Just two variants.
The first is simply because of Apocalypse’s face on there. The second I liked because of the legacy aspect of the framed images from 616 Gwen’s past.
These were two of the promo kazoo’s from Deadpool and Wolverine. The other was Dogpool. But the store only had these two left.

That was indeed a fun movie. It made me want to do research on the days before the Apollo 11 launch with all the funding issues to see if there were fears of not getting it before lift-off.
The cast did a great job. All roles, both fake and real were done very well. There was a lot of heart throughout the film. Other than being in a theater for Star Wars back in 1977, I think watching Apollo 11 launch would be another choice if I could go back in time to see a big event like that.
There have been a couple movies that took place during the launch both fictional stories and more concrete ones founded in reality, and I’ve always enjoyed them. Every time you see the people in the control room anticipating the successful launch, landing and return, you always feel it. You hold your breath, you let it go when it all goes well even though you know how it ends. And I certainly felt that here too.
Yes it was also a romcom, and it worked in each scene with the two leads. There was humor and serious moments, it was just enjoyable to watch the two mesh. The music was also fun, I think almost everything was of the time but there were a couple modern day choices.
I had fun watching this movie and will probably watch it again when it comes to a home release. If you want a uncomplicated enjoyable experience, go for it!

Not quite sure what’s going on in Shazam, but it doesn’t seem good for Billy. Zod, on the other hand is having a great time. Absolute Power continues. The next issue of My Adventures with Superman dropped. Doctor Who got a new run to go along with the new season that aired last month, though it’s not canon to the show, but eh, Artgerm did the main cover! That High Republic cover I think is the first that refers to Acolyte, though that issue and this phase of HR comics isn’t 100 years before Acolyte, it’s 97, but eh, haha. Wolverine got another miniseries to celebrate his anniversary. Moon Knight is back. Blood Hunt continues. Logan got a one-shot going through his life stretching back through all the decades of his comics with Life of Wolverine. And the Inquisitors from Star Wars got a miniseries.
And movie reaction for the next post, I’m literally typing this before I leave to see it.
This is Nakayama’s last variant for Poison Ivy. I just really liked this cover of Psylocke. And y’all know that I love legacy covers, hence getting another copy of the Wolverine issue.
This is the main cover for Absolute Power and the connecting variant, the second out of 12 of them.
Here’s he wraparound of the main cover.
Great covers! Always happy to see these Galloway Saturday Morning Cartoon variants.
The main cover and this variant because of this version of Sabertooth’s costume design.
The glorious Artgerm covers! And also the logo cover.
I love that not only did we get a main cover and a foil variant, we got a sketch variant too.
Ah. I guess I didn’t check the image. Whoops! Sorry for the blurriness. Also, this posts are way late too.
We got a Giant Little Marvels special by Scottie Young. Spider people were busy. Blood Hunt continued. Infinity Watch started. Darkest Hour continued for the Power Rangers. Zatanna got a new miniseries. And the Absolute Power event started.
The next Momoko variant for Blood Hunt. Stjepan Šejić gave us a great Superman cover.
Artgerm gave us an amazing Zatanna cover, plus a foil version.
Love these! I still need a better way to take photos of foil covers to show off the foil. If anyone knows what I could do, let me know!
DWM from February and some variants.
This Edge of the Spider-Verse cover is one of the variants that each store gets one of. This Nightwing cover pays homage to one of the first covers of this run. That Star Wars cover is another one of the anniversary covers for Phantom Menace with R2’s first heroic moments.
I actually didn’t realize the second printings of these issues were connecting covers till I took this photo.
And I forgot I’d preordered this from the store haha. Apparently, the box it came in was huge and it was the only item in there. Also there was a crazy amount of bubble wrap.
Now having gotten to the current arc in Spider-Woman, I’m excited to get to this issue. That ASM cover was initially a hidden cover for that reveal. Evidently this Ultimate Spider-Man issue is really good. the Venomverse makes a come-back. I wonder what that Batman issue is about other than duality. I’m so excited to get to this Titans arc with Raven and Trigon. And I’m happy to get to these next DSTRLY titles.
Always happy to see America Chavez on a cover. R2 and 3PO meeting for the first time. Nathan Szerdy gave us a great Babs and Kara cover paying homage to Bruce Timm’s designs. This Titans’ cover is trippy! Raven looks great! And this Wonder Woman cover was one I wasn’t going to get, but it hooked me in-person. And that was weird because one of the covers for this issue was removed because the artist who made it evidently used AI. I didn’t know that till I picked up these and was told that.
The next Nakayama cover. The next Rachta Lin cover, so fun!
The main cover and one of the variants for issue 3.
Again, I love these wraparound covers.
The full designs. Some of the images are glossy (like the blood on the second cover’s back cover) and others are matte.
Since last time I have actually finished one pile! Progress!
Outsiders seems interesting with both Hex’s on the cover. This is the last Dream Team issue. We got an uncovered issue for DC Pride. Got a new title called Remote Space. It seemed cool. I’m intrigued by this Vader issue. Matt got a Giant-Size issue. Ultimate X-Men, G.O.D.S., and Blood Hunt all continue. We got an Apocalypse-related miniseries started. And Wanda got a new run.
Such a fun Dreamer cover by Fatima Wajid. For these 25th Anniversary covers for Phantom Menace I won’t get them all, just the ones that show big moments. For example, the first moment we meet Anakin on this cover. This Eternity cover is fantastic. Though I realize that I wouldn’t have included this till a collection covers post, but eh. This Momoko cover with Carol is great as usual. And of course the same for this Jubilee one. I’m not going to get all the Blood Hunt Momoko covers.
So many amazing covers for Wanda.
Dauterman’s main cover is just fantastic. I still hope we get an action figure of his design. I love this Frison cover. I wasn’t sure about getting the next one but I gave in, haha. Tran Nguyen did a great job. P. Craig Russell made such a painting of a foil cover.
Another time I have every cover for this title’s issue. I still have to get one more variant of issue 1, and hopefully I can keep getting all the covers for this whole run. It would be a first for me.
Just covers I needed more of.
This is just a great cover, it reminds me of 90’s Superboy, which is when I read my first comics.
This is the main cover of this final issue of this run and the Krakoan age. it’s just a great wraparound cover!

Well, that was a pretty good movie. It was based on a real biker club that one member decided to take photos and recordings of for eventual college.
The cast was mostly unknown to me other than a few of the main characters. But all of them did a fantastic job. Tom Hardy and Austin Butler we’re brilliant. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie based on real events that didn’t have a structured plot to it. It was essentially just telling a story of how things happened and how they ended. It took place during the late 60’s into the 70’s.
The music was well-picked and scored. The set and costume design were great. The emotional hits, hit. It went by faster than I thought would. Would I watch it again? Probably not, but it was a well made movie that I would suggest anyway.

I saw articles loving this and others not being a fan. I enjoyed this movie a lot!
I still like the first one more, but this was more complex, giving the new emotions. The story wasn’t overly complicated in what was actually happening, but the emotions were all over the place since there were new ones.
The new emotions were very accurate to what we all feel like when they set in. Very well written. The visuals were amazing of course. And there was heart at the core of the movie just like the previous one.
I felt so many feelings, as expected and I’m happy for it. I’m so glad this sequel was made!
