This Fire and Ice variant is from May actually. And this Batman variant is the last of the Summer of Superman collection from last week.
Dan Mora is just so good!!

Completed Variant Sets 13 — June 19, 2025
Tomorrow, I’ll post new comics that I got today.
This is Jen Bartel’s next set of She-Hulk’s next run following that previous one. This run was far too short! I was sad that in got cancelled. But these covers are so fun and different than Jen’s previous She-Hulk cover set.
Peach Momoko has such an innovative artistic mind. she has a couple distinct styles from herself and then she dropped this which was another different style!
Now, I think these are a set of three. I tried searching to see if there were more covers of this design of hers, but I found nothing. If there are any more from 2024, someone let me know!
Leirix did such a good job on these fun covers!
I think these are the only J. Scott Campbell covers that I’ve bought from the store. I got a pack of some others at some point but haven’t taken photos. But I really like these.
This set looks so good together! There are virgin variants of these designs, but I like the X-Men logos in the background.
That’s it for now! I’ve not planned when to do the next bunch of these. But, doing this I think 2-3 more times and I should be caught up with all variants and should be able to keep up to date with variant photos. But we’ll see.
Completed Variant Sets 12 — June 19, 2025
There will be one more of these posts after this.
W. Scott Forbes did such a fantastic job with these covers! I love these character designs and the photoshoot theme.
These are the main covers for those 50th issues of both titles. The main covers are just paired and work well together.
Peach Momoko did such a great job with these covers!
She did more with each issue of this event main issues, but I wanted these as a set because of this couple pair of course.
Kenya Danino. Such an amazing artist. Every time I posted these in the main posts, I was excited to see these all together.
These look so amazing all next to each other. The colors and character designs are all just fantastic!
David Nakayama did all the main covers for this title’s run. And they also look so good together!
I took two photos of these with the light shining from the bottom and then top respectively. The light slightly changes the covers. They look amazing!
Completed Variant Sets 11 — June 19, 2025
I will be starting with the connecting covers sets again.
So, unlike last time, the connecting covers weren’t as bad with the connecting aspect of the covers. Having said that, none except one set actually connected without needing to overlap, line up misaligned covers or having a space of missing art.
These are the Nakayama trio from his cover run of the current Poison Ivy run.
I had to overlap with these covers. They almost made it! But they look so good together! I love his sense of legacy with the Ivy’s from different eras.
This is a very dynamic connecting cover with Apocalypse and Annihilation at war with each other with the others in the background.
This also overlapped, though, again it works well.
Such a cool cover set. Warring sides and Clark at the center.
This was a misaligned set. I lined up the image focused on the Superman hair curl because if I didn’t, it just looked weird with the curl cut up.
Here’s another Nakayama set during the Fall of X. I love these designs and the shot itself.
And unfortunately, it’s misaligned and a bit disproportioned with one of the covers. I lined it up as best as I could. Though the art is so good, I really don’t notice the flaw.
This is a nice set by W. Scott Forbes. I love the bright colors and the scene itself.
I think this was the only set that actually connected properly. So, woot!
There were a lot of wars going on last year. This is another dynamic set.
This was another overlap, but at least it works when it’s overlapped and lines up.
This cover should be familiar because it’s been here before. Taurin Clarke is just so good!
This had an overlap and perhaps something missing? But they also did this design as a wraparound cover. So I’m fine with this having a flaw.
This is just a fun design even with the tone of the end of the Krakoan age happening.
These also overlapped.
These designs were variants for each of these titles’ 50th issues. I like the characters from each title in the background of each cover.
This set was misaligned, but it still looks good.
I’ve been waiting to have this set together. Björn Barends did such a great job with these!
I know you can’t zoom in on this, but they line up perfectly, but, it’s all overlap. That’s the problem with the covers that go for card material of the covers because the cover doesn’t fully wrap around the issue itself. So they just all overlap.
Big sorting project part 2! (June 10-18, 2025)
So back in April I started sorting variant covers from over the years. I did another chunk of boxes from 40 weeks-worth of variants.
