The next ROTJ special focusing on the Rebellion dropped. Moon Knight has a special that introduced the comic version of Scarlet Scarab that the MCU introduced last year. This is the final issue of this run of Spider-Gwen. Blade has a new run! Conner is just having a rough time in space. We got the first of four issues of the Tales of the Titans microseries. Hawkgirl has a new miniseries! Harley has a second run of the BWR theme. And Knight Terrors continues!
Many variants and some posters below!
This cover is paying homage to The Avengers #276 from February 10, 1987. Just a fun cover.
Oh look, another gorgeous Frison cover! And I was happy to see another Mr. Garcin cover, so I had to get it.
It’s just so nice to see the new Scarlet Scarab on a cover. Layla is awesome.
Rasputin IV looking stunning in this Hellfire Gala cover. Thank you Jamie McKelvie!
There were so many great Blade 1 variants! Momoko’s is the first one, the next windowshades one is the next and another negative space is the third one.
This two weeks had so many foil covers! I love this Green Ranger foil cover.
I love all the main covers for these Tales of the Titans issues, so I had to get this one and will get the other main covers of the upcoming issues.
And of course, another Artgerm cover!! And he made a foil one too!!
Oh look, another Artgerm! And another foil cover!
So many Knight Terrors variants!! They had to throw Mattina covers along with the Midnight variants at us. Ooof.
These are the posters that I got from my store. Two of these will be gifts and one I shall keep. Such great cover art!
Guess what? Still not caught up reading! Haha. Currently about to start sorting issues to boxes and shelves for the issues from the previous bunch of 8 weeks of comics. In two weeks, I’ll have to sort 8 more weeks-worth again. So I have to read 6 weeks-worth in the next 5 days or something.
Vader starts a new arc. I liked issue 1 or Loki, so I’m in for the title. And as usual, in X-Force, I’m so ready for Beast to go down XD. Moon Knight had this run’s 25th issue, and they made it so many pages longer than a usual 25th issue. This is the memorial special for mourning Kamala Khan. And I’m excited for the Hunger and the Dusk title by G. Willow Wilson! Gargoyles had a new title subtitled Dark Ages. The cover of Sirens City intrigued me enough to buy the issue. This is the penultimate issue of Harley Screws up the DCU. And the DC event: Knight Terrors has begun!!
So many covers below.
The main cover for Immortal X-Men 13 is just gorgeous! That’s all. The Hellfire Gala variant of this issue is also just beautiful. I love the details the artist of this X-Force variant made. I have a couple other covers by the artist I think.
I always enjoy a DOFP homage cover. And I’m excited for these Saturday morning cartoon covers!!
Another wonderful Momoko cover! And the other is an homage variant that’s paying tribute to Vision and the Scarlet Witch (1985 series) #1 from October 1, 1985.
A wonderful Hellfire Gala cover by David Nakayama. MJ and Felicia look amazing! And the next Disney 100 cover!
I thought I would put the symbiote covers together. Venomized Jeff the land-shark by Momoko!! That WoC cover is just amazing. And here’s another detailed cover by Björn Barends. Just, wow.
These variants for Moon Knight 25 are just gorgeous!! First one by Artgerm of course. The next one is another Hellfire Gala cover. and the last one is the next negative space cover!
These are two of the variants for Fallen Friend. And the first one is and Alphona cover. The second one is a cover paying homage to cover of The Death of Captain Marvel special from February 3, 1982.
The first variant is by Mirka Andolfo, always so good! And I’m so excited for the second one becuase I’ve been following this artist on Instagram for a few years now and she announced she was getting to make some variants for this new Gargoyles title and I was like um what??? So, congratulations to the wonderful KDFoxx/Graffoxx!! I mean look at that cover!! Of course I will be getting all of her covers.
Jenny Frison is just such a great artist. I say it so much, but just wow. And I really liked the use of foil on this other variant.
I just have always loved Zealot’s look and color-scheme. And here is another Swimsuit variant from DC!
And here are the first Knight Terrors Midnight variants!! I’ve been waiting for these. I can’t wait to see them all together when I get them all. I have to say if the red on these was all red foil, I would love these even more!
The Yoda title has been so fun! Matt Murdock is just having a time. FF and Doctor Strange are having a lot going on in both titles. Also, this Thor arc is fantastic! And this is a new title for Captain Marvel. The Sinister Four is the next Before the Fall of X special. Captain America celebrates its 750th issue! After this is a special before the next new Capt run starts. This Marvel Zero special collects the two Marvel FCBD issues that I couldn’t get, how serendipitous. This is the first of this Gargoyles run to have Demona, exciting! The Doctor Who comic is part of a larger multi-media project called Doom’s Day. The next Dawn of DC issues look good. This is the start o the next DC event, Knight Terrors. I’m intrigued! They’re dipping into horror and nightmares. Many of the DC characters are stuck in their nightmares. Deadman is one of the leads. And as you can see, those covers!!
