Always enjoy What If? stories. This Yoda run as been great, I can’t wait to get to this issue! I got this Moon Knight issue just in case the 25th issue ended din some kind of cliffhanger. The Dark Droids event has begun in Star Wars. I’m still not sure if I want to read through this event or wait. But I guess I’ll see when I get to this issue. Bobby has a new run! I think it’s a miniseres. This 25th issue of X-Men seems to have a lot going on in it. Stephen and Clea are having a time. I’m glad that we’re getting these Strange Academy one-shots sine I really loved both runs but wanted more. Death of the Venomverse has begun! I got the first issue of Quest because it seems to be focusing on Indian mythology and I vaguely know of some of the myths from when I was a kid, but I thought I’d get a different POV of them through this. Even though this JSA run is taking its time, I’m enjoying it. I’m enjoying the normal DC titles still. And more of Knight Terrors.

Covers and posters below.

I got this as a gift for someone, so I think I’m going to get it slabbed too. I could wait to get it signed by Anthony Daniels one day, but who knows when I’ll be in his golden presence again, so we’ll see.

They made so many variant for this issue! This is one of the first of the Ross connecting covers of his two sets that are coming. One is of that classic X-Men gatefold cover and the other will be a classic Avengers cover homage. And of course here’s another Brooks corner box cover. And the full version of the wraparound cover is below.

The Fall of X, indeed.

And of course another Ross cover from Doctor Strange. And I’m happy that the three connecting covers for these Strange Academy one-shots are Ramos covers since this title has been his baby. Here is the next Barends cover, but the first Death of the Venomverse even covers. And then the next Nakayama cover for Gargoyles.
