I think this is the final issue for Jenny Sparks. The Green Lanterns got a one-shot special setting up the next era for them all. We got another What if Galactus focusing on Moon Knight. The next issue of Alien Paradiso dropped. We got the next issue of the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated series tie-in comic. That show starts in a week! The new Ultimate universe’s Wolverine got a title. T’Challa has his eyes on Miles. A new era of artists starts for Thor. Storm’s next issue drops, it has quite the ending (yes, I flipped through it)! Electra and Laura butt heads. And we got a new miniseries set when Rogue lived in The Savage Land. And we got a new title started with DSTLRY.

A nice minimalistic cover for this title.

The next batch of What if Galactus covers! Including that last one being an homage cover of Tales to Astonish 9 (1959).

Angela and Hela look amazing on these variants!! Lucas Werneck did an amazing job with Starlord’s sister! And Jan Bazaldua made Hela look fantastic.

Such great covers for Storm! I forgot to take a photo of this homage cover. And of course that’s another cover with a character reading a comic. And of course another Nakayama cover!

I mean LOOK how amazing Ororo looks in this cover!

And again, there are so many amazing covers for this new Rogue run. These were the ones I chose. The main cover looks great. The Dauterman character design is fantastic! Adam Hughes did a great foil cover and J. Scott Campbell made a wonderful cover too.

This is such an intriguing acetate cover for New Gods 2!

It was SO nice that these piles were so small!

We got a new Aquaman run. We got another Disney-themed What If comic and another Galactus What If issue. Electra’s Daredevil got a new run! Uncanny X-Men ends this mini event. Some interesting villains in Wolverine. Magik got a new run! And we got a new title called New Champions. At first, when I first saw this title was coming, months ago, I wasn’t sure what to think about it. The current Champions are still a team and are still teenagers. So I was very apprehensive of this new team. I did have to flip through it to see if there was anything connecting to the other Champions. It did not. So I wasn’t sure I was going to like this title whenever I get to reading it. But. I did see that they do touch upon that conflict with both teams in issue three. So, I feel better about it now. It just seemed like so many new characters being introduced that I thought it would be too much.

Hello new Aquaman run! The main cover and the foil cover.

Foil!

I got this variant because the artist usually does anthropomorphic animals and this just seemed like a perfect what if cover for her. Fantastic work from Chrissie Zullo Uminga.

This is such a great homage cover based on the iconic Web of Spider-Man 32 (1987), one of the Kraven’s Last Hunt covers.

Look at these amazing variants for this new run! The first by Stephanie Hans and the second one by Joshua ‘Sway’ Swaby! Gorgeous!

I was so happy that Kamala is on both these variants! Such fun covers!

There were so many wonderful Magik variants to choose from, I chose the ones I loved most!

I’m always happy to see design variants. The second one is by the wonderful JeeHyung Lee, such a great dynamic pose. And of course, there’s the wonderful Nakayama cover!! That also is one of the designs that got to be on the short box made from the main cover also.

Such great covers for these new champions! The first one I got because it shows all the characters. The second cover is paying homage to Champions 1 (2016). The third one is of course by Artgerm, brilliant as always. And the wonderful Peach Momoko did the fourth cover.

The next main issue cover.

Happy New Year!! I wish whoever reads this a wonderful year! And if it’s past this year when you’re reading this, I hope you had a good 2025 that year!

We got the next Galactus What If story. The Ahsoka adaptation continued. Felicia joins the Avengers, briefly, I’m sure. Cable got a miniseries spinning out of Timeslide. Bruce is having a tough time. Ivy seemingly is also. Is that a giant Mr. Mind or a tiny Shazam? The Birds of Prey be preying. And we got a new title called Justice League: The Atom Project starring three atomic-related heroes.

There will be some posters at the end of this!

So many Galacti! That second one is my favorite of the bunch. The last one is a fun homage cover, and it’s one of the ones that shows the original on the back!

I really like the main cover of this issue, the details on the faces in the slash and her face are just so good! And the variant is just a fun and intimidating couple cover!

As before, love these Ahsoka covers and need the rest!

Love these covers! Taurin Clarke did a fantastic job with the main cover! I will always get a Mr. Garcin cover, I love collage covers.

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve gotten a Dan Hipp cover! This Batman one is fun. And I love that these next three are all themed together even though they’re all different titles. The Birds of Prey variant is just gorgeous, the Black Canary variant is stunning and dynamic, and the Batgirl cover is elegant!

Another amazing Spears cover!

