SO MANY ISSUES. If there had been literally one more, I wouldn’t have been able to fit it on the bed.
Just because of that Mr. Freeze cover, I want to get to that story. I always like seeing the Flash family in an issue. This is the last issue of Gotham City Sirens. This is Zatanna’s penultimate issue. Absolute Power continues. Zero Hour got a 30th Anniversary special! Moon Knight got a new miniseries. Chasm got a new title featuring Kaine. I wonder what that Fantastic Four issue is about for it to have so many character on it. Amazing Spider-Man got to its 950th issue! Ahsoka got its second issue. We got some more From the Ashes mutant titles. Marvel had its 85th Anniversary special. We got another SWI issue. And two more DSTLRY issues dropped.
I love this main cover. Such an amazing Mr. Freeze cover. I’m probably very influenced by Sub-Zero. And I liked this other cover as it’s similar to a previous cover with him starring at the city.
This is such a great The Batman cover to celebrate Batman’s 85th Anniversary. This Flash cover is just cool. And literally what I liked about this Power Girl is that axe.
I love all these Zatanna covers!
I got the main cover because Red Canary is on there on the top left. Yup, that’s it. And I love that Clarke cover.
Ok, so I haven’t read the Zero Hour event yet, though I have the 20th anniversary collected edition for it that I need to read. These are just such great coves! And the main cover is a wraparound.
I love seeing all these characters! I think there are other tie-in’s to this event that aren’t in the collected edition but I may be wrong.
I’m pretty sure that this Cheetara cover is paying homage to the 1981 cover for Uncanny X-Men 101. Love it! Derrick Chew did a brilliant job with this Moon Knight cover! I didn’t get this Fantastic Four cover because it’s Alex Ross, I got it because of all the characters in the background. Chew also gave us a great Laura cover for NYX.
And again, all homage covers should have the issues they’re paying homage to on the back of them like this! I love them!
Just so many amazing Ahsoka cover. Taurin Clarke did a great job at that main cover. I love the others a lot too!
Another Scott Campbell cover. And another homage cover.
See? It’s a good idea. I’ve seen other covers paying homage to this cover and I’ve never seen the actual cover it’s referring to.
Again, all amazing covers for Ultimate X-Men. I still have (all but one) all the covers for all the issues thus far.
I love these 85th Anniversary covers! And not just because Kamala is on them. The colors and characters and just everything! I can’t wait to get to this issue!
Just so great! Luciano Vecchio did a great job with this cover! I love it! And yes, Kamala being in the center is so wonderful.
I’m excited to see Trigon in Titans. Absolute Power continues. Jenny Sparks got her first solo title, I don’t know anything about this Wildstorm character, so I was intrigued to see what this was. Thor got a Giant-size issue. Logan got a new miniseries that has a mature version of the issue for blood and such. Ghost Rider Final Vengeance had its final issue. Since I know what’s happening in Deadpool next, I’m excited to get this issue of Deadpool. Venom War rages on. I’m extremely excited to get to this issue of Scarlet Witch for this return of this character, Lore. I didn’t know about her till this cover was revealed by Russell Dauterman. That bottom row is almost just all phoenix fire.
I love getting Christian Ward covers because they are always vast and epic, I liked this one because all that was in that butterfly. Mark Spears did an amazing job portraying John Stewart, I thought it was an Alex Ross cover! Always happy to see a Stjepan Šejić cover, he did a great job with Zatanna. Guillem March made a wonderful swimsuit variant for Diana. I loved the shading and colors and simplicity of it all.. I got that World’s Finest cover by Dan Mora just for that Trinity design. When I saw the Dogpool variant I just had to get it. You understand. And the Ahsoka cover is a non-foil variant of the first issue via a second printing.
I got these specifically because of how Raven looks on each of them, The other Titans look great too, but I love Raven!
These same artists for these variants for this miniseries. Scott Forbes and Jeehyung Lee did a great job with these first two. And of course that last one is for my friend. I’m excited to present the gift!
I thought I only wanted the Catwoman one last issue, but I forgot I also wanted this one. Glorious.
Another Montes Foil cover!
Galloway doing a great job with this grocery store cover. Happy to see two of my favorite artists both doing variants on one issue.
Such a great foil cover from Nakayama! Love it! And look at that Artgerm cover!
