Ok, so I've gotten back in to comics after 25 years. I got rid of most of my collection at that time, but I kept some. Why I kept this one, I will never know.

WTTB! Also, clearly, you kept this book because it is awesome! That one guy is wearing thigh high boots and some sort of diver's mask. What's not to like? I can't decide if these are meant to be a part of the 90's comics style, or a critique of said style. Let's go with critique.

Never even heard of Solson until this thread. Craptastic!

A lot of licensed properties use stories adapted from the original medium.

Yeah I thought of that. But that didn't fit with my amusing observation

No crappy 1st issue thread would be complete without these beauties. 

First thing I thought of when I started reading this thread. I'm sure I can add at least 4 other from the new universe.

[Morganmi]

Oh I've got more of them somewhere too.  Just the first 4 I found in my drek  boxes.

I know.  Incredible that there aren't more mustelid-influenced characters.

They tend to be very tough and aggressive animals. Perfect anti-heroes.

Ah yes, I remember this one well.

"We're gonna do a die-cut cover!"

"Oh yeah? Like a cool cut in the center that reveals a scene from the first page? something like that?"

"Nope. We're going to cut the cover so it's the outline of this dude's ENORMOUS NOGGIN!"

A shame that this classic wasn't a first issue...

Ha I knew what was coming even before the image loaded! Yes! That one is actually pretty fun, if I recall they incorporate the hole into the design of the pages, right? I haven't looked at that one in many years.

Many Kirby fans like The Eternals, and Rom seems to be popular reading material on the boards.

Rom is great

I dare anyone to rival my crappy collection of first issues that most humans have never seen all together in one place. Collectors items? Maybe if you're drunk. 

I got these all in a large lot last year that was more than worth it, but that doesn't change the fact that I now have these in my house. They demand to be viewed and will no longer hide in the shadows. 

I still feel like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person for buying EVERY #1 from IMPACT! comics, even though I could see from the covers that they weren't very high qualty books, and the publisher was just tyring to cash in on the Comic Explosion going on at the time.

 

However isn't Robocop #1 actually valuable, assuming it's in mint condition at least?  I have Robocopy #1 in my collection, and also thought it was a garbage book so I never even bothered bag/boarding it...  But Then I checked 'gocollect' recently, and noticed that Robocop #1 in a CGC 9.8 has actually sold recently for liiek $100?!?!?!

I think one of those was a huge book back in my early collecting days,still has a bit of value..annual one maybe,first Elementals?

Edit,my brain was sorta on the right wave,but still wrong'.I must have picked both books up fromthe same discount bin same day

I love this book. It's definitely not as hot as it was back in the day, but nice copies can still fetch $10-$20. I pick it up when I find it in a dollar bin for sure.
