Waller and Oliver shaking hands, interesting. I hope that Kara and Paige will finally bond permanently, haha. We got another What If Venom issue. We got a Giant-size issue for the FF. This is the Miles issue before issue 300, which is crazy that it’s already that far along! A new Jigsaw pops up in Punisher perhaps. this is the penultimate issue of Gang War. We got this year’s Women of Marvel issue. And a Kamala-centered Avengers Twilight issue!

Here’s another window-shades cover! And I love this rain of arrows cover. And a Taurin Clarke cover for this Thrawn issue is brilliant.

The main cover I got another issue for because Kamala is on the cover. And of course a variant with America on it is a must.

Here are all the gorgeous Kamala covers. Just look at them! And I actually didn’t expect to get that last cover since it’s a 1:25 incentive cover, but it was at the store, so, woot! And I mean, Alex Ross, Taurin Clarke, Daniel Acuña and Phil Noto! Love this costume too!

Same though.

So many of these arcs and events are not even started where I am currently reading, haha. So, I can’t actually comment much on them. Fall of X is still crashing through. These are some of the last issue of Gang War. So many Marvel 97 variants for a future collection post! Though I’m really excited to get to Blasfamous by DSTLRY!

These are two of the sweater weather themed covers. The first one will be in my book cover collection and then Titans one is just Dan Mora’s great art.

Rahzzah is coming in with some Green Lantern covers starting here. This is a connecting cover for Rise, but I just felt like including it here. And the last one is one of the new designs for the cosmic entities of the Marvel Universe.

Here are the Blasfamous covers! The first two are Andolfo covers. And the third one is an Artgerm cover.

I love that these all are wraparound covers. Love them!

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone who partakes.

Goodbye there Bizarro! We got a miniseries for a couple of the villains son’s. I’m wondering what’s up with the big skull with Polaris. The Sabretooth War rages on. A hulk smashes by Gwen. Is Bucky a giant?! Night Thrasher has a new run. And Wanda and Pietro have a team-up miniseries. Gang War continues to almost end.

Avery being all over this cover hooked me to get this A cover. This is a great Sabretooth design. I liked it a lot when I first saw it decades ago. Like I said before, that skull. I love the art! Batwing looks great on this cover! And I mean, everyone looks amazing on this hot spring cover!

Posters! These are all fun covers to have as posters.

February 7, 2024

This new Batman arc seems intriguing. Space Dinosaurs in Shazam! We got a Valentine’s special with Guy Gardner as the main character, that should be fun, haha. The amazing Amy Jo Johnson co-wrote this MMPR miniseries “The Return”. Chris Claremont started writing a new miniseries set during one of his runs. I wonder why Stephen is on the Captain America cover. Venom is ramping up to something. Carol stops by for a visit with Jen. Gang War is soon to end. Ultimate Black Panther’s first issue dropped (the issue itself sold out everywhere really fast evidently). And Mace Windu also got a run!

There are many variants here, yes, but most of them are part of collections. The main one starting this week was the Marvel 97 or X-Men 97 variants. So, one day there will be a post in my Collections section. This issue is just here because Kamala is on it, haha.

January 2024 Late Issues 3

All but two are late issues I’d actually had on my list.

Another logo cover, nicely timed with this being this run’s final issue (which might also mean that these runs of SW comics are ending soon and we’ll start new runs post-ROTJ!).

I hadn’t added these to my list, but sometimes when you see variants in person, they just hit differently and I felt the need to get these from last month.

January 31, 2024

Oh, and Happy New Year! I hope that anyone who reads this had a wonderful start to 2024 even if this is being read years in the future, haha.

Of course with Black History Month both DC and Marvel have their specials. Which, wow, I didn’t realize I’d bookended them in this photo! It’s been a while since the last Avengers Inc. I’m excited for this Carnage issue since it seems to be Cletus and the Carnage symbiote clashing. This run of Doctor Aphra is over at 40 issues. Which could suggest that we may be close to ending this SW era between Episode 5 and 6. Dead X-Men, I’m not sure the plot, but I have a guess now that I’ve read 2023’s Hellfire Gala special. Always happy to have more Sabretooth, and this is a war! Another PR Unlimited special. And this is the end of the Beast World event. We got a Trinity special focusing on the offspring of the OG Trinity. I’m excited to learn about Diana’s!

I really liked this Lilo & Stitch cover, it’s just so good! Werneck did a great Hellfire cover. I had to get this Infinity Gauntlet homage cover focusing on Wolverine. This Ward cover of Batman is just nicely done. Nakayama doing his normal amazing thing with this Damian cover. Jorge Jimenez did this fantastic cover for this Trinity issue.

As usual, love these foil covers.

Love this wraparound cover for this special. Also, this was a thick book, I’m surprised it wasn’t more than $9.99.

Whoops! I forgot the posters! 8 hours later haha.

January 24, 2024

Yup, though I finally finished reading the 8 week’s worth I’ve been extremely slow getting through for these past months. So I’m in the middle of sorting comics finally! Though I’m still no where near being caught up to present day, haha.

These couple weeks were smaller than most, so that was nice. DC is quite busy in all these titles. Justice Ducks I got just because I wanted to see where the characters start out as in this story. The Thrawn Alliances novel got a comic run. Magneto returning is intriguing to me, I keep wondering how! And in my recently finished reading, I’ve been seeing some of these GODS characters popping up, so that’s been fun.

I liked the Onomatopoeia on the cover, though I didn’t think about Onomatopoeia (the character) being the person on the cover too, haha. It’s just a fun cover.

In-Hyuk Lee is just so good. I mean look at this!

Taurin Clarke and Barends are just glorious. I’ve been loving these covers.

I think it’s been a while since I’ve got a Massafera cover, this one is so good! And of course, I had to get a cover with The Living Tribunal on it.

January 17, 2024

Such a small week! Monet dropped by T’challa. I’m intrigued by Avengers Twilight! Cable got a new run for Krakoa’s end. Riri is back for a bit. The final issue of Bounty Hunters dropped. Gang war continues with MJ getting another run but under her new moniker Jackpot. DC is just busy everywhere. Those Titans and Nightwing issues are part of the Beast World event.

Such an unexpected meme to use for a Nightwing cover, haha. Riri on the cover of course. Another Leirix fantastic cover. Nakayama’s next cover is fun. And the next Bartel streetwear cover!
