To be considered a first appearance it needs to meet all four criteria.
1. Character appearance on more than 1 page.
2. Character appearance in more than 1 panel.
2. Clearly visible character appearance - Shadowy or silhouetted characters are cameos
3. Integral to the plotline in some way.


Anything less than this is a cameo appearance or preview/ad appearance. We are using these criteria to label things throughout the site. Most of the time we will specifically label the cameo with details like "1-panel last page" or "2 panels in shadow"


Examples
Hulk 180 - Wolverine appears in one panel on the last page and he isn't integral to the plot, so it's a cameo.
Defenders 17 - Wrecking Crew appears in one panel over two pages, clearly visible, involved in the plotline. Because it's only one large panel it's a cameo.


Thanks,
Ron
