That gets me interested! (Moreso, I'm sorry, than a 'small cameo from The Master, Puck and Guardian'; is that a flashback anyway?)
I might pick it up, if I remember.

Yeah... I've just picked up a couple of appearances on my list that were, like, single floating heads in one panel of one page. I wish I knew in advance which is which.

The wiki should help with that and I'll make a dent in it soon.
April-June are the busiest months of my working year so my entries have been pretty erratic but I've got 4 week's holiday in July or August so I'll crack on then.
The few I've done will show what I mean.
The Master, Puck, and Guardian are Flashback? Now I'm confused...
No actual Flashback aka Gardner Monroe in issue. The Master, Guardian, and Puck scene is just one of many flashback, future, and alternate reality scenes.
The only times I remember Guardian and Puck fighting the Master together were AF 130 v1 and AF 8 vol 4 but they were never together in same fight scene with the Master. So maybe this is an alternate reality scene? The closest scene I can recall would be Puck and synth Mac fighting a synth Master in AF 2 v2. Now I'm being nitpicky.
Yep, the ones you've put up lately tell me if it's a major appearance, a cameo, or whatever.
Thanks.
I'm gonna figure they just thought 'Alpha fought the Master, let's put two Alphans against the Master'.
I was referring to other publishers. I recall Greg Pak's Battlestar Galactica #0 selling for $0.25 (Dynamite Entertainment) and StarCraft #0 given away for free (Wildstorm) and Dungeons&Dragons #0 selling for $1 or free at NYCC2010 (IDW). The concept is that you give a promo comic to tease in new readers for a low price. Makes more sense to me than starting over at #1 every 8 issues. I wish I could remember more examples of this situation.
That makes more sense Rob. If Marvel was not giving away a free new Guardians of the Galaxy book and also a new Rocket Raccoon book next weekend for FCBD, maybe they would have given away Original Sin 0 instead???
I can see what you're saying, and Marvel have done similar with Origins Of Siege and the 25c issues they did in the earlt 2000's, but OS #0 is more of a prologue than a promo-tease.
I've pretty much accepted $3.99 as the standard price point nowadays so I won't be surprised when everything goes up to $4.99 in a few years...
I'm actually pretty used to $4.99 books already.
Of course, I don't pay a huge amount of attention to the US cover price, since it's more of a guideline in Australia.
(I keep automatically typing 'here in Australia', but I'm in Colorado right now. Hunh.)

Now... this is a strange one...
I've recently been catching up on a lot of New Warriors and in Volume 3 #3 I discovered something that's... possibly... an appearance.
Now, back when Alpha Flight Volume 3 was running Skottie Young was hired to draw two covers for the Dave Ross fill-in issues. Only one of these saw print; his Sasquatch cover to #8.
The Marvel Previews magazine with the solicit to #7 showed work in progress of his cover that never actually graced the issue in the end. (I've been searching up & down my house for the issue [which actually led me to find some other stuff I'll post elsewhere] and can't find it and I think the scan of it was either lost to the sands of time when we moved the site to this format, or stuck on an ancient hard-drive in my loft somewhere; but for reference the cover was

I believe that Skottie may have included it in one of his convention artbooks at the time and sold prints of it, but it never actually saw publication other than that.
Until (I've just discovered) the aforementioned NW #3:

So tenuous but does it count...?
On the same theme:

It counts. Nice find!
I think I have that Previews magazine too. I'll try to dig it out also.
EDIT: I found it! Issue 11 from July 2004, soliciting September 2004.
