I had to wait extra long to get the comics from these weeks so these posts are late. Also, there are a couple NSFW covers in this bunch. Also, SDCC was crazy, see my previous 3 posts.

Action Comics reached its 1100th issue! I can’t believe that it’s been 100 issues since issue 1000! I remember picking that issue up in 2018. Dinah and Oliver stop by in Detective Comics. Manchester Black is causing problems for Superboy Prime. Absolute Superman beats King Shazam. Despero returns in JLU. The Prime Magus is chosen in Zatanna. We got a Godzilla SDCC special. Godzilla in the Marvel universe also got a continued title following the previous one from a month or so ago. We got a Marvel Zero special. Gambit got a new miniseries by Chris Claremont. ASM is creeping up on issue 1000. We got another murder at a Hellfire Gala, but this time it’s a gala not run by the White Queen. And we got reprintings of a JLA/Avengers crossover from 2003.

The Action Comics main cover and the variants that I chose.

The main cover is a great legacy wraparound by Ryan Sook!

Mark Spears has been doing so many covers recently! This Superman one is great! I also love this Lois at the Planet with the paper everywhere. David Talaski drew a fantastic cover. And the third one is a lovely cover by Rahzzah.

This cover is part of a Yasmine Putri set, but I got this mainly because of Kon-El.

The next Harley covers.

I liked this Chew cover a lot.

Another Rahzzah variant, and Diana looks amazing. And I just liked this Detective Comics main cover by Mike Janín.

Superman variants.

I like this Mark Spears variant because it reminds me of a Superman mural that I used to see in the private parking garage of my aunt’s apartment building in Manhattan. It was a classic image of Superman breaking Kryptonite chains that were binding him. The next one is a gorgeous variant by Javi Fernández and Alejandro Sánchez. And the last one is another comic book store themed variant by Eddy Barrows and Alejandro Sánchez.

Variants for JLU!

The first is a fun dynamic variant by Bruno Redondo. The next is of course by Nathan Szerdy. And the last one is Seb McKinnon. It’s looks so much like a painting!

The next Zatanna covers. The main one still by Jamal Campbell.

The first variant is by Adam Hughes. The next is by Eom and that last one I really love a lot, it’s a Mark Spears, but something about the blackness behind Zatanna makes her stand out so much more.

This was just a fun variant for this comic that I got because of the San Diego concention center in the foreground. A touch of recency bias since I was there last month, haha.

NSFW warning.

These are the next Gun Honey variants.

The first variant is by Ivan Tao. The NSFW variant is by Rare Tempter. And the Punisher’s first appearance homage cover is by Nuno Pereira.

The next Hello Darkness Frison variant! It looks so good! And this Godzilla variant I accidentally hid in the main photos above. This is by Giuseppe Camuncoli. I got it because it reminded me of the previous run’s cover set of Marvelized Godzilla covers.

The awesome variants for Remy’s new title!

The foil variant is by Kris Anka. The next one is of course by Artgerm (I’m so happy I can say that I’ve met him now!). And the two wanted poster covers are by Phil Noto.

ASM covers! This blue Nakayama variant is one of the final Blue color block variants.

This one I just found both paying homage and just a cool dynamic shot by Ed McGuinness and Marcio Menyz.

The Hellfire variants that I chose. The second one is the next in the Marvel Snap swimsuit variant set by Inhyuk Lee.

I chose this variant because it was the closest to some of the previous Gala covers in that it’s showing off the outfits well. It’s by R. B. Silva.

These are reprints of this crossover mash-up issue 3 from 2003. The second variant is an Alex Ross connecting cover.

The wraparound variant is by the legendary George Pérez and Tom Smith. the binding made it a bit tricky to get the image displayed.

So many characters to look at!
