It was nice that this day was both new comic book day for the week and my birthday! I turned 36!

The Tidal War began in Aquaman. The Kingdom of Zod event continued. We got the next Death Vigil and Chachu issues. Chachu 1 got a second printing. Cheetara got a new run started. The Book of Boba Fett got a miniseries started that’s essentially the show in comic form. Doomquest continued. The Queen in Black event is almost over. And we got the next Mangaverse issue via Iron Knight.

This is the next Fornés emotion name variant for this title. And at last, this is the final (for now) Rian Gonzales variant for this title. It’ll be part of the next post.

John Timms gave us this tidal wave cover. It just looks so epic! And the variant I chose was another fantastic one by Mark Spears.

I love this Nimit Malavia variant!

The connecting main cover, by Lucas Meyer and Giuliano Peratelli, and variant is by Pete Woods.

There’s Kon-El! That’s all.

These are the next main cover and variant from Stjepan Šejić.

I wasn’t sure if he was doing two covers each wee or just for these first two. Otherwise I would have had this variant and the one from issue 1 be part of a set.

The second issue of Chachu gave us this great window shot. It’s by Marianna Ignazzi. And the other Chachu issue I got is the second printing of the first issue with the same artist just in orange. And the Cheetara variant is a Darboe design.

The two Iron Man variants that I got. The first is of course another Ross Timeless variant.

The next is by Dave Rapoza. I really love the details on this!

The main cover and variant that I chose for this first issue.

The main is by Alex Maleev and the variant is by Erik M. Gist.

These are the variants that I got for this Doomquest issue. The first is the next Vecchio homage cover. The next is as David Mack. And the third is the next Pixar cover, and it’s by Paco Medina.

Always happy to see David Mack covers.

This Black Cat cover is by Josemaria Casanovas. And it’s paying homage to the designs of classic pulp magazine covers and Sci-fi posters from the mid-20th century. The X-Force main cover is by R. B. Silva and David Curiel. Happy that Kamala is on the cover. And the last one is by Yuji Kaku again, it’s the next main cover in the series.

Absolute Batman’s annual from last year got a 4th printing. A Black Label Superman miniseries started focusing on his early days. We got a Weird Al Yankovic one-shot from DC. The Bad Seeds DC event continued. We got a new Teen Titans team led by Red Hood. The Legion of Superheroes got a new run started and the future looks a bit darker than previous versions of it. Speaking of dark, Doom Patrol also got a new dark run started. I guess people really liked the Supernatural 10-issue miniseries and the Castiel special, because not only do we have another special here with Wayward, but there are soon to be two spin-off’s of the comic, one focusing on Sam and another on Dean. We got a facsimile issue of a Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom adventure from the past. No doubt in preparation for Avengers: Doomsday in December. We got a Punisher vs the Marvel Zombies universe miniseries. There was an X-Men 10-issue digital miniseries that got a physical release via X-Men Omega Red Dawn. Spider-Woman got a 50th anniversary one-shot before her new run starts. Marvel had a Mangaverse at some point and we’re getting five one-shots of those characters. Frank and Wade have a mini event series that started this week. Both Queen in Black and Avengers Armageddon continued.

The main cover (Dan Schoening and Luis Andito Delgado) and Spears variant! Always happy for more Weird Al!

This first variant is by Reiko Murakami. The next one is by Rafa Sandoval and Ulises Arreola, I love the trapped in an action figure box design. And the last one is an Artgerm paying homage to DKR.

The variants that I chose for this new Titans team’s issue 1.

The two non-blank variants are by Dan Mora and then there’s the blank. Though, I really only got this title because I was excited to see Flatline on the team (also Liam’s version of Cheshire). Unfortunately, it seems like Flatline isn’t on the team. She’s not even in the first issue (I flipped through it quickly at the store).

The main cover and variants that I liked.

Th main cover is by Hayden Sherman and Tamra Bonvillain. It feels like silver age art.

