I feel this should be a true first app. I feel this is a better investment than #6. Does anyone have an opinion about this? I might be off of the 5 pages. I have not read it in awhile. Another cheap investment book could be Punisher #4 from the 1987 ongoing series. It is the first app. of Microchip. He is the Punishers tech guy like Q for James Bond. I think the word "appearance" is often times taken too literally, meaning a full visual shot of the character being needed. For me, an original story that makes everyone aware of a never before seen character, but in reference only, is more of a "first mention", but if it includes even one panel that shows their likeness, it should be considered the 1st app. When a label states either "cameo" or "full appearance", I'm not at all bothered. For anyone new to comics, this is information. That said, 1st appearance shouldn't, and doesn't automatically mean more valuable. Even though 180 is gaining a larger "fan base" (probably because it's more affordable), the Market has decided that 181 is the more desirable; Wolverine is on the cover, he's part of the whole story, and we can see what he can do. Applying the Hulk 180-181 scenario to X-Factor 5 & 6, five and one eighty kind of trade off. There is more dialogue and panels in 5, but not much in the way of likeness, whereas 180 we get a full shot, but not much text/dialogue. 6 & 181 gives us everything. Then there's Jimmy Olsen #134 and Forever People #1, with only a 3 month gap between issues. Right now 9.8 examples of both are separated by $5,000 (in favor of J.O. 134). Bottom line- The Market will always decide which comic is more valuable.

It's been a long time since I read X-Factor #5. The best I can remember is seeing Apocalypse in shadow on the last page. I honestly don't remember him appearing more than once in that issue.

	That Superman Ali book is scorching for obvious reasons, killer artwork doesn't hurt either. I have a high grade Whitman variant of this one, def a keeper! My second favorite treasury next to Supes vs Spidey

	Because introducing the Weapon X program would be a good way to introduce non-comic readers to X-23. Announcement came two days ago, and prices are already climbing. 9.8's are going for $150 already, I paid $50 for one a month ago Quote: Originally Posted by Despain I like this book too, but why would bringing X-23 to the big screen make MCP #72 go up in value? Quote: Originally Posted by qube I've been buying these up lately.

It's been touched on in the movies before, but not extensively. I pick them up cheap on eBay and in $1 bins when I find them.

Perfect timing.