Ok. LOOK AT THAT DAUTERMAN COVER. LOOK AT IT. It’s probably one of my favorite Dauterman covers he’s done, and I really love so many of his covers. And I wasn’t sure there were many Dazzler themed covers I wanted to get, but this was certainly one of them. I love the use of the disco balls as her energy gathering powers.
Just look at these. All the orange and yellow. Just amazing.
Tran Nguyen, Derrick Chew and Nicoletta Baldari all did AMAZING jobs with these covers. Marvel really said to the artists who’re doing covers for this title, hey, obliterate our eyes with beauty.
Two late main covers, a couple main covers that I wanted another copy of, and late variants.
I really liked this design with Vulture as Miles lenses. And I totally forgot that Mirka Andolfo had a variant out last week, I got the main cover and realized I’d forgotten it after I’d gotten home. Got another of the main cover for Werewolf by Night, I realized that this run has main covers all by Gist, so I’ll be getting two of them all, haha. And of course I had to get this Nakayama variant!
This is a spoiler cover I think, hence the covering and poly-bag. but I got this because Dark Spectre is on the cover. The last time I got a cover with him on it I might have said this, but just in case I didn’t, when Maligore appeared on screen in the PR: Turbo movie, I loved his character design, and then when we got to see Dark Spectre in PR in Space, I was both confused but happy to see that design again.
I’m so excited to get to Gail’s AC run! The Sirens continue. Primer continues. We got the next DW comic issue. Jonny Quest got a new run of comics. Iron Fist got a 50th Anniversary special. I think this is the penultimate issue of this Moon Knight run, but there’s a new one right afterwards. This is the penultimate issue of this Vader run. Thor faces Zeus again in this 775th issue. Werewolf By Night got a new run, and it’s a Red Band run! The Venom War rages on. This is the final issue of this run of She-Hulk. Spider Society got a run focusing on it. X-Men continues and X-Factor got a new run in this new era.
Even though we don’t have any action figures of characters from recent Doctor Who episodes, we have comics! Ah I forgot to take a photo of the back of that homage variant, it’s one of the ones that has the cover of the issue it’s paying homage to on the back. I love this Lady Sif cover! Look at it! And here’s another homage cover paying tribute to that classic Punisher cover.
This first variant is referencing the first appearance of Sabretoth issue. And the other one is celebrating David Aja.
We have a fun Galloway cover and a Gist cover. I decided that I would get the Gist cover slabbed straight from the bag so I won’t open it ever. The CGCS people will do that I assume.
As always, I’m happy to see more Artgerm covers! And alright, it’s time to admit that these windowshade covers aren’t a short-term cover theme, so I will be posting them from now on. But for all the ones before this I will make a big post with all the ones before now in a Complete Collections post even though it won’t be complete.
Here’s another windowshades cover. And here’s the next logo variant for this new X-Men era.
At first I thought this was paying homage to a Daredevil cover from a couples years ago but nope, haha.
This week was huge! I had to get the step-ladder! Also, a couple of these covers (the grey poly-bagged ones) are NSFW, so, you’ve been warned.
The cover of Shazam asks what is that and I don’t know, haha. I think this is the last Blue Beetle issue but I thought it was 12 issues, so we’ll see? Absolute Power rages on. We got a new Gotham City Sirens run! Also, a new Sweet Paprika one-shot to follow from last year’s. Matt seems to have some Kingpin troubles. Storm has joined the Avengers! The Venom War event has begun! And Uncanny X-Men got a new run in this new era.
I loved the chibi BoP. And Nakayama made another great cover!
Szerdy drew such a fantastic cover here! And this is the next connecting cover for the event.
The details in his drawings is amazing. I usually get his tattoo variants more than his other covers but I liked this one.
So many covers!
The other two are part of collections of course. But I really liked the action figure variant here. It’s probably the only one I’ll get of the others. The Harley one is one of the Swimsuit covers, one of the three I want. I may already have one or both of the others. And the Catwoman one looks great and the artist is doing more covers for the other issues, but I liked this one the best.
NSFW COVERS BELOW.
I don’t get NSFW covers often at all, but I knew that an artist I follow was doing two covers for this comic and while looking at the covers I saw this first one and liked it a lot. The shading and coloring is just really nice. It also reminded me of another artist but I can’t remember which one.