After last time I increased to 42 of these boxes, and now I’m at 66 boxes! This photo is from when I was just starting this last week.
How to Train your Dragon (July 11, 2025)
Well. I loved it, of course.
It did what it needed to do and it did it well! The visuals were fantastic, as expected. I was hoping for more shots that would look good for 3D, but I don’t think I saw many. But I’m fine with that. And I don’t know if there are 3D screenings of this.
The cast did a great job. Everyone portrayed their roles brilliantly. I loved that Gerard Butler returned for his role as Stoic.
This gave me all the emotions of the original. Now, there were some visuals, specifically the flying that looked smoother or better in the original movie, but that didn’t bother me too much.
If you enjoyed the original movie, you probably will enjoy this. They didn’t make similar mistakes that other live-action remakes have made in the past. It’s a fun watch!

Mid-credit scene: Nope, but there are nice visuals.
End-credit scene: Yes, but it’s not really much of anything. I’m not quite sure why they picked to add it. I would have tweaked it a little to make it at least narratively useful. But eh. So, basically, you don’t have to stay to watch it. That can be done when it’s on digital.

Anti-Venom and All-New Venom clash! Gwen seems to be in command of whatever is going on in her book. Thor is having a bad time. Laura Kinney got to her 75th-ever issue! Galactus and Ghost Rider got a on-shot! Miles takes a trip into the new Ultimate universe! We got a new run for Marvel Knights! We got a new event starting called Imperial! The next issue of the TMNT/Naruto crossover dropped. The final issue of Fear of the Jedi dropped! The end of the third publishing phase of the High Republic is next! Shaak Ti and Qui-Gon seemingly take on Jango in this issue of Jedi Knights! And we got this year’s DC Pride issue! Happy Pride, y’all!
The next post should be a movie post!
Okay. Gwen looks intense on that cover! That’s it. I liked the creativity of the Daredevil cover! The Ross cover looks amazing! And so does the Storm cover!
Galactus! That’s all.
I didn’t know this was a wraparound cover, it’s minimalist.
Such great covers! Momoko rocked this She-Hulk cover! And the other one is a connecting cover.
These are two variants for this crossover title. I really liked the previous issues variants and continue to enjoy these!
Artgerm did some Heat Seeker covers! There are a couple other variants of these that I need to find.
Love this Pride variant of Mother Koril from Acolyte! Hmm, I vaguely remember a cover of Mother Aniseya in the recent past too, I’ll have to look that up.
Love all these covers for Jedi Knights! The first, third and fourth are continuing the sets from all the issues, and the second one is another of the 10th Anniversary of The Force Awakens covers.
Love these Ivy variants! Tran Nguyen made a gorgeous cover! And then the second one is a connecting Pride cover with a Harley issue.
Love these covers! For the art but also, of course, for Dreamer.
I love that they made a magazine variant for this year’s DC Pride issue! But I certainly had hoped for a lot more variants that we got.
Posters!! It feels like it’s been months since I’ve gotten posters, probably because it has been. The Trinity one is nice. I’m glad there was a mini poster for that Pride cover! And I’m very happy to have these Nakayama covers as posters!

We got the next Disney crossover title, this one staring Daffy. Ultimate Spider-Man has been getting a lot of great press, so I feel like this issue seems great. Uncanny X-Men seems to have a lot going on. Cable is seeing double! Infinity Watch continues. Doom’s event rolls on (well into July too!)! Kamala is on a time-travel adventure through the X-Men’s history! I’m so happy to have her in a new bunch of comics. I still hope she gets a new long-term run again at some point. The Hush event continues. Hal Jordan perhaps shall be Spectre again? This issue of Harley seems to be exploring her mind, I can’t wait to get to that. While Hal deals with Spectre, Wally continues to deal with Eclipso. We are Yesterday continues! And we got a new Mr. Terrific run for this All-In era!
I will certainly make sure to look up the covers these pay homage to. Always fun to have these titles going on. I really like the second cover here, Mark Brooks did a great job!