This Dan Mora variant gave us a celebrity cameo via Michael J. Fox. Mark Spears crafted Braniac. And Yasmin Putri gave us this tense scene with a sprinkle of joy on a cover.

Niko Henrichon did this main cover and also the interior art for this first issue.

More SPN photo variants!

Another great Putri variant! Jen Bartel gifted us with the next variant. and Peach Momoko did this crossover issue.

Daredevil variants.

The first one, in a lovely x-ray theme is by Jock. And the second one is by Todd Nauck, paying homage to the past.

Alex Ross gave us Crystal. While artist gave us the next Pixar anniversary variant.

Such a great Momoko design!

The main cover by Valerio Schiti and Romulo Fajardo Jr. and the Alex Ross variant.

The recent comics are from around now. The large Superman Spider-man issues are the variants of the facsimile crossover issues from a few months ago. And the Gun Honey comics are super-sized.

The blank variants will be so fun to get art on. The other variant is by Alex Ross.

This Momoko variant I got again because I forgot that I’d wanted two, one for the art and one for the character Sightseer. And Flash variant is by Claudio Castellini and Arif Prianto. And this one is a creative cover with him running up the building that is the comic. And I just liked this Derrick Chew variant for Harley.

These oversized covers are by Adam Hughes. And the backing board is there to show the size compared to these issues. I forgot to take these photos till I’d already put away the other issues.

NSFW warning! Some variants below show a lot of skin.

We got another What If story. Frank and Felicia are still having their adventure. Logan was dealing with a lot, as usual. We got an Apocalypse miniseries started. Gwen and Peter seem to be at-odds. This was the last issue of this Supernatural run, but there are a few more titles spinning out of this one. We got more Hello Darkness and Gun Honey. Hal had to deal with Condiment King!? A new arc started in Absolute Wonder Woman. Deadshot got a one-shot (pun very much intended), and it’s even called One Shot. Kingdom of Zod continued. Bad Seeds also continued.

The main cover and the variants for this facsimile issue. The main and foil covers are by George Pérez and Tom Smith. And the first variant is by Alex Ross.

The next of my variants for the Power Rangers comic. The Mercado variant has one of my favorite MMPR villains on it. And there’s the next blank variant.

Blood and gore warning.

Static became an official Teen Titan! Nightwing was perhaps having some legal troubles. We got more from the Kingdom of Zod event. We got a What If one-shot based on the Runaways. Certain people didn’t quite feel like themselves in both Uncanny X-Men and Inglorious X-Force. Queen in Black and Avengers Armageddon both continued. And Thor got to its 800th issue!

The New Titans main cover and the variants that I chose.

The main cover is by Taurin Clarke. Everyone on the cover looks amazing! The first and last (foil) variants are by Dike Ruan. Static looks cool with his logo behind him. The foil version looks great! And the second variant with Jon and Virgil is by Lucas Meyer.

I counted it as a creative cover.

Then, we got a Nakayama variant of Lobo!

The next Deathstroke covers.

The main cover is by Carmine Di Giandomenico. The first variant is by Dan Panosian, I like the mirroring design. Dike Ruan did the next variant. And the last one is by Carlos D’Anda. it’s also in the style of the All-In covers from months ago! So, I guess that I’ll add another copy of this to that collection.

I liked this Ash Wood variant for this a Shredder issue! Also, that’s such a cool name.

The next Baldari main cover for Aladdin and variant that I wanted.

This fantastic Jafar variant is by Jae Lee.

The main is of course by Alex Ross still. The first variant is a costume collage design of Loki from Dauterman. I always love those.

Just a late Flash Fact variant.

I see many Lanterns. We got the next Clayface issue. Gargoyles got a new run started. We got a title called Gastronomique. We got a new run for Kylo Ren showing his fall. Jeff got a new miniseries with some mash-up characters. X-Men 97 Season 2 got it’s penultimate issue. X-Men getting to issue 35 is a bit crazy for me since I’ve not even gotten to the previous run’s issue 35. I’m not too far, but they got all-the-way to the next 35th issue. And Miles got a new run started!
