the stories as being a super famous, important figure in the rebellion. A big new character! The three-part storyline introducing him was supposed to run through #98-100. However, there was some production delay. So they made the completely bizarre decision to publish #99 and #100 as planned, and then print the first part of the three-part arc in #101 as a flashback! For #98, they just printed a random fill-in inventory story. #101 was written first, intended to come out first, and the story comes first chronologically in continuity. So does that make #101 his first appearance, even though he already appeared in #99 and #100? Interesting. it is fickle and I don't think that there is certain parameters, I think each situation is unique... That said those are interesting facts about the Star Wars comic...

A first appearance refers to publication order, not continuity order and not popularity. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't explain much of the thinking in the Copper section. But, Annual 14 came first and is the first appearance. 26 pages was not necessary.

rexinnih Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Well, since I have an Annual 14 and don't have 266, I'm a bit biased but curious to see where those 9.9's land. Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be very interesting to watch, it'd be worth laying down a few predictions on final prices... Annual 14. 6 9.9's X-men 266 there are 15 9.9's. Price range is anyones guess, but I'm thinking they could go $10k up to $25k each. The big thing here is the split. Which one will go for more than the other..... rexinnih 1 Link to post Share on other sites
