Why this issue matters

First appearance (promotional) of Michael Badilino - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

First appearance (promotional) of Vengeance - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

First appearance (promotional) of Strange - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

First appearance of Godkin Straith - the earliest non-flashback appearance on record for this character.

First appearance of Karmilla Trig - the earliest non-flashback appearance on record for this character.

First appearance of Wrath - the earliest non-flashback appearance on record for this character.

First appearance (promotional) of Jinx - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

First appearance (promotional) of William Hastings - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

First appearance (promotional) of Outcast - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later. An independent public reference points at X-Men #33; because our earliest record here is not a standard story, this is most likely an indexing artifact rather than a genuine dispute.

First appearance (promotional) of Stonecold - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

First appearance (promotional) of Johann Bessler - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

Before you buy

  • For variant covers, match the listing photo against the variant list on this page before paying a ratio-variant price.
  • Pressable defects (spine stress, corner blunting) matter to graders; ask for photos at an angle.
