Young Clark meets some of the future Justice League in Action comics. Something rage-filled is happening in Green Lantern Corps. There is a Kara cyborg. We got a Firestorm miniseries started. Black Cat has some trouble within the Siege Perilous. There seems to be a lot going on for the Uncanny X-Men in both the main issue and the annual. We have a new other Venom in a one-shot. And the next issue of Maul’s comic dropped.

Nathan Szerdy drew and colored this cover so well!

We get the first of these lantern emotional spectrum names on this Jorge Fornés set. And here’s the next Gonzales variant.

I always love seeing a Villalobos cover, look at that! And that Swaby cover is great too!

The next cover and variant for Sirens.

Always happy for a blank variant. Look at that Frison variant! It’s creepy and fantastic! And it’s always fun to see Mephisto on the The End 2099 cover.

The next Momoko cover and a great Allred variant!

It’s always fun to see the title on a cover to be destroyed by something on the cover design. It’s a great Hughes cover. And this Anka variant is gorgeous.

I feel like it’s been a while since I got a Simone Di Meo cover. Hela looks great!

Another Ultimate Farewell cover, but this one I got for Maystorm. And here’s the next color block variant.

Dani looks spectacular on this Frisian variant.

The next Death Spiral connecting variant and color block variant.

I really like this character design. It reminds me very much of the Spider-Carnage design from the 90’s animated series. The main cover is by Stefano Caselli and Frederico Blee. The design variant is by Vecchio. And the other variant is of course a Momoko.

This is the next headshot variant by Aka. And the Gist variant of Dinn looks great!

Here’s the poster of the Werneck cover! It looks so good!

April 1, 2026

We got a MAD Magazine DC issue. Batman/Superman World’s Finest got to its 50th issue of this run. Kevin Smith is giving us a Bizarro miniseries! A new Alien title started. Also, a new MTG comic started focusing on the Planeswalker Jace. We got a Deadpool April Fool’s Day special. Wonder Man got a new run along with Daredevil getting a new run! Captain Marvel got a new miniseries! And the Eternals got a 50th Anniversary special!

This is a fantastic 1:25 incentive cover of Ivy for this Batman issue by David Aja. I’ve mentioned these 1:25 covers before that my store mostly doesn’t get if they don’t have the amount. So, it was nice that this issue got through.

These Poison Ivy variants look fantastic! The first is by Eom. The second by Manny Vincent Carbonilla. The dark and light colors look amazing!

I tend to like Christian Ward covers that are more landscapes or psychedelic designs, but that dragon looks cool! And the JSA variant is simply because of Spectre.

The variants for this commemorative issue.

Dan Mora is just so good!

The 50 design looks great! Adrián Gutiérrez did a great job! Vasco Georgiev drew Babs and Kara really well. And I always love seeing Batman Beyond TAS-style designs like this Ty Templeton one.

I love the way that Nick Pitarra and Michael Garland drew and colored the Bizarro Earth. And the other variant is one of the two Weird Al Yankovich cameo variants by Dan Mora.

This is the next of the Nakayama color block variants. This is, of course, the white cover set within the set. And the next variant is a Momoko cover that’s saying farewell to the Ultimate Universe.

Such a great Luciano Vecchio variant of Stephen and Angela.

The next Nakayama color block variant. And this is the next connecting cover.

A fun headshot variant by Phil Noto.

Some of the many variants for this new run’s number 1.

We have another Marvel Studios concept art variant by Jackson Sze of Muse. The next one is one from the 250th Anniversary of the United States by Greg Land. I love this Momoko variant of Daredevil. And I got a blank variant of course. And finally, a great dynamic variant by Dan Panosian.

When I first saw this cover revealed online, I thought that it was a Jen Bartel cover. I was excited to think that she’d returned to comics. But then I realized that it was a Werneck cover. It still looks fantastic! And the next cover is the next Nakayama color block variant. And another 250th Anniversary variant by Joelle Jones.

And the Celestials look fantastic on this ACO variant.

March 2026 Late Issues 3

All variants. The top three are second printing covers for Absolute Wonder Woman 16. The animation variants for Escape From Skull Island 1 and 2. And another copy of the homage cover for that Storm issue.

