This is the 25th issue of Poison Ivy, the title that was originally a 6 issue miniseries. It’s so wonderful that G. Willow Wilson’s run has gone this long. Plastic Man got a new miniseries. Absolute Power continues. Trinity got a special one-shot. It’s Farscape’s 25th Anniversary, so it got a reprint of the first comic of the franchise I think, and then a one-shot anniversary special. The next Disney/Marvel What If title dropped featuring Donald Duck. I’m excited to get to Scarlet Witch! Acolyte’s Kelnacca got a one-shot special. We got a new X-title called Exceptional X-Men, which should be a dramatic title. Infinity Watch and Venom War continue.

Such a lovely Takara cover for Poison Ivy! Carmine Di Giandomenico did and amazing job with this Penguin cover! Some collages work really well. Ricardo López Ortiz did this GLORIOUS job on this Superman cover. This is paying homage to Akira Toriyama after his passing. It’s based on the famous Dragon Ball Z volume 26 manga cover. The next issue is also similarly paying homage. Peach Momoko did a great job with Donald as Thor. I didn’t initially intend on getting the Ultimates cover, but it really is creepy and cool with Maker being Doom’s cloak. And another Momoko cover which is also creepy and wonderful.

Here, again, is another proper homage cover. It looks so good! This is based on Sub-Mariner 32 from 1949 from Timely Comics (future Marvel).

Ejikure did a great job with Cassandra Cain. And I’m excited for Nicola Scott’s legacy covers!

So much going on on these covers! Love it!

I mean look at this! Just fantastic cover by Mikel Janin.

The next Absolute Power covers.

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a Carla Cohen cover. I love her art!

Farscape is such an amazing series. I wish we’d gotten more seasons of the show. I can’t believe it’s been 25 years!

Just great covers!

Dauterman is just doing a brilliant job with these main covers. The colors on this cover is gorgeous. And I like this variant because the girl is wearing a Ms. Marvel shirt, it’s a Coca-Cola variant cover that’s part of a set.

These are both such amazing covers! This Alex Ross cover is spectacular. I can’t wait for all these Meinerding covers!

I mean look at this. LOOK! Asgard looks perfect.

So many wonderful covers!

This first one was an incentive cover, it’s just really nice. This Besch cover is wonderful. And the last one is just a nice cover I liked.
