I definitely need to get a copy of Hulk #340. I also love Wolverine #8 where he and Hulk are dressed in tuxedos. The Marvel Comics Presents series also has a lot of cool Wolverine covers, I just don't know if we're gonna have the Weapon X storyline show up in the MCU. For more characters spotlights, there's Thor, Loki, Fantastic Four, Doom, Silver Surfer, Galactus.

Great 👍video i understand you pick the one's you choose but really good underrated comics of wolverine and older than WOLVERINE 27 with Jim Lee doing the artwork as well are the ALPHA FLIGHT series and i think that was some of Jim Lee's first marvel work as well very underrated more than anything else.

That's awesome! Which one are you missing?

Hulk 180 is the first appearance of Wolverine. People call it a “cameo” but a cameo appearance is by definition the appearance of a Known Character in a small role. When Wolverine first appears in Hulk 180 it cannot be considered a cameo appearance because he is not an a established and known character, therefore it is his first appearance.

@Swagglehaus

3 жыл бұрын

I agree that Hulk 180 is wolverine's "1st apperance" and that maybe the word "cameo" is not a good one. But I do think having terms to make distinctions is a good thing to have "1st Minor Appearance" or "1st Full Appearance" are helpful for people to know what they are buying.

One of my favorite Wolverine covers is Uncanny X-men #234. The Wolverine/Brood by Marc Silvestri is 🔥

Omg, Wolverine is such a beloved character! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get a nice copy of Hulk 181 because even a CGC .5 is going for over $500 and that is the bottom of the barrel! At least I was able to get Hulk 180 CGC 8.5 for $600 last year. 👍🏼 Man, that Wolverine #27 is a killer cover! I forgot about it...need to get my hands on it!!!

When is the 1st time we see him full body? It’s 180. In any other aspect of life we call that an appearance. I think the main reason collectors can’t get over the special vocabulary terms is they already invested hundreds of thousands (collectively) on 181 and would loose big if things change.

@darthsneaky

Full body doesn't mean full appearance. It's more about how much the character influences the story of the book.

@moiseschavez4445

180 - First appearance, that is, to appear. 181 - First story. That’s how non-collectors would understand it. Any change in that vocabulary is jargon.

There are those who probably feel protective of their investment and don't want to call 180 the "1st" appearance...but in the end I still think 181 will always be the book the market chases.

The Swag... long time viewer, supporter of your content. Now listen... These books you are boasting, aren't readable. These are all purely spec books. If you wanted to get people interested in comic books, they have to enjoy reading them. All 5 (6) of these books, today... are terrible terrible reads. Comic book spec will wind you up in the poor house in the long term.
