Specific notes from people who sat with a debut, a variant set, or a crowded roster week.

Open books stacked on a table

These comments refer to named sittings. They are not store ratings, star widgets, or marketplace badges.

The debut sheet that separated two dates

“I had the print first appearance and the NFT debut written as the same year. Lena’s briefing put the digital window on its own line with the UK hour. The character name stayed the same; the milestones stopped colliding.” — Jonah R., Stockport

Research before a comic-night talk

“Chris walked the costume on the listing back to a later armour, not the 1960s first appearance I had assumed from the headline. I changed the talk slides the same evening.” — Adele M., organiser, Northern Quarter

Variants without a countdown

“Samira named three cover treatments and refused to guess how many of each might exist. I used that walkthrough to decide which art I actually wanted to look at, not which one sounded rare.” — Ben C., Bolton

A week with four names

“Roster planning gave each debut its own row. Our group chat stopped treating Thursday as a single event when two characters were landing hours apart.” — Nia P., Manchester

Binder captions after the sitting

“The first-appearance research note is now taped inside the Mylar for the paper issue, with a separate card for the digital debut. Visitors can see I am not claiming the NFT is the 1962 event.” — Hugh T., Altrincham
