This week was huge! I had to get the step-ladder! Also, a couple of these covers (the grey poly-bagged ones) are NSFW, so, you’ve been warned.

The cover of Shazam asks what is that and I don’t know, haha. I think this is the last Blue Beetle issue but I thought it was 12 issues, so we’ll see? Absolute Power rages on. We got a new Gotham City Sirens run! Also, a new Sweet Paprika one-shot to follow from last year’s. Matt seems to have some Kingpin troubles. Storm has joined the Avengers! The Venom War event has begun! And Uncanny X-Men got a new run in this new era.

I loved the chibi BoP. And Nakayama made another great cover!

Szerdy drew such a fantastic cover here! And this is the next connecting cover for the event.

The details in his drawings is amazing. I usually get his tattoo variants more than his other covers but I liked this one.

So many covers!

The other two are part of collections of course. But I really liked the action figure variant here. It’s probably the only one I’ll get of the others. The Harley one is one of the Swimsuit covers, one of the three I want. I may already have one or both of the others. And the Catwoman one looks great and the artist is doing more covers for the other issues, but I liked this one the best.

NSFW COVERS BELOW.

I don’t get NSFW covers often at all, but I knew that an artist I follow was doing two covers for this comic and while looking at the covers I saw this first one and liked it a lot. The shading and coloring is just really nice. It also reminded me of another artist but I can’t remember which one.

The artist for the first one is Rare Tempter. I liked that the back was a SFW version of the front. And the other two covers are a NFSW and a SFW cover by La Belle Cicatrice. I’ve followed her for a while, I have some art books of hers and she even did a portrait of me through one of the kickstarters of the art books. So, when I saw that she was making cover art for something, I added them to my list.

Another Aka cover portraying Dagger. I almost missed this Andolfo cover! Glad there was one at my store. I’m always happy to see a Mr. Garcin cover. I love these collage covers, and there were two this week! And I always keep an eye out for a DoFP homage cover!

There were a lot of variants for this issue of course, these I liked best. And yes I did arrange those connecting covers that way in order to save the connecting look for a Complete Collections post, haha.

JTC is such a fantastic artist. Every time it’s just gold.

Another issue was so many variants!

There’s the other Mr. Garcin cover! Just gorgeous. JTC with an amazing color-bleed cover of Jubilation Lee! I think this will go into the character covers collection for Jubilee, but I’m not sure if I want it in JTC’s collection or color-bleed one. We’ll see! And I just really liked the line-work on Rogue in this. There are other characters drawn in this style for the other issues, but I just want this one.
