Completed Variant Set 43 — July 19, 2026

So since I had such a delay the previous week, I had to sort all 4 week’s of comics on one day. But these are still the most recent week’s sets. I just sorted away all of them on one day. It took around 10 hours!!

Here are the wonderful W. Scott Forbes variants.

The lighting and colors are so good! I always enjoy his work. Also these covers are so different!

These are the Mirka Andolfo main covers for Ursula.

Another set where different types of covers are displayed.

I love these half portrait variants covers by Aka! Such great detail!

They do look great next to each other. But also…

They look great vertically! I did my best to line up the saber blades.

But this is the best shot. I hadn’t actually realized that his face was changing till I saw them all together. These look amazing!

I added 3 boxes. So we’re at 126.

July 15, 2026

This was so many issues.

Selena wasn’t having a good day. Tera was making waves. Wonder War! Absolute Grodd! More from Super Sons? Kate and her sister Alice were going bat-to-bat. The new Deathstroke, The Terminator’s identity was revealed. Dark Knights of Steel got a sequel run. The final issue of this first volume of The Kyoshi Warriors dropped. The final issue of Ursula also happened. We got a another What if one-shot about if Jessica Jones had been bitten by the spider that bit Peter. So much is going on with Hulk, or should I say, to his body. We got the second issue of Avengers Armageddon and a tie-in issue via Captain America. And We got a new DSTLRY title with A Mischief of Magpies.

The next Catwoman variants! The first being a Cho and Rich. The second being a Forbes. And the last is a Homare.

This Homare variants looks so good!

So much orange! Though that makes sense with Tera here.

The main cover is by Taurin Clarke of course and the next creative cover is by Ethan Young.

The next Wonder Woman variants. The Nakayama one looks so good! And the other one is by Miguel Mercado.

This looks picturesque.

Another variants my Mirka Andolfo. And another variants by Eom.

Superman Unlimited covers!

The main cover is another by a Taurin Clarke. And the variant is by Zoe Thorogood. It’s reminds me of some piece of art, but I can’t remember what.

The next Batwoman covers. The Stjepan Šejić variant looks great of course.

This Scott Forbes variant looks so good too!

Another variant by Andolfo! Lobo seems to be relaxing.

Deathstroke covers! I had the main cover on here before, but then I changed my mind when I saw that it wasn’t Rose he was fighting.

The first variant is by Jeff Spokes. The next is by Panosian. And the last is by Carlo Pagulayan, Jason Paz and Elmer Santos.

Danny Earls and Jāo Canola did this first variant. And Scott Hanna did the next.

The next Taurin Clarke connecting variant and the next blank in the set.

Werneck is doing a great job with these What If main covers. And the variant is by Michael Gaydos. An artist I haven’t had in a long while.

X-Men covers! The next Nakayama blue block cover look great!

The main cover is by Tony S. Daniel (another name I haven’t heard in a while). And the other Cyclops variant is a great-looking color-bleed cover is by Matteo Della Fonte.

The next Inglorious X-Force covers! The next Nakayama color block variant looks gorgeous.

This variant is by Juann Cabal and IT HAS KAMALA ON IT. Huzzah!!

The next Nakayama variant of Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic. And a fun computer game Galactus’s face.

Simone Di Meo made Jen look fantastic! and I got my first of the 40th Pixar homage variants!

Another Nakayama! Carol looks fab. And one of the Alex Ross Marvel Dimensions variants.

Another Marvel Dimensions variant. Another Nakayama variant, and a nice wraparound cover for the 250th (Semiquincentennial) Anniversary of the country. This was by CAFU.

It looks good.

July 8, 2026

We got the second issue of Absolute Catwoman. There’s trouble brewing for the Emperor of Atlantis. Kara is seeing double. Clayface got a new run started (no doubt to help hype-up the show that drops next month). Firestorm is catching some feelings. The Fugitive Doctor has a multi-media event that just started (Just not on-screen). Sonic the Hedgehog got a 35th Anniversary special. Aladdin got a new run.Rascal Randy got a spin-off of Exquisite Corpses. Shadow of Maul got to its final issue! Now I can read what happened before the show that ended last month. Felicia and Frank are having a time. Jeff got a couple new comics. Taskmaster is all up in Logan’s business. The Uncanny X-Men are dealing with some aliens. I have no idea what’s going on with Wanda. We got a Shalla-Bal special that is akin to the other First Foes one-shots spinning out of the Fantastic Four movie. DSTLRY is back with weekly issues for now. And we got the next issue of the X-Men 97 season 2 prequel comic that will end weeks after this season ends (the same as with Maul).

We finally got the next issue of White Boat!