Covers and posters below.
Jung-Geun Yoon is a fantastic artist. I had to get this Aphra cover. And of course another wonderful Momoko cover.
Another Brilliant Mark Brooks corner box cover!
The next Alex Ross cover!
This Jen Bartel cover is just. Wow. I remember her posting the image on twitter and I couldn’t wait to get this cover. Certainly going to slab this.
Another cover that has an artist who mostly does incentive covers. Besch covers are wonderful!
The next Nakayama cover! Love the red and blue.
Just a nice photo variant for this special.
Another fantastic Artgerm cover, but from Titan Comics.
The next Peacemaker movie poster variant.
There are SO MANY variants for this Knight Terrors event. Too many! Most of these will be in separate artist collections or theme collections.
As y’all know, I enjoy Ravager’s character and design. Plus these artists are great in general.
Jamie McKelvie and Leirix are just phenomenal artists. That’s it.
Here are posters! The Hellfire Gala cover poster and a Blue Beetle movie poster!
As I said in the previous post, I’m still not caught up.
(OH, this is actually my 500th post!! Haha! That’s cool!)
The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos intrigued me, I think I’ll enjoy it. I’m still loving the Vader BWR title. I’m not quite sure when this Warlock title takes place, I thought it was present day, but not sure. Excited for Ghost Rider and Deadpool’s stories. Daredevil & Echo’s first issue was interesting, so I’m happy to keep reading. Silk is always fun. The Thor storyline is so exciting. And this is the final Carnage Reigns issue, which is funny because I just read the first issue a couple days ago, haha. These Before the Fall of X issues are intriguing. The Harley plot is crazy, I love it. The other Dawn of DC issues are great! Can’t wait to get to these!
Covers below.
The Black Cat cover is a Pride variant. Werneck is such a graceful artist. This David Mack cover for Daredevil & Echo is just fantastic. I missed out on the David Mack artbook a couple days ago. Grumble. I liked this Heralds variant since it shows them all on the cover.
As y’all know, I love the movie poster covers.
This is the last (I assume) for the Taurin Clarke connecting covers for this event.
Of course, the next Jen Bartel cover.
I decided to put these foil covers together. I actually thought that this first one was going to be a fulfill cover, not just the title, but it still looks good. And the MMPR one is just amazing as all these foil covers.
Many of Sweeney Boo’s covers are incentive covers so I keep an eye out for them. And of course there’s another Jenny Frison cover.
I like that they did two covers for this. Though none of the other Swimsuit Variants have two. I wonder why not. I just thought this was fun, plus I enjoy the art.
Yup, I’m posting late again. It’s been a busy few weeks. I’m still not caught up on reading. And I went to three movies today, as you can see the three previous posts are movie posts.
This is the variant cover of the hardback for Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. I will repeat myself, this is the most amazingly drawn and colored comic I’ve ever seen. And the DWM from January.
This cover alone should prepare you for the art inside, alas, it really only scratches the surface.
I am intrigued by old man Quentin Quire in X-Force. Grootfall is also mysterious. Hulk started a new run. Carnage Reigns continues with its penultimate issue. The Scarlet Witch annual starts off Agatha’s quest to rewrite the Darkhold in a bunch of annuals of various titles to come. Now I was surprised with this kind of event being announced, Ultimate Invasion was just unexpected. Earth-1610 was destroyed during the recent (ish) Secret Wars event. But apparently Maker has been trying to get back to it or bring it back or something for a few years now. So, I guess it’s back or at least some of the characters are back.
These are both Black Adam and Batgirls finale issues. Selena is out of prison and ready to deal with everything that has been going on in Alleytown. I’m just always happy to read a Nightwing issue. And the Dawn of DC issues continue. And finally, Wonder Woman has its 800th issue!! Very excited for that as I am to get to Flash 800 from two weeks before this.
Covers below.
This issue had some great variants. Had to get Momoko. And I am loving these negative space covers!
Peach Momoko is just so talented!
I had forgotten that some of the corner box covers would be single characters and not just the groups of character heads.
Surprisingly, This was the only variant for this that caught my eye. And this one was mainly for the color and the touch of legacy in it.
The next connecting cover.
Always happy for more from Nakayama!
As I’ve said about other covers with Conner on them, I just love his character design and that first DC comic aspect too. But this is also just a fun cover.
I’m relatively sure I have other Acuna covers, but I just really like this one. I would watch an entire DC animated show that was based in this art style.
The next of Jen Bartel’s Street Style covers. It’s just amazing isn’t it? And one of the Swimsuit variants. I think Im only going to get two or three of these. But I just liked this one.
And of course these wonderful covers!
