Donna was having trouble controlling herself, Central City was having all sorts of trouble, and Darkseid being himself. Ah right, the Immortal Men had started, that was an interesting series, I would have liked it to continue past its first arc. Supergirl’s final issue (in a continuous run, last year Kara got a miniseries which just ended), Domino got a new run, I love Domino’s comics, Deadpool was having trouble with literally everyone XD, X-Men Blue got a new team since the kids from the past got lost in space dealing with Symbiotes and Poisons, Thanos and King Thanos were not exactly on the same page, the Champions started a new run, and Captain America got to his 700th issue.

March 28 and April 4, 2018

There was a Doctor Who convention the weekend before the 28th and I had another convention between these two weeks, so I waited till April 4 to get two week’s worth. The first image is from March 28, the second from April 4 and the third is variants and such from the past weeks and months.

Etrigan was having a hell of a time (pun intended), Flash was having trouble, Diana was still dealing with Darkseid and co, Terrifics were all over the place, The Champions were feeling disillusioned, No Surrender was ending, Dark Knights were rising and pancakes were had.

So many supermen, Slade and Bruce, the Bat/Cat wedding was imminent, while Rogue and Gambit’s vacation was still nuts, relationships were blossoming in Runaways, Venomized had begun and Black Bolt was ending, plus we had a flash of a potential future with Wolverine (Laura) and friends were dealing with future drama.

I remember that in that Superman issue (and others that followed) I had trouble reading Bizarro’s way of talking in opposites. You think you get it but then a sentence doesn’t makes sense when you thought you understood it then you’re like ahhhhhh!!! XD Though I can’t imagine writing all that dialogue, or maybe they wrote it in correct way around and then swapped it. Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man got to issue 300 and Green Goblin returned.

Another title under the New Age of Heroes was The Terrifics. That was a fun weird team-up romp. It was just fun XD, I mean some drama too. Spider-Gwen went Venom! More glorious Gwenpool! Captain Marvel still dealing with another universe, Galactus came for King Thanos in the future, and I love that the Champions roster grew and grew. ^__^

The Brave and the Bold was a fantasy story that intrigued me, Amadeus Cho went to Planet Hulk, This Defenders run ended, and I certainly loved those final few pages (THAT SPLASH PAGE!!!), Oh right, I forgot about the Poisons event, that was a cool concept. Ah yes, Damnation was starting! That was a fun event! And also Infinity Countdown was getting ready to start so many stories. The aftermath of that whole event is still playing out in comics today. Oh and that was also the last issue of Generation X.

Another photo I never posted! Gahhh! Oh. Right. The Milk Wars. That was a WEIRD crossover I still don’t understand XD. Ah! Sideways, that’s that character from the New Age of Heroes that I mentioned liking before since he interacts with a DC Cosmic being. Also because his powers are similar to America Chavez’s multiversal traversing powers. Oh right and Falcon was dealing with freaking Blackheart of all characters! I remember a splash page from that run showing Mephisto and other evil characters talking about their plans amongst each other and Blackheart not getting a seat at the table. It was a cool scene. Oh and there’s the X-Men Red A Cover that I didn’t get the previous week in the third row. Oh wow! I totally forgot that Logan was dead for a long while at this time, hence Marvel being able to have Old Man Logan hanging around for a while and Laura taking the mantle of Wolverine. On the cover of the No Surrender issue in this photo (and other random comics) they’d have that Wolverine symbol and it meant we got a little end-credit scene of sorts of Logan somewhere doing something since he had somehow returned from how he died in The Death of Wolverine event some time before Secret Wars. So that was always fun to see on an issue. Ah yes and this was the day we got our first Thrawn comic as a title which was based off of the recent Thrawn novel. It was wonderful being able to see that story play out.

Ah yes, Silencer was a part of The New Age of Heroes that DC attempted to make popular and it did not go well, a couple characters have showed up in other titles, but mostly, that era bombed. Personally, I enjoyed a couple of the characters. One interacted with a DC cosmic being, so I of course loved that, Silencer was pretty interesting and surprisingly, some time after this new era had come and gone, Silencer showed up on the CW’s Arrow in its sixth season. Thing and Human Torch were still searching the multiverse for the Richards’ family, Carol was dealing with an alternate universe’s Reality Gem, and just a lot of things as usual were happening.