Love this Andolfo variant for Absolute Catwoman.

John Timms gave us this detailed main cover. And Rahzzah did this amazing cover of Arthur.

This is the next variant of the Emotional Spectrum words. And this is the next Gonzales variant of course.

Supergirl covers! I still don’t know what to do with these as a collection. I think I may just have the main covers and the Artgerm covers together as a collection, and just put the other covers in various artist boxes or the Supergirl character covers box.

The main cover is by Sophie Campbell. I like the color contrast. The Kris Anka variant is orange, huzzah! The Rahzzah cover looks so fun! The next variant is by Karl Kerschl. And the last one is by Arial Diaz.

I really like the main cover by Fran Galán. The colors and line-work are amazing! And the movie poster variants are going to be such fun to get.

Guillem March made this gorgeous variant of Firehawk. And look at that Rahzzah cover of Firestorm!

I’m always happy for a photo variant from Doctor Who.

The main covers for this run are by Nicoletta Baldari. And the Jafar cover is great by J. Scott Campbell! And a blank variant of course.

The main covers are of course by Gurihiru. And Rian Gonzales did this fun foil variant.

The foil works nicely.

I think that this is the last MTG card variant. It’s by Eric Deschamps. And this is another Marvel Television variant.

Another great Baldari cover! Jubilee looks great! And David Mack made Echo look fantastic! And this is one of the first InHyuk Lee Marvel SNAP swimsuit variants.

The next Leirix main cover. Gurihiru did this fun Wanda cover. The Rian Gonzales variant was next. and the Aka variant looks so great!

The colors looks so fantastic!

These covers are just for Galan of course.

The min cover is by Phil Noto of course. The first variant is the Marvel Studios variant. The next variant is by Mark Buckingham.

This is the next animation variant by Vy Tran. And this is an amazing Mingyi Gan variant!

I’m starting to get into this artist.

Completed Variant Set 42 — July 17, 2026

I had a family emergency right after I took the photos of the previous posts. So I had to delay taking these photos for literally a week.

Double Nakayama for this post! This first set is David’s recent Green Lantern covers. It’s cool because he designed the new costume for Hal! And this new character, Odyssey, looks great too! The latter two are consecutive issue and that 600th one is a couple issues before them.

The colors look amazing together!

This connecting set is by Phil Jimenez and Arif Prianto. Such great covers!

The image itself looks fantastic! There were overlap issues for all of these, but only because of the card stock covers always end up being a little more narrow than they should be. Also, I have that poster of this image anyway, so it’s fine if these don’t line up perfectly.

More David Nakayama! This is such a great connecting image! Each of them are drawn and colored so well!

Together they look fantastic! These had misalignment and overlap.

I was still at 123 boxes at this point.

July 1, 2026

The Ōjō returned! Ivy had the power. Darkseid vs Spectre! Power Rangers got another new run focusing on the original MMPR Trini and other rangers throughout time. Saw Gerrera got his own one-shot to celebrate a decade since Rogue One. We got a What if story. The Shadow King is playing games again. War Machine is back! (I’m still so far behind in reading, so I don’t know where he went!) Spidey is still dealing with this new Vulture. We got a Doctor Doom special. And we got another summer special from Marvel. And of course a next issue from a DSTLRY title.

Many Batman covers! Other than the second cover below, I got all the rest because of Ōjō being on the cover.

The main cover is by Jorge Jiménez and Tomeu Morey. Second is a Dustin Nguyen. the next one is by Jorge Molina. The fourth is an incentive cover by David Aja. And the fifth is just a foil version of the main cover.

Such a great variant by Eom! And I love that Darkseid vs Spectre battle going on in the background!

More Deadman variants. One by Alex-Eckman LsA. And another by Mark Spears.

Such a great variant of Trini by Inhyuk Lee. The next is a connecting issue which seemingly includes all rangers. And a blank as usual.

The next Rogue One decade anniversary one-shot featuring Saw Gerrera.

Such a great variant by Werneck! And this Deadpool variant, I wonder if they’ll ever give this one it’s issue similar to how Gwenpool came to be.

The next variants for X-Men United! Love the Nakayama variant and the Inhyuk Lee of Psylocke. the second variant is by Meghan Hetrick.

Such a great cover!

The next Marvel Dimensions from Alex Ross and a gorgeous Hellfire costume swap by Vecchio.

A fun Momoko variant!

These are the covers I got.

The J. Scott Campbell wraparound main cover is fun! And I got most of the variants that I wanted. Always happy to see another Artgerm! And the Aka cover is amazing!

The next City Beneath her Feet.

June 24, 2026

Very late with these posts. The past week has been one big family emergency.

