New character Miracle Molly in Batman

So now I wonder if the folks who said that she only partially appears in the book, and only in 2 panels were purposefully misleading folks.

That’s a first full if I ever saw one.

I hope not but anything’s possible. Probably still push 108 anyway cause they’re invested.

Classic cameo. Small part of character shown, no significant story involvement.

For me, the debate these days isn’t cameo vs full, it’s which book will the market demand - the cameo or the full?

Buy both (buy low)… wait and see which one wins out (sell high)…

Since 106 will catch more people by surprise, I’d venture to guess that becomes the more sought after book.

I read this last night and I would consider it a full 1st appearance. Definitely more than a 1 panel cameo.

So if wolverine appeared in 3 panels in IH180 you’d still consider that a cameo? That’s Laughable.

Don’t laugh. Just go back through the history of collecting, and ask yourself what makes a cameo? I’m inclined to think Wolverine’s one panel app in 180 is more of substance than the three panels Molly gets in 106.

But, again, that’s a secondary debate. The trick for me is to try to ID the book that ends up being the biggie. And poyo’s advice to grab both is probably best.

Yeah its THIS main reason here I grabbed multiples because whatever WE decide is pointless. The market will dictated what book is hot and I’ll gladly sell either one of them to those who missed out.

Haha… yup. Buying at cover, if you get stuck with a few cameo books that don’t pan out, you hopefully make up the cost by selling the others that won out the battle of the more desirable with mad profits… :slight_smile:

And… even if a book is deemed a cameo by the market, you may be able to move the book deemed as first full and the cameo. Win/win.

These are already going for over cover on eBay (#106)–or at least you can’t easily find them for cover there; no new sales over cover but all listings I see are, but you can still get them for less than cover at TFAW if anyone wants up to 3 more: Batman #106 Cover A

…and 108 will be first cover if nothing else.

Not necessarily. Exclusives could still pop up for 107, whether she’s in there or not.

With a FOC of April 4, Batman #108 isn’t going to catch anyone by surprise. Retailers will be prepared as they were with Batman #92.

I don’t really think places do store exclusives for the Batman run tho. I can’t even remember any that have been done

Remember…G.I. Joe #11 is a Destro Cameo appearance…

Destro has 15+ panels of dialogue and is obviously part of the story…they just don’t show his face!

Or nothing else being 106 2nd print…?

Doubt DC would shoot their pre-sales in the foot with such a move give how far out 108 FOC is though…

I’m confused about whether or not I will receive any copies from TFAW. I clicked on the link to pre-order them, says that I already have them pre-ordered… but also states that something went wrong (which is what happened when I FIRST tried to pre-ordered, which is why I tried a second time. )
