I guess I didn’t say it for any of the previous posts, but, Happy New Year!

We have a new villain being promoted in this Batman issue, The Ōjō (previously Lady Death Man). Absolute Batman got a one-shot. Ivy seems to be doing well. A new arc starts in Absolute Superman. The Cheetah and Cheshire miniseries ended with this issue. We got a facsimile edition of an amalgam story featuring Spider-Boy (Peter Parker and Conner Kent (Kon-El)) from the 90’s. Power Rangers got a new miniseries started. Richard Rider’s Nova got a new run. Ultimate X-Men got it’s penultimate issue. Silver Sable pays Logan a visit. Silk and Gwen team up. And this facsimile edition of this comic is from Superman and Spider-Man’s first meeting. Though this is a huge version of the issue. I think it’s larger than a library edition, or if not, then it’s that size.

The next fantastic Ultimate X-Men covers, including a connection variant.

The next Batman variants.

Such a cool new character design! Love the hair and the light swords.

Such a great Swaby variant of Ivy. A great Andolfo variant! I really like this Murakami main cover for Batgirl. Another main cover was the final issue of the Cheshire and Cheetah miniseries by Nicola Scott and Annette Kwok. And the Knightfight main cover by Dan Mora looks so clean!

More great Shredder covers! the art is just gorgeous. Thank you to Michele Bandini and Marco Lesko for the main cover and Dike Ruan for the variant.

Speaking of Shredder, I loved this cover of Godzilla reflecting on Shredder’s helmet. And this is such a great homage cover imitating the legendary Death of Superman cover from Superman #75 (January 93).

The penultimate set of Ultimate X-Men covers! Though I think I was missing one or two variants since they were incentive covers.

I liked this Bermejo cover because it seemed to be paying homage to Punisher’s first issue where he’s aiming at Spidey. Information on the Superman/Spidey comic is above.