This was the largest week in a long time. I had to separate the first week’s pile into DC/other for photo one and Marvel for photo two. Also, there were 6 Nakayama covers this week!

Bat-Quinn is still here. Wally and Grodd have hands. Superboy Prime is having issues. The Justice League were very busy. We got a Supergirl summer special akin to last year’s Superman summer special. The new Venom gets newer. Doomquest continued. We got a new title with X-Men Outback. Our time with this new Ultimate Universe ended with the final issue of Ultimate Endgame and Ultimate Universe Finale. But also, aspects of it bled through into the 616 with Reborn Ultimate Impact.

7 months since the previous issue.

The next Nakayama variant and the next Putri variant! Both looking fantastic!

The next Nakayama variant and the InHyuk Lee variant.

Superman main cover and the variants that I chose.

The main one I liked because of the history of Superman being the background of the panels. The Diaz variant is so colorful and bold! Artgerm brilliantly captured Milly Alcock’s likeness. And the last one is by Aaron Bartling.

So many themes on these JLU variants!

I’m always happy to see Black Lightning on a cover and also looking great as graffiti by Redondo. Mary Marvel looks stunning via Szerdy’s art. The next one is by Yasmin Flores Montañez, it’s so dynamic! And the last one is of course by the Eisner Award-winning artist Bilquis Eveley and also Matt Lopes.

The next Dream Girls covers. The main cover and the connecting variant.

The main cover and the couple variants that I liked for this special.

The main cover is by Belen Ortega. The next one is by Mahmud Asrar and Mike Spicer. It’s one of the Supergirl movie variants. And the last one is a Lotay variant.

The next Zatanna covers!

Jamal Campbell on the main of course. Talaski the next one. And then final one is by Carla Cohen!

Just a fun Saowee variant with Starfire on it.

The next Venom covers!

That is a great use of the foil aspect! Thank you Martín Cóccolo! And the other is my Clayton Crain variant.

The next Alex Ross Marvel Dimensions variant and the next MTG variant for Capt.

Same for these Hulk variants.

The next Vecchio homage variant from this set. And one of Doom’s MTG card art as a variant.

There were a lot of variants for this debut issue.

The main one is by Dauterman. The spectacular foil one is by Kaare Andrews. The next one that looks like an album cover is by Anka. And the gorgeous Psylocke one is by Villalobos.

The main cover and the Ultimate Finale variant.

I got this because Maystorm is on the left (even if obscured by the title).

The main cover and the bunch of variants that I got, which is almost all the variants.

The main cover is a Noto. Next is a Kael Ngu. After that is Benjamin Su’s foil variant. Then the Momoko variant. The next is by Bryan Hitch. And the final one is by Ryan Stegman. Other than the Hitch variant, all the other covers that I got were because of Maystorm. The Hitch one was because of America Chavez.

June 17, 2026

Two issues away from not being able to fit everything on the bed! Lordy.

The New Titans have a lot going on for them. Galaxy and Dreamer are in trouble. Kara drops by Lobo’s issue. Rose and Slade are hanging out, and I’m sure it went well. Wanda has eyes for someone, or do they have eyes for her? K’un L’un is dealing with a war god. Patsy and Wonder Man are a thing. Peter has something monumental to talk about. And we got MAD Magazine’s 600th issue!

The main cover and the first of the Nakayama connecting variants. The main cover is here because I just really like the character design of Absolute Two-Face.

The next Catwoman covers. This is the Antepenultimate Frank Cho variant! It’s going to be crazy to get all those variants together in August. And this is the penultimate Forbes variant.

I love this Taurin Clarke main cover! And this is a fun Pride summer variant by Rachael Stott.

This is such a creepy main cover by Fornés. And this Dan Mora Supergirl movie variant is fantastic!

Another fantastic Clarke main cover! It’s like a scene in a horror movie. And another Supergirl movie variant, this one by the great Mitch Gerads.

The next Dream Girls covers. The main one because of Dreamer of course. The first variant is the next connecting cover. And the Pam variant is by Oscar Vega. She looks amazing!

I forgot that I chose almost all the covers for this issue.

This Talaski variant looks so good! The Gerald Parel variant is so dynamic. The Betsy Cola variant looks great! And the Mark Spears is glorious!

Two fun Lobo variants.

The first one is by Simon Bisley. And the Jason Momoa cameo variant is by Dan Mora.

More Deathstroke!

The main cover is by Carmine Di Giandomenico. Dan Panosian did the first variant. Then it’s a David Aja one. Next is a Cully Hammer variant. And this fantastic last one is a Mark Spears.

The next photo variants.

A slight NSFW warning. So many variants of this design and I still need two more!

