After this are many posters.

I felt this KIB poster needed a color tone change, so I made it so.

I just really loved this art. I have the issue for this cover as well (it’ll be in 2021’s second post).

Bruce had to find Ghost-Maker before he killed Clownhunter and Harley even though Clownhunter was already trying to kill Harley, Tom King had ended his run and wanted to continue the story he wanted to tell, so he started this Batman/Catwoman title that showed what could have happened if the wedding had happened and what he would have written (unless stated somewhere, Black Label stories are Elseworld stories, which are like the “What If…?” ones Marvel does), we got another TFTDM story, Miles and co.’s final battle with Ultimatum happened, Matt killed someone and went to jail as Daredevil, Donald Blake was back, Thor was stuck and Blake wanted vengeance on everyone, the Champions were still on the run with a mole on the team, and finally, Knull, The King in Black had arrived on earth, and the world was certainly not ready, the Atlantis Attacks storyline finally ended during Knull’s invasion, The Union started during the invasion, and Knull got a Marvel Tales issue.

Maestro took on Hercules, we got more TB’s for the Tony and Victor team-up story, Franklin, and Black Cat’s first appearance, we got the first issues of the new MARVEL run (this was a story of Nightmare and Doctor Strange confronting each other in the dream dimension), X of Swords ended, the Power Pack got a new miniseries where they had to deal with the Outlawed situation, Un/Sacred got a second run, Barry felt beaten, Damian began working on the black book, Zatanna did what she had to to end things, The Batman Who Laughs created a new Dark Multiverse with 52 new dark worlds, and we got the first issue of the Black Label title The Other History of the DC Universe (this series told very personal and grounded stories of non-White heroes and what they had to go through in their lives that people didn’t really see of think about. It was VERY well written).

The FF had created and opened the Forever Gate, now other dimensional refugees were running to safety, Venom’s time on this earth was ending, this Capt run reached issue 25, Joe Fix-it was in charge in Hulk, Sword Master had its final issue, Jessica Drew had a lead but it was in space, Juggernaut was on trial, we got a TB’s about the planet of the symbiotes, Peter was still at the absolute mercy of Kindred, Marvel Vocies had its Indigenous Voices issue, Doctor Who started a new run, Batman had to stop Ghost-maker from making a ghost out of Clownhunter, KGBeast took another shot at Nightwing, Teen Titans had its last issue, the Legion of Doom was saved by the JL (turned out great…), and the penultimate issue of Death Metal dropped.

Vader met Ochi (this was the first full appearance of Ochi since his mentions in Episode IX. He was revealed at the end of issue 6), Savage Avengers had to battle an Asgardian dragon, X of Swords raged, we got more TB’s in prep for KIB (Black Panther’s first appearance, Valkyrie’s first, and Beta Ray Bill’s first), Kamala and Amulet were on the run, the Champions couldn’t rely on Riri, Peter was going through hell, Diana had Count Vertigo problems, Hawkman’s final issue dropped, Punchline got a post-Joker War special, and Lobo got a DKDM special.
