I can’t actually get to this issue of War College even if I were caught up since issue 4 never came in last month. I’m really enjoying this Yoda run. We got the next RotJ one-shot focusing on the Empire. Things are going crazy in Venom I suppose, and I know that the mutants aren’t enjoying the newly upgraded sentinels. I keep wondering when people will figure out what’s going on with Colossus. Loki has a new run,, his runs are always fun. This is the first prelude to the Fall of X. Events are still at it. Can’t wait to start this Peacemaker run! Still loving this Ivy run. Excited to start the Dawn of DC (it’s literally the next bunch of issues in my huge catch-up pile). This era now includes a new Steel run! And here is Flash 800! Wonder Woman 800 got pushed a week.

Covers and posters below. And now I’m all caught up! Well, caught up on posting. It will be a while before I’m caught up on reading. Though, there will be a movie post on Monday night (Tuesday morning really).

I saw this cover and I thought it just looked fun, I like all the colors ad it’s just nice.

I’ve seen this artists’ work on a few covers over the past few years, though I never really took notice till he did the main cover for Star Wars: Visions 1. It just looked great. So when I saw this, I thought I’d get it.

The next corner box cover.

The next connecting cover for this Iron Man run. I think this may be the penultimate of these covers. So it will be an 8 cover-long connecting sequence. And this is just a great cover of Riri.

Here is the second collage cover. Can’t wait to have them in one photo.

Of course there is a wonderful Artgerm cover of Lady Loki. Here is a windowshades cover confusingly by Nauck instead of Reilly. And the last cover I liked because of the legacy of the Loki’s.

The next TC connecting cover.

I’m so glad they decided to make variants of the main covers but make them poster variants.

I loved the use of white space in this cover. It just works really well.

Another Batman Artgerm! Yeah, it’s weird not doing this for a month, I’ve forgotten twice to put the same artists covers together on these posts. Oh well, I’ll get it next time.

This is just such a strong cover for a first issue. Steel is such a great.

The main cover is all legacy of Wally, so, of course, I love it! The next is another Nakayama cover, brilliant. and the third one is a foil cover. It looks gorgeous with the foil reflected in that last photo.

Now it’s time for posters! These ones were ones that I ordered specifically, so they were rolled up and not folded. This cover for this annual is gorgeous.

I always love when I see a Mr. Garcin cover. Certainly a favorite collage artist. The covers are always creatively designed and perfected represent the legacy of the artists who have come before who drew each of these characters.

I certainly didn’t expect a poster for The Flash movie! And here it is! Though the way they sent it folded was weird, the folds were in strange places.

Also unexpected! You may recognize these Dan Mora designs from a few months ago. These were in the promo art for this new era in DC and the top row of characters had all those variants for that first issue that came out then, and I’d been waiting for the younger characters to have covers and haven’t seen any hint at that happening yet. So getting these bookmarks was a nice substitute. I may frame them or something. They just look great together. I think I said this before, but I wouldn’t have minded if all the books just switched to the legacy characters at that point and the older characters took a backseat for while. Maybe the regulars have to leave earth for a long period of time and would have their own JL title (they could have started a new run of JL Odyssey) that they all shared while the legacies take over the main titles.