Such a gorgeous Artgerm design!

I love this next Frison variant! This is the next homage variant for Super Creepshow. And it’s always nice to see an Andolfo cover on a book that I don’t know.

The next Inglorious X-Force cover to actually have Kamala on the covers.

Kris Anka’s variant of Emma Frost looks stunning! I love that Kate got a Pride variant. It’s by Luciano Vecchio. I didn’t want any of the soccer variants except this one just because I enjoy the art from Alessandro Cappuccio. And of course that’s the next Ross variant.

The main cover is by Patrick Gleason and Dean White. I like this cover just because of May and Ben on the cover. The Ross variant looks fantastic. Of course Black Cat got a Pride variant. And I got this New Vulture cover since I always enjoy getting covers with new character designs on them. This one is by Francesco Manna.

Just one poster this time. I’m excited for this Clayface run.

June 10, 2026

I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have a Late Issues post, haha. Also, this is an NSFW warning for one of the images below.

These two weeks had SO MANY comics!! My wallet was certainly mad at me.

We got a facsimile edition of an old Supergirl comic. Absolute Green Arrow 1 got second printings. Absolute Catwoman got a title. Kara is having quite the day. We got the next Dream Girls issue. Castiel got a one-shot Supernatural issue. Frank and Felicia are having a grand old time. The Omen has an eye out for Daredevil. Bishop got a new run started. We got a great comic by Kevin Smith featuring Jay & Silent Bob, paying homage Days of Future Past. The summer event Avengers Armageddon started!

These are both facsimiles. It’s always fun seeing the old ads in these kinds of issues. I liked the covers.

This Adam Hughes cover is so fun! And the action figure variant is by Jason Geyer. I love that some of the action figure covers have the back of the toy backing card on the back of the comic.

More second printings! The first is by Ivan Tao. And the other is a foil version of cover D by Lotay.

So, I got some of the Supergirl movie variants, but I didn’t get them for having the set of them. This one is a Leirix variant. (By the way, the movie is great, watch it!)

The variants that I chose for this issue.

Of course I was happy to get another Nakayama variant. The blank variant. And then a great foil variant.

The next GLC variants by Jorge Fornés and Rian Gonzales.

Fantastic variants! I still don’t know what to do with these yet.

Bruno Redondo, Chrissie Zullo-Uminga and Jim Lee variants! Love all of these!

The next Dreamer covers.

The main cover by Brandt & Stein and the connecting variant by Phil Jimenez and Arif Prianto which I got another copy of because of Dreamer being on it.

I got this Matteo Scalera cover mainly for most of it being orange, but it’s also well-done.

Then next photo variants. They started doing two photo variants per issue. And there’s the blank variant of course.

I’ve not heard of this comic but the art was amazing on these variants! The first two are for the Anime theme in my collection. The third one is an NSFW cover. So, of course this is an NSFW warning.

The first is by Samaru. I love the design of this. It looks like it’s from an anime. And the next cover looks like it’s from a manga. It’s by Autumn Bellflower. And the NSFW variant is by Zawayuki. I like how the crop (on mobile at least) censored the cover perfectly.

Such great variants! The MTG variant is by Victor Adame Minguez.

The main cover is an homage cover for Punisher’s first issue. The variant is by Anand Ramcheron. It’s such a great design! And I think I’ve not had a cover by them in years.

The MTG variant is by Jesper Ejsing. And the other is of course Alex Ross.

The next Daredevil covers. the MTG variant is by Carrie’s Susilo.

The main cover is by Lee Garbett, I liked the creative design. And this is the next Marvel Television variant.

The main cover is by Davide Paratore. And the variant is Skottie Young.

Such fun covers! I’m glad that this issue got an MTG variant! Lucky!

I love that we got a Michael Allred variant and a Phil Noto variant for this issue.

These are the covers I chose for this issue. It was also cool that these issues came with the MTG card that is also the third variant here. So I have 6 of those cards.

This first one is a promo cover, but I thought it was part of a set, nope, haha. and I Love this Frison variant!

Completed Variant Set 40 — June 12, 2026

This is such a cute Leirix set!

I guess we’ll get another run of this since the final issue ending suggests it. Them all together just looks like a date montage sequence.

These are by InHyuk Lee of course. That first variant is part of the Streetwear variant set by him too, so I had to go get it out of a binder. But yeah, these covers look so dynamic!

I like that each of these show them in different era outfits for each character.

It took a bit for me to realize that this set was only between these two titles and only two covers per title. Gist did these covers so well, as expected. Though I would have liked one of Rotta too!

They still look good together though.

Added two boxes, so it’s at 123!