For longer than I’d like to, while sorting these piles, I thought that this first cover was just the first printing. Then I realized that the title was different and remembered that it was a second printing cover. The Guillem March variant looks great in foil. And the Mark Brooks cover is Absolutely gorgeous. So-much-so that I bought a graded copy of the issue on eBay a few minutes after taking the photo.

Completed Variant Sets 35 — April 10, 2026

These are the Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding variants for Jedi Knights.

As usual, they look great!

A nice connecting cover set by Guillem March that have a little overlap but almost connect properly.

Also slightly misaligned. But they do look nice together.

These are the ACO connecting set. They all look great!

But of course. The connecting aspect is horribly printed. I showed this design as a vertical image and a horizontal one since they both work. But yes. The first and last issues have a huge chunk of design missing between the next and precious issues respectively. And yet, the middle issues connect decently enough? So very strange.

Added 4 boxes. So we’re at 117 now!

March 25, 2026

Jigsaw showed his, uh, face, in this Punisher issue. Ultimate Endgame continued. Invincible Woman’s reign of terror continued. The mystery behind Kamala’s next death continued in Inglorious X-Force. Death Spiral continued. We got our next MCU tie-in with Fantastic Four First Foes. We got a new High Republic miniseries started with Pathfinder. Green Lantern got to its 600th issue! Superboy-Prime took over the Superman comic. The villains joined the Justice League in JLU. And we got the next DC/Marvel crossover issue with Superman/Spider-Man 1. Now, there are a lot of variants that I got, but just the variants alone will add $100 to my receipt, so I’m going to wait till May to bring them home. So, you’ll have to wait to see which of the many many variants that I got.

The next Marvel Presents variant of a character reading a Marvel comic.

The main cover and variant for Ultimate Endgame 3 with Maystorm featured.

The next Sai main Momoko variant.

Taurin Clarke gave us an amazing variant of King Ghidorah battling Galactus! And Godzilla is battling Galactus on this Justin Mason variant. Then there’s the next Shredder cover. And then I really liked the main cover for MMPR TMNT III 5 by Alessio Zonno.

So many variants!

The main (wraparound) cover is by Xermànico.

The first variant is of the brand new costume design for Kyle Rayner designed by David Nakayama! Then is the Aja variant. Then the symbol variant. Xermànico also did the corner box foil variant next.

Of course we also got a Koblish variant!

And then a fantastic glow-in-the-dark variant by Guillem March. Surprisingly no blank variant.

We got the next Harley variants. Main by Nakayama, first variant by Guillem March, paying homage to a famous painting, the next by Aset Kairambayev. And the final one by Leirix of course.

The main cover for this, by Hayden Sherman and Jordie Bellaire, has Absolute Zatanna on it so, yup.

Another issues with a bunch of variants, these are the ones I got.

The first one is another of the wraparound video game variant by Juan Ferreyra.

This amazing variant is by Taurin Clarke.

And Rod Reis gave us two variants with Superboy Prime reading two different comics.

This cover is here simply because of the Washington DC.

March 18, 2026

The Vishanti paid a visit to Wanda. The Danger Room continued to baffle the X-Men. Death Spiral carried on. Sentry got a new run started. The Titans title got a new team of Titans and a new title for the same comic! A new arc started in Absolute Flash, Nightwing, and Superman Unlimited. Batwoman, (The Main Man) Lobo, and Deathstroke all started new runs under the new DC banner called Next Level!!

This is such a great main cover by CAFU!

These are such fantastic covers for Sorcerer Supreme!

The main cover has the Vishanti on it, which is awesome. The next one is the Dauterman variant. After that is an homage variant to the original Secret Wars #12 (1984). The last one is a gorgeous one by Alex Maleev.

I love the AoA Sabretooth design. I also love the Magneto design. The former is by Joe Madureira and the latter is the next Brooks animated variant.

And look at that, another Maleev cover! This time it’s for Sentry’s new run. And then a second printing of the Magik and Colossus #1. The next is such an unexpected cover! Fox Mask Killer vs Invincible by Michael Walsh! And the last one is a Super Creepshow cover that’s is an homage of Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962).

The next Frank Cho, W. Scott Forbes and Leirix Catwoman covers respectively.

Taurin Clarke did such an amazing job at the main cover for this Titans issue. I don’t think that I’ve seen a Stephen Byrne cover before, I love this cover of Starfire and Nightwing.

