So this was me picking up issues that weren’t event-related during a new month. There was so much going on! Ego, the Living Planet had a daughter, Medusa was dealing with her powers fading, Gwen was being hunted, all sorts of Superpeople action happening.
More of the same really, Secret Empire being all empire-y. Slade becoming a speedster was crazy.
Stevil leading Hydra all over the place, Lazarus Contract getting more tense, Venom 150 and for some reason, I included the Logan home release too XD
Secret Empire was going, Thor was having Phoenix drama, and Flash got a lenticular cover! Oh, and I think by this time I was leaving variant covers and non-event issues in my box to get at a later time.
Not too much that week, but America traveled to a classic X-Men time and Bruno and Kamala were having troubles. Secret Warriors debuted again and it was a great run. Some fun panels from this run are on my IG haha. And Titans dove into the Lazarus Contract event. That was an intense event.
Free Comic Book Day 2017! Every year special preview issues of comics are printed for FCBD. All publishers take part so, you’ll see a taste of things to come during that year across all comics (including manga). These were what I got. This may have been my first FCBD, I can’t quite remember.
May 4, 2017 – Just got home a little while ago. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was spectacular!!! Jokes on point, songs flowed nicely, funny scenes, crazy scenes, triply scenes, and scenes that were emotional as hell. And all the mid credit scenes were fun XD and the post credit scene was, well, I AM SO GLAD WE FINALLY SEE SOME OF THEM (though that scene is continued from a scene in the movie, gotta pay attention!) also glad to see Guardians vol. 1 right before, got me even more amped XD
Kate Bishop and Jessica Jones were having a detective team-up, Black Bolt #1 had just come out (it is a FANTASTIC run, you should read it), young Jean was figuring out Phoenix stuff, and DC had bad things happening all over the place XD
The photo is horrible quality because on that day, my phone wouldn’t turn on, so I used my laptop to take the photo XD. Doom popped into Moon Girl’s issue, a lot going on in Thanos and Ultimates^2 and Hulk. Oh, and this was also soon after Star Wars Celebration that year celebrating 40 years of Star Wars, it was a big even online. I remember the panels and it was great. I really wish I could have actually attended though.
I couldn’t get the lighting correct for this photo so I just posted two. This was the week Venom got a new run, Nick Fry got a very colorful retro comic, and the beginnings of Secret Empire appeared. Hydra was having a grand old time. XD
