This week’s issues were only three because of the holiday, but also I was waiting to buy everything during the New Year’s sale on the first.

Stephen got the use of his hands back, but basically had to learn magic again because his muscles weren’t used to things being back the way they were. After Absolute Carnage, Eddie went to an island to be alone and deal with things, but the Carnage Symbiote followed him (this was also before King in Black would slowly start to happen), and Marvel’s Incoming one-shot that had a murder mystery but also pointed to various goings ons in Marvel comics that were yet to come.

There was drama in the Agents of Atlas, Gwen had Jackal problems, Nico had magic problems, Thor had become a Brood, Thor’s three teamed up yet again, things were crazy in Guardians, Gwenpool got a cosplayer cover and went home, Cosmic Ghost Rider got a new run, the 2099 and Annihilation events were going, The Rise of Kylo Ren title started, and the special issue that ended this era of Star Wars comics dropped (Empire Ascendant), we learned more about Selina, Diana met Silencer, the Teen Titans had a mystery to solve, the City of Bane event ended, Aquaman had some big fish to deal with, Richard became a Talon at long last, Jon and the Legion were having quite the time, Lex was on his last leg, (as far as I remember) Commissioner Gordon was the last to be revealed as Infected, and all six Infected came together in Batman/Superman and the Hell Arisen special that began the finale of this event, Wally learned more of his forgotten life, oh look, the final issue of Doomsday Clock (forgotten about it hadn’t you? XD), and we got three Black Label issues.

Big movie next!

More Spiderverse, Ghost Rider had Mephisto problems, Miles and Prowler had a visit from Rhino, Johnny met his soulmate, Annihilation continued, as did the 2099 event, The Wonder Twins had a Phantom Zone adventure, JLO introduced the new character of Gamma Knife, Clark made a big decision that changed everything, Ocean Master got a YOTV issue, Harley had a Villain of the year issue where the fans voted online for the best villain of 2019, Hawkman and Kara were still Infected, The Dark Knight returns had its newest addition to the story once again written by Frank Miller, and we got another TFTDM issue.

Got a poster of a classic Jack Kirby Eternals cover.

In Black Panther we saw flashbacks to how T’Challa go into the whole space situation, Starbrand was reborn in Avengers, the FF had some Negative Zone issues, Riri was still in Wakanda dealing with problems there, Conan had a 2099 issue, and the Punisher of 2099 sis too, we got more YOTV covers (I forgot that the Hostile Takeover part of YOTV had started the week before this), it was Captain Cold vs Commander Cold, Mrs. Freeze had been born, Supergirl was struggling with being Infected, we got another TFTDM issue, and I got that Doctor Aphra issue because of he Rose Tico variant cover.

We got a reprint of the famous classic Green Lantern and Green Arrow issue that involved Roy taking drugs, Bruce was doing well against Bane, we got more YOTV covers, Perpetua had her own plans beyond Lex’s, Blue Beetle and Supergirl were of the Infected, and The Batman Who Laughs returned, Wally found an alternate Roy, Deadpool got a new run, Loki and Logan had an adventure, Hulk was dealing with A.I.M.’s leader, Tony and Janet still had Ultron problems, Captain Marvel went dark, Avengers had a flashback to 1,000,000 BC’s Starbrand, Gor returned in King Thor, Carol had an Absolute Carnage tie-in as the event raged, there were a few 2099 tie-ins, a new Annihilation event started, and the final issue of Star Wars (this run that had been set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, that started in 2015) dropped. The next era of Star Wars titles would continue in 2020 in the time between episode 5 and 6 and is still going today.

Truths were revealed in Superman, Ivy and Harley had Mad Hatter problems, Far Sector introduced us to a new Green Lantern, we finally got a look at the man under the Leviathan mask, oh right, these weren’t character specials, these were just YOTV covers of normal runs, got a few of those, Hawkman was another of the Infected, we got another TFTDM special, The Runaways met a hero from long ago, Black Cat was having fun as usual, the Agents of Atlas met a new hero who was causing them trouble, Fallen Angels started, Squirrel Girl got her 50th and final issue (of this run), and Un/Sacred started.

Got a Legion of Superheroes ring which was promoting the new Legion run.
