Not technically a first issue and not even a full-length comic, but Spider-Man’s first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 is, well, amazingly perfect!

Definitely, my next choice would be...
Witchblade
(1995)
Reading many of the choices in this thread, maybe the title of the board ("Comics Should Be Good") isn't properly recognized?
What others said: TMNT 1 and Amazing Fantasy 15. Sandman 1 and maybe Bone 1.
If you’re not talking about #1’s, my vote is for Cap #444, and Brubaker’s Captain America volume which began ‘Winter Soldier’.
As much as I love TMNT #1, does anyone else think that a self-contained story that straightforward could ever be published today? Especially for a first issue? I'm not usually one to complain about multi-issue arcs, too much, but there's something about one-and-dones that I miss dearly.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
Definitely, my next choice would be...
Daredevil
(2011)

Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Casaday definitely
Beware of spies traveling through your multiverse especially if they wear a 4
Hopefully this counts, but my next choice would be...
Mister Miracle Special
(1987)
