Cameo vs First Full
glorkar Posts: 578 11/12/2021	glorkar Posts: 578 I'm sure this has come up in the past, and will come up again in the future. But after reading this weeks books, this one stuck in my mind. When is a first appearance only considered a cameo? In my mind a cameo is a partial shot of the character, maybe a name drop. But a full image, name and speaking bits seems like a full. . Examples: . Nubia and The Amazons #1 https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/nubia-the-amazons/1/phuybsq 1st Appearance of New Amazons: Andromeda, Zina, Delphine, Karessi, Bia This seems to be noted as their first appearance several pages of images and dialog . Strange Academy #13 (not in guide yet) Gaslamp is named, shown on two pages and has dialog. Everything online is pointing as issue #15 being his first full. So is this a cameo? . Venom #1 (doesn't appear to be in guide yet) Meridius is named, shown on two pages and has dialog. I can find nothing online even referencing him. So is this a cameo? . . edited by glorkar on 11/12/2021

And ya, new Venom 1 not in CPG database yet that I can find.... https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Venom_Vol_5_1 glorkar wrote: I'm sure this has come up in the past, and will come up again in the future.

They aren't a team known as "The New Amazons", it's just a new batch of Amazons.