MJ and Mystique are looking amazing in these variants! Ivan Talavera did a fantastic job with that MJ cover. And Fan Yang created such great art for Mystique.
I always enjoy design covers! And I love this Leirix cover because it looks so different from usual.
I got this main cover because I wanted to pair it with another cover from earlier this year, as a set. And I enjoy having the movie-based covers.
These are the next variants in the sets for this title. They will all look good together once the run ends.
I’m always excited when Kamala is back in a title! I do hope she gets a next long-term run again soon.
I gotta love that Kamala is part of this time-traveling event. That gives us a bunch of homage covers as the main covers. Plus the cover this is paying homage to always is a fun one to use. Storm looks amazing! And I love this homage cover with Kamala in the mysterious center of the cover. Though I thought it was a hidden space that would be filled in, but nope.
David Nakayama is had a good week! These are two very different toned covers! David replied to my comment on the image on his IG that he liked using darkness on the cover because that’s what Batman is always surrounded by.
So many great covers! I love seeing Spectre on covers! Mark Spears has been doing a great job on so many covers recently!! That last one is one of the Summer of Superman variant sets! I can’t wait to see them together!
Nakayama’s next cover is so fun! Guillem March made Harley look so good as a Super!
Both dynamic variants! Wally being Superman would be fun!
The moment I saw this cover, I knew I’d be getting it. The covers and shading and details are just so good!
I mainly get Leirix covers where the ladies are the subject, but Ollie looks great on this cover! And this is the next connecting variant in the AAPI set.
The use of shadow and color are well balanced.
Derrick Chew does a great job with the Super-family! Kara and Lois look fantastic! Look at all the Supers on this cover!!
Such great covers! Da Silva creating brilliance on that first cover!! Oh look, more Supers on the second! And I think this is the last of the connecting set.
The legacies look amazing!
May 2025 Late Issues 2
All-Star Superman isn’t late, it’s just prep for the movie! Two DWM’s from January and February. Volume 2 of Ultimate X-Men. Darkwing and Superman Unlimited were late main covers. And the Vampirella and the Quicksilver cover were late variants.
There are other versions (foil, virgin) of this cover, but I went for this one only.
May 21, 2025
Victor isn’t having a good time in Titans. Bruce and Diana continue with their mystery. Captain Hallow is on his way up in Nightwing. Superman got a new miniseries. The end of this phase of the High Republic era continues. Hulk and Doctor Strange got a one-shot team-up. Moon Knight got carved up. Hulk and Thor seemingly get a rematch in this 25th issue of this new run. Vision and Scarlet Witch got a new miniseries! And Doom’s event continues.
The next Catwoman covers by Cho and Rich and Lee respectively.
Otto Schmidt did a great job with this Titans cover!!
Love these covers! The first is of course the next Nakayama cover. And the second one is the second of a set that involves non-Superman characters in Superman attire. The other one is the Aquaman variant above.
Love this Haining cover of Absolute Flash. and I have this World’s Finest cover here because of Perpetua. And the New Gods one because of the Source Wall being in the background.
The main cover for this didn’t show up, so that’ll appear next time. I got the blank cover and the James Gunn and David Corenswet cover! I think it’s part of a set of real people being on covers, but not sure if it is a set. But I do know that there is a set of Gunn’s Superman across covers.
Got this variant for Rigel being one of the shrubs. The next one I got for the legacy of Hulk. And the last one is a great Lee variant!!
This wraparound cover is so great! The cartoon variant is fun paying homage the Hulk’s first issue. And this is the next Timeless cover.
Such a great use of wraparound and Hulk’s massive frame.
Love this Dauterman cover! And this is such a sweet window shades variant.
I didn’t expect to get this many variants for this issue, but they’re all great! Always happy to see more Galloway covers! Great Disney cover! Not sure if it’s specifically an homage cover or not. The next Timeless cover. And I suppose I wanted to get this Impossible Man cover because he influenced my mind, haha.
