Yup, you guessed it, still behind.

I’m intrigued by the current story in Scarlet Witch. We got another Halloween themed special from Marvel with another Crypt of Shadows one-shot. She-Hulk got a new run. I think this Catwoman issue is the final issue for the Gotham War event. This is Superman’s 850th issue, I actually forgot that, I may have to get another copy. I’m wondering how Swamp Thing and City Boy are going to interact. And I think this is the last Golden Age issue 1 we have with Jay Garrick. I think more than half of this pile were variants. I may need to watch out for that, haha.

Again, these Barends covers for this Ghost Rider run are just so good. And here’s the next New Champions variant. I really like the colors and contrast of both riders.

I just really like the cover for that Avengers Inc. The Hulk cover is just another fun out of the frame design. This CotV A cover is here just because it has Bishop and Cable on the cover. They were my favorite characters from the 90’s animated series.

So many fantastic covers for this new run!

I love that Jen Bartel is continuing to be the artist for the main covers, and I like that they are in a different format than the previous covers, though I would have bee happy if she continued with that design format. I almost missed that that next variant was an Andolfo cover, it’s just a fun cover. I think I have other covers by Rian Gonzales, so this hooked me. And of course another Leirix cover. There are 4 Leirix covers in these piles!

I love this Sirens’ cover, I wish it were a foil variant though! Another Andolfo cover for Gargoyles. And a Rahzzah cover!

It was a double Nakayama week with these two.

So many covers from artists I love. This was a pricey trip to the comic book store for me, haha. Taurin doing a great job with Cyborg. In-Hyuk Lee continuing with these City Boy covers. There’s the second Leirix cover with Hawkgirl. Look at that amazing JL vs Godzilla vs Kong cover by Mattina. Look at it. There were two amazing gatefold covers that were late for this issue, I can’t wait to get them! And of course there’s another legacy themed cover for Nightwing.

These were both variants I got just for the covers as I don’t subscribe to this title.

Of course another Barends cover. And I love when we get these type of foil emblem covers!

Speaking of foil, here’s the last foil cover of these Golden Age covers.
