Yup.

Bizarro returns to Action Comics. Drama on that GL cover. I can’t wait to get to Speed Force. Beast World continues. We got the Rise of the Powers of X issue. Sabretooth War started, it’s a 10-part single title event. I’m interested in what’s going on in Avengers. Dazzler drops by Gwen. Miles got a Giant-size issue. Ultimate (Peter) Spider-Man returns as a title! And Gang War continued.

Taurin Clarke does another great cover here with Avery and Wallace.

Great covers for Beast World!

Acuña did an amazing job on Raven here.

Rise of the Powers of X covers! Can’t wait to see the connecting covers together for FotHoX and RotPoX.

A great character cover for Rasputin IV.

Love this homage cover of Logan(s). And of course Werneck being awesome drawing Wanda.

Another wonderful Bartel cover!

Love seeing all Miles’ villains’ heads on one cover. I always love design variants. It’s good to have Ultimate Peter. And I didn’t look at this Miles cover close enough and almost didn’t see that Kamala was there! Haha.

I can’t wait to get to that Batman issue. We got a Zod-focused title for the first time in the character’s history. Marvel gave us another textless animal-centered issue, this time the cats of Marvel are mostly the stars. I think this is a new Vader arc. Kid Venom got a one-shot. Stephen and the FF have a lot going on it seems. Moon Knight returns in this miniseries. And the proper beginning of the Fall of Krakoa is here!

Love this Batman cover showing the double duality. There’s Mephisto again (though this is set in the past). And look at that Galactus cover! I knew there would be one of these Masterworks covers that I’d like enough to get.

Another wonderful cover by Šejić with a little fourth-wall breaking. A fantastic Szerdy cover. And an amazing Gist cover!

Happy to have the duo of Ilyana and Kate in these variants by Artgerm and In-Hyuk Lee respectively.

The last issues I’ve read have been X-titles, and things just got quite bad for everyone at the 2023 Hellfire Gala, so I can assume that these issues of Immortal and X-Force are chaotic. Gang War continues. We got another annual Timeless issue. Darkest Hour continues for the MMPR. Dawn of DC continues with most issues. Can’t wait to get to these! Beast World continues as well.

I always enjoy seeing Spectre pop up in arcs, so I had to get another copy of this.

I know I said I wouldn’t get all the Nightmare variants, and I still am not going to, but I have been getting more than I thought I would be getting. I mean look at these!

They don’t happen often, but here’s another magazine cover variant! I don’t really know why I love these so much, but I do.

A double Raven variant week. The first by Barends and the next, of course, the wonderful Jen Bartel.

And the last one is this Alex Ross gatefold cover of his recent mural art

I’m intrigued by this Wonder Woman arc. This Jay Garrick issue made me forget to pick up another issue, haha. This Nightwing issue is part of Beast World. We got another Uncovered book for Joker and Harley, the way it was organized was nicely done. X-titles be nuts. And this Original X-Men title is setting up something for next year which is intriguing. Star Wars gets another big special issue to set things up for next year.

I love the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes variant, it was a great show! Always happy to see an homage cover. And of course, a fantastic Momoko cover.

Nakayama bringing another great cover. and I love this mystery novel cover variant!

Alex Ross being amazing as usual. And the first of these Sweater Weather themed covers. Clea looks gorgeous!

Same.

Glad these weeks were lighter than usual. We got a DC holiday special. Beast World continues, including that Action Comics issue. Space Usagi looks fun. The X-titles are getting closer to the end of Krakoa. That Thor issue looks fun. This is the last issue of this run of Moon Knight. And Gwen gets another new run.

Another Barends cover that looks great. This Mantis legacy cover is fun. And always happy to have a samurai themed cover.

Love this Momoko foil cover! Such fun! And of course such a great negative space cover.

December 6, 2023

I’m excited for all these! I’m happy that Ivy’s run is still going. The Beast World event continues. We got a Batman holiday special. The new SW THR Adventures run taking place in this final stage of the High Republic started. So much is going on with the mutants still. And we got a new run of Thunderbolts (I assume this could have little trial ideas for the upcoming movie). And we got a new Sentry run.

Another holiday card variant with lovely Dan Mora art. I even think this may be a statue or something similar. I wanted this cover simply because Dreamer is on the cover. And of course I got this 0-0-0 cover to have the pair of them as action figure covers. And as always, another fantastic Nakayama cover for Poison Ivy.

Another Disney 100 cover and another Saturday Morning variant.

I haven’t gotten many of Momoko’s nightmare covers but I loved this one, plus this other Monica Rambeau cover, I assume these were chosen because of the movie, but even if not, I’m glad to have them.

Same.

So many this time! I feel like it’s been a while since the last Static issue. As before, I’m excited to get to all of these once I catch up. This is the last Steelworks issue. The Beast World event started this week. Howard the Duck got an anniversary issue. This is the penultimate issue of this Moon Knight run. This is the last issue of this Ms. Marvel run, though there is another miniseries starting next year. The first issue of X-Men Blue Origins debuted. and the Gang War event started. So many variants!

I’ve been waiting for this Static variant for a while. It’s just s good! I still love seeing the super family on covers even though most of them haven’t worn those costumes yet, or at least all together. And I loved this artist, Carla Cohen, recently so when I saw another cover by them, I had to go for it.

Of course here’s another Frison cover and another Artgerm cover. I never use the postcards, but I do love getting them if they’re an artist I like.

This is a lovely Dauterman cover. The Barends cover here celebrates Knight’s End. And love this Rahzzah Power Girl cover!

A great wraparound cover for Gang War.

And of course all the variant covers from this final Ms. Marvel issue. The first two are homage covers and the last is just a fun Noto cover.
