Another week with A LOT of issues.

Batman got its first number 1 since Rebirth and only its 4th ever Number 1! I learned that at the store, I guess I just didn’t think about it back when Rebirth started since I was just starting to get back into comics around then. Other than the original, and the two aforementioned ones, New 52 also got a Batman #1. It’s Ragnarok in the JSA. Cheetah and Cheshire continue their caper. We got a new Superman title continuing storylines from the Future State event set in the future. Sabrina the Teenage Witch got a new run. Jeff the Landshark got another issue. The Marvel Zombies dropped by in Avengers (not sure if it’s the original ones or other ones as promotion for the upcoming animated microseries). Han Chewie and Lando got a new series that tells us about their search for the Falcon before the Sequel trilogy. Legacy of Vader introduced us to a new Knight of Ren. Everyone seems to be going through a lot in all the X-titles. We got the next Imperial tie-in. Doctor Strange, while not having a current run, got a 450th one-shot issue. I was very disappointed by the fact that there were barely any variants for this huge milestone, only four (2 normal, 2 incentive). Even with no current run, this issue should have had at least 10 variants. For example, Amazing Spider-Man 975 got 9 normal variants and 3 incentive variants. We actually have a Spider-Man TAS continuation via a new comic run!! Now, it’s not nice that the showrunner of that amazing series isn’t doing the writing for this title, and there’s still no word on if it’ll get the same kind of treatment as X-Men ’97 got, but it’s nice to finally have something. FYI, as soon as X-Men ’97 dropped, he made it known that he’d love to return for a revival. So, we’ll see how this comic does. And the next DSLTRY issue dropped.

These are the variants that I got, there were SO many. The blind bag was of course a swing of a pickaxe in the dark and I didn’t strike gold, but the cover I got is still great.

The first is by Gabriele Dell’Otto, I liked the blue being accentuated and the bats. The new logo is cool. And I was happy to see an Artgerm cover and a wraparound at that! And the cover I got in the bag was the foil variant of the Jim Lee cover.

Fantastic covers with all very different tones! I really liked Rahzzah’s cover with the sun behind Clark.

I think this is the first time in a while that the store didn’t have enough to get the 1:25 incentive cover. So, I’ll have to find that somewhere else.

The main cover of course, and the red and black cover is by Nogi San

A fun Momoko cover and one of the anniversary sets with that iconic moment from Revenge of the Sith.

Alex Ross’s Timeless makes its return this year in a part two of the bunch back in Spring. it’ll be 16 covers. And I love this Gonzales cover!

Another issue where there were many variants. The first here is the main cover. The second is the first of the upcoming Stitch variants. And the third one is a fantastic origin themed one by Lee Bermejo.

I love the details and shading, as usual for his covers.

So many variants for this too, understandably so. JTC of course started a new set of action figure variants. A blank for the future. An animation variant, and the fourth one I got because Venom looked exactly like he did in the cartoon.
