There's never another like your first, is there? Josh, Ron, and Conor talk about their favorite first issues, and what it is that makes a great start to a comic book series.

The first issue is the holy grail of comic books. It's your first chance to find something new and exciting. The first issue represents hope of what might be. There is an art to the first issue. It must grab you and pull you in, and give you just enough that you feel satisfied but want more. Some writers are masters of the first issue. Some first issues stick with you for years after, all others struggling to measure up. This week, iFanboy talks about what it is that's so great about first issues, their favorites, and who does the best first issues.

You never forget your first.
