It’s been another one of those times where I’ve behind on reading. I’m not even done with issues from April 26th yet. So again, I’ll be guessing at these issues.

I’m happy that Ivy got more issues. This is the 900th issue of the Batman title! I actually hadn’t noticed that this Peacemaker run was Black Label. As I am still not done with the previous week’s pile, I’ve not gotten to catch up with all the titles that I had to pause on for the past few weeks. But when I get to this pile, I’ll have been caught up and can read those titles normally again (at least until the next event has delayed issues in it). Shazam has a new run in this new DC era.

Lando is the subject of the next ROTJ anniversary one-shot. Yoda and Grievous seem to face off in this Yoda issue. This Doctor Aphra issue is one of those in-between story arc single issues, so I have to get it between getting the volumes. Oh, though, I am caught up on all the Star Wars volumes I had to get done before starting the Crimson Reign event. So, that’s some progress. This Spider-Man issue is the first after the End of the Spider-verse event ended, though when I first saw this issue, I didn’t know that the title would continue past the event. Groot has his own prequel comic, set before he joined the Guardians in the comics. There’s a new Edge of the Spider-verse run. Immortal X-Men makes a return as the Sins of Sinister event ended in April. And the Sons of X is the first one-shot that is leading up to the last (?) arc of this Krakoan age, The Fall of X. We got the next issue in Demon Wars. And we also got the first Cult of Carnage pre-event issue. Cult of Carnage seems to be a title they bring out similar to Edge of the Spider-verse to precede and/or conclude an event of the relating title. And here is the first issue of the Carnage mini-event that is happening through a couple issues of three or so titles.

This is just another of the Spider-verse variants of characters who are not spider characters as if they were. I’m not actually sure why I got this cover beyond it being a Dauterman cover and I just enjoy this design of Wanda, but if that’s all it is, that’s fine. The MMPR/TMNT variant issue is just because I liked the colors and the use of white space in front of these dino versions of the Rangers.

And that window shades variant is here because I’m confused as to why it (and another one from before this) exists. I’ve been getting the window shade covers by Reilly, and I thought he was the only artist doing this theme, but it seems that this artist, Nauck, has done at least two or three of these covers. And it’s just odd that all but two or three of the window shade covers is one artist. If they were switching over to Nauck from Reilly I’d get it, but Reilly is still making them too.

This framed design theme is part of this run, and I’m not getting this title, but I really liked this 2099 Carnage design and the way it was drawn here.

This is the first of the connecting covers by Taurin Clarke! I was so excited to see that he was doing a connecting cover for this mini event!

This is the first movie poster cover that seem to be continuing for this run.

These are almost all the covers for this Demon Wars issue. The other three are incentive covers. I really hope they let her make an omnibus of all these stories that Peach makes for this universe of hers. I already have the library edition of her first run with Demon Days. I hope they do the same for this one.

A lovely cover of baby Groot by Momoko.

Another amazing Frison cover.

And here’s the next Artgerm cover for Batman.
