Among the many first appearances in film for 2017, one character stood above the rest.
Crowded with impressive nominees, the ComicBook.com Golden Issue Award for Best First Appearance was a difficult decision. After tallying the ComicBook.com staff's votes in the category, one young character emerged victorious, despite competition from Ego the Living Planet, Vulture, Korg, and Valkyrie.
And the winner of Best First Appearance is...
X-23 as portrayed by Dafne Keen in Logan!