More wonderful Ivy covers! Of course Frison covers are a mainstay. This next one was the only intentional Sweater Weather variant I got since Pam looks great! The Dan Hipp cover is also part of the set, but I didn’t know nor intend to get it at first.

Posters! Creature Commandos is such an amazing show! The writing and art and acting is all brilliant! A wonderful start to James Gunn’s DCU!

Such great main covers for both Magik and Rogue’s titles! I’m happy to have them as posters!

Happy Christmas! Also, I’m extremely late with these posts!

Whatever is happening in Action Comics continues to intrigue me! Also, I wonder where Flash is with that giant worm thing. Oliver’s having a time on that cover. Doomsday is soon to return! JLU continues. And Metamorpho got a new run, probably to prep kids for him appearing in the Superman movie later this year. All sorts of chaos seems to be happening in the X-titles. And Sabretooth got a new run! Both Peter and Tony are in the middle of their own events. Kidpool and Spider-Boy got a one-shot. And we got the next anthology of what’s to come in Marvel this year with Timeslide.

The main cover and the Spears variant that connects to the variant from last issue.

I liked this main cover because it showed all these villains from Clark’s past and present. Kind of a legacy cover.

It’s always great when David Nakayama had multiple covers in a week, it’s even better when it’s two from the same issue! That first one is his normal variant for the issue and the other one is the last of his 6 Spotlight issues. And of course the next Fornés cover in the middle.

I really like the creature and the background of this Flash issue. The details are fantastic! And I love this Gist cover for Green Arrow.

These are the two variants of JLU 2 that I liked the most.

I didn’t actually know that issue two would also be getting this UV foil treatment for a variant, so I guess the first issue variant is part of a set. It looks and feels great!

I just liked the designs and details of this one. I thought for a moment that it was showing the Trinity in their first costumes (going of Batman), but after I realized they weren’t, I just liked it anyway.

This GL Dark variant is cool! Reiko Murakami did a great job! And this Labyrinth cover is just gorgeous by Nimit Malavia.

Paolo Rivera did a fantastic job on the main cover for this issue. And, as always, Jenny Frison brings the beauty to the other variant, oh and let’s not forget the horror!

Galactus. That is all.

I love this Hanukkah cover with Kitty. It’s such a lovely representation of Jewish culture. Many people forget or don’t know that she’s always been Jewish.

I love all these covers! And that they’re all in my favorite Sabretooth costume is why they’re all here.

The detail on that main cover is amazing. And I love the second one’s colors. The third is just a fun Frank Miller cover.

Two fantastic variants for this issue! That second one is from the Casanovas set.

This one is just like an amazing painting from a gallery. This is by Puppeteer Lee. I don’t think I have anything from them, but I hope I see more!

A new Windowshades cover for Firestorm

I’ve been waiting for these covers! The main cover is of course amazing with two of my favorite time-traveling mutants. And the second one is a brilliant Nakayama cover showing some of my favorite colors that I see from him. Orange and green are always done very well. And of course seeing Kamala on there was a nice surprise! Though, she’s not in much of the issue, I did flip through a bit since I’m not sure when I’ll get to reading this.

SO MANY ISSUES. 5 more and I wouldn’t have been able to fit them all! At some point I think I will have to switch some titles to TPB’s only. Also, Happy Holidays!

We got a Marvel holiday special featuring Alligator Loki. The last issue of Ahsoka dropped. I’m intrigued about what’s happening in Deadpool and Thor. Mole Man returns in Fantastic Four! Hellverine got a title. TVA also got a title! The High Republic got a wedding special! Gargoyles also had a holiday special. Sonic the Hedgehog got to its 75th issue. The next issue of this Sweet Paprika spin-off dropped! Allwinter ended with this issue. I think this is the last Plastic Man issue. The next issue of Absolute Batman arrived. So much is going on in the Action Comics issue! We got a Green Arrow and Green Lantern special that connects to the upcoming event. DC has a lot going on in those following titles! Plus we got new runs for both Challengers of the Unknown and The New Gods!

Just such a great Ahsoka Clarke cover! And I like this Sabine cover! I still need to get the incentive covers.

This is such a gorgeous MJ cover from JeeHyung Lee!

Such great Deadpool covers!

I really do love this character design! I will keep saying it!

This Dauterman cover is him paying homage to the Mighty Thor run. And this is an intense Magneto cover, I’m not sure if this refers to another cover or not.

Two great variants for this issue!

This looks so amazing! I like the lighting on the costume and the katana looks great!

It’s a 75th issues for Sonic, and it’s just cool art.

For this final issue it ends with these two Deathstroke variants.

