It was nice that this day was both new comic book day for the week and my birthday! I turned 36!

The Tidal War began in Aquaman. The Kingdom of Zod event continued. We got the next Death Vigil and Chachu issues. Chachu 1 got a second printing. Cheetara got a new run started. The Book of Boba Fett got a miniseries started that’s essentially the show in comic form. Doomquest continued. The Queen in Black event is almost over. And we got the next Mangaverse issue via Iron Knight.

This is the next Fornés emotion name variant for this title. And at last, this is the final (for now) Rian Gonzales variant for this title. It’ll be part of the next post.

John Timms gave us this tidal wave cover. It just looks so epic! And the variant I chose was another fantastic one by Mark Spears.

I love this Nimit Malavia variant!

The connecting main cover, by Lucas Meyer and Giuliano Peratelli, and variant is by Pete Woods.

There’s Kon-El! That’s all.

These are the next main cover and variant from Stjepan Šejić.

I wasn’t sure if he was doing two covers each wee or just for these first two. Otherwise I would have had this variant and the one from issue 1 be part of a set.

The second issue of Chachu gave us this great window shot. It’s by Marianna Ignazzi. And the other Chachu issue I got is the second printing of the first issue with the same artist just in orange. And the Cheetara variant is a Darboe design.

The two Iron Man variants that I got. The first is of course another Ross Timeless variant.

The next is by Dave Rapoza. I really love the details on this!

The main cover and variant that I chose for this first issue.

The main is by Alex Maleev and the variant is by Erik M. Gist.

These are the variants that I got for this Doomquest issue. The first is the next Vecchio homage cover. The next is as David Mack. And the third is the next Pixar cover, and it’s by Paco Medina.

Always happy to see David Mack covers.

This Black Cat cover is by Josemaria Casanovas. And it’s paying homage to the designs of classic pulp magazine covers and Sci-fi posters from the mid-20th century. The X-Force main cover is by R. B. Silva and David Curiel. Happy that Kamala is on the cover. And the last one is by Yuji Kaku again, it’s the next main cover in the series.
