Has "Image Scene" #2 been seen? I found "Image Scene" #1 in Data Base and added #2 as missing, though my page does not show I added. Not sure of a couple things; is this continued from the 1994 volume and if it will be accepted in the data base since it is more of a catalog?

Thanks in advance for replies.

Not sure if that's the same as the other THE Image Scenes, as those seem to be thick mags/tpbs that list Image previews for the upcoming year, vs yours is a thin monthly catalog, looks like Feb 2025? Normally they don't list those, same with Previews and Advance comics. The others may have been grandfathered in, since CPG doesn't list stuff with less than 50% comic story, The odd thing about the other 2 is that one is categorized as a magazine, and the other a Trade Paperback, and both are #1 one-shots. To me, both should be under 1 result for THE Image Scene like it says on the cover (not just Image Scene), and then listed by the year, as neither say #1 on the cover.
1993: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/image-scene/1magazine/pmsqkq
1994: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/image-scene/1trade_paperback/pmsqkp
and there's a 1995 one too. CPG values may be off too, as people are asking crazy prices for them on e**y, and a 1995 one sold for $59.95 this month. No recent sales for the others, but holy cow, $180 to $495 for the 1993? really? It's just a catalog.
so an admin can tell you if yours qualifies or not, but I don't think it does, nor should it, and neither should the other 3 based on current standards.

it's not a continuation of the '93-95 ones, as those were previews of the upcoming YEAR for Image comics, and the new series is monthly, just like the free DC, Marvel and other monthly catalogs, which CPG doesn't list either cuz there's not 50% comic story. No value to them most of the time, but sometimes people call out 'real 1st appearance of so and-so' in them and ask a fortune. You could claim the same for nearly every issue of Diamond's Previews catalogs and the old Advance Comics from Capital City.

I was just going to add a request for the Image Scene books, new publications, they are promo books so they need their own spot. Issue 1 (January 2025) & 2 (February 2025) are available. UPC 709853042433-00111 & -00211, Free for price.

I was excited to get this with my monthly orders, but then disappointed as it is just promos as the Marvel & DC books are. They had the downloadable Image catalogue in the past with sometimes 4 pages of the art of the upcoming books, and was about 160 pages. I guess real first prints of titles were the possibility.

Anyway, I have the scans also for the first two issues and will include.

but they don't qualify for CPG standards, they don't have 50% STORY, and if they added these they'd have to add thousands of past DC Connect, Marvel Previews, Diamond's Previews and other monthly catalogs. ain't gonna happen I don't think.

There is already all of the DC Connect books in the database, and most if not all of the Marvel Free Previews books, so that has already happened for the most part. I guess we must leave it up to the powers that be to make the final decisions on these kind of promo books.

ok, my bad, I hadn't ever searched for them cuz all I've seen by admins is that stuff like that doesn't qualify. I thought maybe those were old additions grandfathered in before they changed the standards, but I see they're from the last few years. so me confused, need admin to explain contradiction. if they add the new Image ones too, fine with me, was just going by what I've read before.