Okay, look at this Spears cover! Did I not tell you? I love the team shot and the art of course. I’m still not sure if I want to have this in the artist collection of the character covers collection. If I can’t decide, I’ll just have to get another copy for both collections!

Another Frank Cho cover, and the next Nakayama Spotlight cover!

Such a nice Titans cover! And I like this Parrillo The Question cover! And I really enjoy this New Gods cover because of the Source Wall being depicted. It’s not something that’s often shown, never mind on a cover.

Problems for the Super-family continue. Something big is starting for the Green Lanterns. Lois apparently has super powers again in a special. The Gotham City Sirens got a cover special. We got an Alien comic that takes place between the first two movies, and 11 years after the Alien Romulus movie. We got a special focusing on pets who wear Deadpool costumes. The Battle of Jakku continued. A year after the new Ultimate Universe debuted we got the first issue of a miniseries about that. There is an 8 Deaths of Spider-Man event that I really didn’t notice was happening, so that’s just whatever is going on there, though Cyttorak is involved. A lot seems to be going on with Wanda and Jean in their respective titles. There is an X-Men event happening too that I don’t know much about, though I know the general plot. Te other X-titles are moving forward. And Laura finally has a new Wolverine run! Infinity Watch has been building up to this issue. There was a Star Wars Insider issue. And finally, three DSTLRY issues, including two new titles.

Such a fun wraparound cover for this new DSTLRY title.

I like that they also gave us a holiday issue.

Interesting that this isn’t a wraparound cover. It is a nice cover.

Yes I did this again with the connecting covers that come out on the same day, haha. They’re a great set! Mark Spears does an amazing job with every cover. And there are a bunch recently. And of course one of the next Nakayama Spotlight covers!

I love this Superwoman cover! The designs, the character of Lois having powers and a little bit of legacy. And of course, this Homare cover is gorgeous!

Great covers for this next Jakku issues!

This is a really exciting cover to exist, because it depicts the character Gallius Rax!! He is the villain in the Star Wars Aftermath (2015-2017) novel trilogy, there have never been any images of him, so it’s great to finally get one.

Between the Phoenix and Scarlet Witch books, their covers are just so good! Love the Death variant!

Love this Dauterman cover! And of course such a fun Momoko cover! And it’s similar to the 2024 SDCC Momoko cover which also featured Wanda and Jeff!

Another bunch of gorgeous Phoenix covers!! Yasmine Putri, Pablo Villalobos and Jessica Fong respectively all did brilliantly on these!

It’s nice to have two Frison covers in the same week! Lorna and Alison look fantastic!

Ah, I totally forgot to take the single photo of the foil cover with the foil being illuminated. Whoops! But it does look great! and of course a nice logo variant.

Just a fun homage variant based on the upcoming animated series and of course the famous Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962) cover.

As usual, love these covers!! They’re all going to look amazing when I get them all together!

VERY LATE POST. Diamond had a problem with the regional warehouse they stored stuff in, in that they were being kicked out, so a lot of Marvel and other issues were (and still are) delayed.

I spy the Court of Owls in Batman. The Super-family is having powers problems, while the JSA are having other problems.Two-Face got a new run. We got a DC Christmas Special and a Marvel one. X-Men seems to ramping up towards an event. And we got a new Venom run after the events of Venom War.

(As I finish typing everything in this post, I’m off to two movies! So, there will be two movie posts soon to come today!)

Fun variants for this issue!

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve seen a Jonboy Meyers cover, I really liked this one!

Of course, I love this next Gonzales cover and I thought it paired well with this Batgirl issue, which has wonderful art.

These Frison and Nakayama covers are just stunning! This is the first of David Nakayama’s spotlight artist covers of 6.

This Sweeney Boo Supergirl cover is just light and fun. And this is the next spotlight covers from Nakayama. And I think one of my favorite covers he’s done. And that’s saying a lot since I love all this covers! Haha. I even went and preordered a signed graded copy of it that will get here at some point…that reminds me that I need to some graded posts here soon as I’ve gotten a bunch recently.

Two-Face’s covers!

I’d forgotten that Christian Ward also is writing this run. I always enjoy his overs!

This is just stunning. It reminds me of that Rahzzah Wonder Woman cover I got a while back. Miguel Mercado did amazing here.

Variants for X-Men! Both will be in collections of course, so a wait for those.

And these are just here for, you guessed it, Kamala Khan!

And finally, the All-New Venom variants I got. Love the logo and foil! I’m surprised the logo cover didn’t get a foil treatment.