The artist for the first one is Rare Tempter. I liked that the back was a SFW version of the front. And the other two covers are a NFSW and a SFW cover by La Belle Cicatrice. I’ve followed her for a while, I have some art books of hers and she even did a portrait of me through one of the kickstarters of the art books. So, when I saw that she was making cover art for something, I added them to my list.
Another Aka cover portraying Dagger. I almost missed this Andolfo cover! Glad there was one at my store. I’m always happy to see a Mr. Garcin cover. I love these collage covers, and there were two this week! And I always keep an eye out for a DoFP homage cover!
There were a lot of variants for this issue of course, these I liked best. And yes I did arrange those connecting covers that way in order to save the connecting look for a Complete Collections post, haha.
JTC is such a fantastic artist. Every time it’s just gold.
Another issue was so many variants!
There’s the other Mr. Garcin cover! Just gorgeous. JTC with an amazing color-bleed cover of Jubilation Lee! I think this will go into the character covers collection for Jubilee, but I’m not sure if I want it in JTC’s collection or color-bleed one. We’ll see! And I just really liked the line-work on Rogue in this. There are other characters drawn in this style for the other issues, but I just want this one.
Just DWM, including the 600th issue, and all but one of the comics are variants.
Love that the Teen Titans from the animated series (or versions of them) are in this comic. And of course another InHyuk Lee cover. And there’s Apocalypse.
These were both the variants from that issue last time. The first one is a connecting cover that spans all these annuals, but I just wanted this one.
This is a small print that came with the 600th issue. There is a diorama too, but I don’t have anywhere to put it, so I didn’t want to take the pieces out and build it.
I think we’re halfway through Absolute Power (maybe by the time it’s cover I’ll be at this point in reading, haha). Bite-wing got a special! Darkest Hour ended. Donald Duck is getting some What If comics. Confusing times for Gwen and also for Peter. This is the last issue of this Captain Marvel run for now. Black Widow got a new title while she’s in the symbiote suit. Blood Hunt continues. Ms. Marvel got one of the Infinity Watch annuals. X-Force got a new run in this new X-Men era.
This is seemingly the end of the Darkest Hour event! So many great variants! I enjoyed the opposite visual from the main cover in that first variant. The villains in the Barends cover look amazing! And more Montes covers!
I really enjoy these foil covers irl the helmets.
That Spidey one I thought I’d ordered as two copies but I must have forgotten, I just like when the titles are messed up. Another cover of Apocalypse. Clea looks amazing in this Momoko cover! And Kamala is looking great!
Such great covers!
The Ross one is the main cover and I thought it looked like that one cover he did with Hulk and Banner on it. And of course I had to get at least one D&W variant!
X-Force’s new run’s covers! Such fun (main cover and) variants!
I don’t get many Young variants, but I thought this one was fun. And of course I had to get this foil Nakayama cover! And I got a whole packet of the Deadpool kazoos! Also there’s that TMNT Rafael’s mask pin.
Absolute Power rages on. I can’t wait to get to this Zatanna run! Darkest Hour is almost over for the Rangers. This run of Star Wars books is almost over. Blood Hunt is soon to be over too. NYX returns for a new run!
Something about this Detective Comics cover hooked me. Most of the time Dan Hipp covers are incentives, so it was nice to see an open order one. Power Girl looking great in InHyuk Lee’s style. some of these recent Green Arrow variants have been so good! That main cover for Silver Surfer is there because of Mephisto. And gotta love that Nakayama cover! It’s so cool that I finally have met him, haha, it’s still a strange feeling.
This first cover is a connecting cover with the main cover. I just need to wait to get another copy of it. And they connect very well. Better than most. And of course the other one is the next Barends.
Almost every variant for this Zatanna run is amazing. When I saw the variants for issue 1 and 2, I was like ah, I guess I will be getting almost all of them. Jenny Frison’s is of course amazing. And I’m not sure if I have many of Ariel Diaz’s covers, but I really liked this one.
NYX’s new run with many variants! Since I saw Kamala on the cover, I’d hoped for more variants with her on them, but one is fine haha.
The first two here are the main cover and the other one is the variant with Kamala on it. The last one is of course the Artgerm cover of Laura.
