Welcome back everyone. Thank you for stopping by to check out the latest TF. You can also find me here: @comic_book_true_firsts
A quick word on first appearances. I realize that sometimes, mentioning a comic that flies in the face of conventional wisdom leads to sour responses. This occurs for many reasons and I look forward to discussing any comic with any reader.
In the case of Negative Burn 7 there is no way around the fact that the characters from Proof first appears in its pages. Alex Grecian simply created his series for image later and gave it the title Proof. I love a good argument but in this case there is nothing to argue. People are paying around double for Proof 1 over Negative Burn 7. That doesn’t change the facts. We are all better served if we deal in reality instead of being slaves to our own wishes and desires.
OK on to the pics,
Enjoy!
Doctor Strange 17
First appearance of the God of Dogs, First appearance of Bats The Ghost Dog as possessed by the God of Dogs.
The God of Dogs is sure to be a hit this week. I would like to thank CBSI contributor, Jack Kornblatt for mentioning this issue of Dr Strange to me. I don’t normally read Strange but this one was pretty good. I would hope his first would spark some interest in another undervalued dog, Bats the Ghost Dog! While the God of Dogs is a dope character he is not the first dog god in Marvel. Keep reading…

If you are looking for a more recent first
Spider-Man Noir Eyes Without a Face 1, 1B
First appearance of Joseph Robbie Robertson ( E-90214 )
Deadline is reporting the casting of Lamorne Morris as Joseph ( Robbie ) Robertson for the TV show. Remember though this is the Earth-90214 character NOT the 616 Robertson.
Time Bandits
First appearance
A new trailer from Apple TV gets you on my list.
Sergio Aragone’s Solo
First appearance of Bloody Mary ( Folklore )
What a strange place for a first. It is odd to me that she never had an earlier appearance. Bloody Mary is getting a new film.
Superboy 199
First appearance of Adam Orion ( The Hunter )
Casting Calls for a character fitting this description have lead to some speculation that Adam Orion could appear in Peacemaker Season 2. This one is highly speculative. Be careful.
Bad dads could easily continue to thematically run through the show so we may as well ad Adam’s Dad Otto who first appeared here. If Adam shows up I suspect dear ol’ dad won’t be far behind.
WCW 1
First appearance of the wresting company
Outlandish rumors are starting to swirl around WWE changes to televised content including my favorite where a new show, or current one, will be rebranded as WCW! However cool that would be it is unlikely to happen.
Shrek 1
First comic appearance
We are getting another Shrek Movie. it is possible he had some sort of comic appearance in a magazine well prior to this Dark Horse comic, but I could not confirm this so here is what I have. Look for a newsstand if Shrek is your thing.
—–OTHER STUFF—–
This section is reserved for all the other stuff I am looking for this week. True Firsts may or may not appear.
Ghost Dog
If we are talking ghost dog comics this is my favorite. If you have not seen the film do it.
Covers I am looking for this week include;
Brandon Graham’s Moonray Hardcovers from 2023, Filya Bratukhin’s cover for the 9th printing of Void Rivals ( color and black/white connecting are badass ), Crusaders 18 has what is possibly the best Four Horsemen cover ever and finally, Deadpool Max 2 is here for the insanely bad cover that I cannot stop looking at.
See ya next week!
