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 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