Daniel Sampere & Tomeu Morey did a great job on this main cover for this issue. And of course there’s the next Nakayama variant for Wonder Woman.

Here’s the next Fornés cover for Nightwing.

The next variants for Superman Unlimited. ACO’s connecting variant and Ratcha Lin’s gorgeous variant which just looks like animation.

So many amazing covers for this issue!

We have a Stjepan Šejić variant, normal and foil versions of Artgerm’s variant, Jorge Corona and Sarah Stern’s variant and finally, a blank variant.

Lobo looks amazing on this Eom variant! And there’s the blank variant.

All the Deathstroke, all the time! All amazing covers!

The main one is by Carmine Di Giandomenico. The next one (and the foil cover) is by the fantastic Dan Panosian! The third one is another by Eom. Jorge Corona and Sarah Stern also gave us the next cover. And then of course there’s the blank variant.

This infamous date on this World’s Finest variant by Szerdy. And here’s the foil variant of by Dan Mora.

Completed Variant Sets 34 — March 25, 2026

Connecting variants first, as always. though, only one set is non-connecting covers.

Russell Dauterman just is amazing. These covers look fantastic! And yet, the connections are both misaligned and overlapping. It’s frustrating since it’s such a great design.

This looks just glorious, just don’t look too closely between the covers. I’d buy a poster of this.

Kaare Andrews did a great job on this design! This also is an overlap problem, but even when next to each other normally, it’s passable.

This design just looks so good.

Stefano Caselli deserved SO MUCH BETTER than what Marvel did to this design. But these covers are fantastic.

This was an overlap issue. And it just looks far too noticeable to have next to each other normally. But this design is great to look at. I can’t remember if I got the poster of this from the store, I think they just hung it up at the store.

And these are all the covers by Stjepan Šejiić for Sonja Reborn.

I (unsurprisingly) love his art!!

Added just one new box, a Darkseid covers box. So, we’re at 113 boxes.

March 11, 2026

Reign of the Superboys started. Aquaman is the Emperor. We got a new run for Usagi with Kaito. We got a food-related special that was supposed to be released in November. We got an X-Men special. Death Spiral continued. We also got a new title with Imperial Guardians. And Jessica Jones got a new Alias miniseries.

This main cover is by Will Conrad and Matt Herms. I like it for the legacy of the character on it.

The next Supergirl covers! The main cover and variants.

The main cover is of course by Dan Mora. Everyone looks amazing on it. ACO is doing a set of vertical connecting variants. Though, I already see a big printing issue with it. Dékal made Kara look amazing in the next variant. The next one is the next Leirix WHM variant. We got the logo variant. And then the Jiménez corner box foil cover looks fantastic!

The next Leirix variant. And Mirka Andolfo did this next gorgeous variant!

The next Sirens covers. The main and variants. I liked this Derrick Chew variant of Ivy. And the last variant is the next Lotay connecting variant.

This cover by Eduardo Mello I actually got accidentally, but it’s still a fun cover!

Love this Momoko variant! And this variant by Giuseppe Camuncoli is fun, I got it because Kamala is on there. Funnily enough, this variant was shown as the main cover for a while and then it got moved to the B cover.

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a Kendrick Lim cover. This looks great!

The main cover and variants for this issue that I got. The connecting covers are by Stefano Caselli. Now, I don’t know why they didn’t make this a wraparound cover. It would have been better than making the connecting part also a variant of the main cover. It’s just weird. Also, well, you’ll see in the next post. But the design looks great! Emma Frost looks amazing in both the Forbes variant and the Momoko variant respectively.

I mean look at these!!

Taurin Clarke made Ororo look amazing on this homage variant. And the Fan Yang variant looks great too!

I love seeing the cover that’s being paid homage to on the back of the variant. I’ve said that before, but it’s just great. And yeah. The Fan Yang variant looks so elegant.

I don’t often see Talavera doing characters with no human-like faces. This just looks so good!

David Mack. On the main cover for this Alias run. Amazing! I love all the main covers that I’ve seen so far! The first variant here is by JeeHyung Lee, it looks so good! And the last variant is a fantastic Vecchio variant!

Posters! This Jamal Campbell cover for the main cover poster is fantastic!

And here’s the David Mack cover poster!
