    I knew that!
    I actually didn't say it was wordless. I just got a kick out of the mental picture of a elementary school teacher reading to kids and the kids clamoring for the teacher to turn the book so they can see the pictures...lol...John Byrne gets 'em again!

    Wait till Claremont gets going again, then we'll have more words!

    Hmm... I've always thought of Byrne as wordier than Claremont.
    Look at that bit about the lake in #16.

    Noticed that you have Wolverine (2010) #6 on your list with Puck being in the issue. Recently purchased the issue without looking first and could not find Puck in the issue at all. Thinking maybe I had the wrong issue (since the date in the comic was 2011) I went hunting for another Wolverine #6 published in 2010 (unsuccessfully). Went back to your list and noticed that you had listed #2-5 as well - which seem to refer to when Wolverine and Puck were in Hell. This matches up with the issues you have listed (even though all have 2011 dates. I rechecked #6 for Puck again and still can't find him. Is this the right issue/storyline and if so where in the world is Puck.

    2010 refers to the Volume as that's the cover date of #1.
    Puck's in 16, rather than 6.

    Thanks for the info. Now it makes sense, and I notice that Wolverine #6 is now off your list. By the way, what are the requirements for inclusions in the appearance section? I have a list of other "comics" that have Alpha Flight shown, but many of them are just showing panels from previous comics, for example - some of the Marvel Spotlights, Marvel Previews, Marvel Ages, etc.

    Michael, Phil tends to only include continuity appearances. If you have a list of other comics, I'd LOVE to see the list. Go ahead and post it here!

    Yeah, the database is just for Original Artwork + Information, so reproduced panels don't count.
    I'd like to add in all the Marvel Age calendar caricatures at some point though, as they do count.

    I'll see if I can find my list. I may have o edit it since many of them may just be showing older panels. I do have a lit of the Marvel Ages which had these. I know at least one of them was a calendar caricature.

    I know Rob's showcased a few on his great site (link in his sig just above) so there are definitely a few.

    Original Sin #0 came out today with a small cameo from The Master, Puck and Guardian in an insane 2pg spread of awesome. $4.99 price point not very good, Marvel. Usually #0 issues go for $0.99, right?

    Also check out the Paolo Rivera variant which is a darn cool image of the Watcher.

    I haven't seen DC or Marvel publish 99 cent comic books for a looooong time (unless they are digital first books). Today's Justice League United #0 was $3.99. At least Original Sin #0 was 33 pages long for $4.99. It was basically a double sized issue of Nova. Any current Sam Alexander Nova fans will enjoy this Original Sin "prologue." I did.

    Now after I typed this, I remember Marvel republishing the first issue of Strikeforce Morituri for 99 cents back in 2012. And other comic companies have published first issues for a $1.00. Aspen Comics had a 10 for 10 initiative last year where the first issues for books like Fathom and Jirni were only $1.00

    Yeah, that cheap cover price got me to buy the first few issues of Jirni.

    It's a great gimmick, and it works.

    They don't tend to.

    Infinity had the free FCBD prologue (which was reprinted in #1 anyway(?) with #1 being $4.99)
    Age Of Ultron had the free FCBD #0.1 (which was a reprint of Avengers #12.1 which was $2.99)
    Avengers Vs X-Men #0 was $3.99
    Fear Itself had Book Of The Skull which was $3.99
    Siege had Siege:The Cabal which was $3.99