The main cover is just nice and balanced. The second cover is by the same artist who worked on the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow maxiseries, plus the details on it are just amazing. And the foil cover is just legacy and fun. I probably will get the two latter ones slabbed.
Hello there! So, I’m still behind on reading and sorting. I have 3 piles of issues to get through before getting to this pile or the next one. Hopefully I can get through everything soon.
This Static issue is a team-up with Anansi which I am excited to read. This Batman Inc issue I’ll get to meet Joker Inc. I love that we got that DC Pride Through The Years special to get readers who may not know the history of some of the long-time LGBTQIA+ characters. Finally got a new MTG issue!
The Sons of Origins special I probably could have just picked up the variant for, but it’s nice to have these specific origin stories in one issue. Ghost Rider vs Ghost Rider should be an interesting issue (if the confrontation actually happens in this issue and not at the end like many comics have the cover scene happen). This is the last Sana Starros issue. More from Wolverine and Beasts’ conflict in Wolverine. Extreme Venomverse continues. This is the final issue of Kelly Thompson’s 50 issue run of Captain Marvel. I’m excited but sad since I really enjoy her run on the title. We have the first issue of Spider-man India, which is the first title for the character in 20 years! And of course because of his role in Across the Spider-verse movie that just came out, his #1 is out of print with a second printing on its way. T’Challa has a new run that focuses on him since he was exiled from Wakanda. I am interested to see what happens with him. The Cold War two-title event is coming to a close with its Omega issue. And Carnage Reigns got its antepenultimate issue. And finally, Marvel’s Pride special dropped. Oh and the next issue of SWI.
Covers below.
A lovely couple of Momoko covers.
I really liked this cover. I’m not sure if I have any other covers by this artist, but I certainly will keep an eye out. It’s like a painting! This will be slabbed.
I think that there are a couple of these Disney 100 covers left, but I’m not sure.
Of course the wonderful Alex Ross’s main cover art for Doctor Strange continues.
This is another Reilly windowshades cover! I love these! There was another variant that I wanted but I guest Peach Momoko changed her mind or was taken off the issue, because it wasn’t there and has disappeared from the lists. And this isn’t the only cover from these two weeks that this happened with.
This of course is the Mr. Garcin cover that I had the post of last time.
This is a wonderful Rahzzah cover! I forgot this was Rahzzah, I thought it was a BossLogic cover when I saw it in the pile.
Liefeld is doing a few homage variants, but I liked this one since I recognized it as paying tribute to Captain America (1968) 111, from March 1, 1969.
This is the next Taurin Clarke connecting cover for Carnage Reigns.
I can’t actually get to this issue of War College even if I were caught up since issue 4 never came in last month. I’m really enjoying this Yoda run. We got the next RotJ one-shot focusing on the Empire. Things are going crazy in Venom I suppose, and I know that the mutants aren’t enjoying the newly upgraded sentinels. I keep wondering when people will figure out what’s going on with Colossus. Loki has a new run,, his runs are always fun. This is the first prelude to the Fall of X. Events are still at it. Can’t wait to start this Peacemaker run! Still loving this Ivy run. Excited to start the Dawn of DC (it’s literally the next bunch of issues in my huge catch-up pile). This era now includes a new Steel run! And here is Flash 800! Wonder Woman 800 got pushed a week.
Covers and posters below. And now I’m all caught up! Well, caught up on posting. It will be a while before I’m caught up on reading. Though, there will be a movie post on Monday night (Tuesday morning really).
I saw this cover and I thought it just looked fun, I like all the colors ad it’s just nice.
I’ve seen this artists’ work on a few covers over the past few years, though I never really took notice till he did the main cover for Star Wars: Visions 1. It just looked great. So when I saw this, I thought I’d get it.
The next corner box cover.
The next connecting cover for this Iron Man run. I think this may be the penultimate of these covers. So it will be an 8 cover-long connecting sequence. And this is just a great cover of Riri.
Here is the second collage cover. Can’t wait to have them in one photo.
Of course there is a wonderful Artgerm cover of Lady Loki. Here is a windowshades cover confusingly by Nauck instead of Reilly. And the last cover I liked because of the legacy of the Loki’s.
The next TC connecting cover.
I’m so glad they decided to make variants of the main covers but make them poster variants.
I loved the use of white space in this cover. It just works really well.
Another Batman Artgerm! Yeah, it’s weird not doing this for a month, I’ve forgotten twice to put the same artists covers together on these posts. Oh well, I’ll get it next time.
This is just such a strong cover for a first issue. Steel is such a great.
The main cover is all legacy of Wally, so, of course, I love it! The next is another Nakayama cover, brilliant. and the third one is a foil cover. It looks gorgeous with the foil reflected in that last photo.
Now it’s time for posters! These ones were ones that I ordered specifically, so they were rolled up and not folded. This cover for this annual is gorgeous.
I always love when I see a Mr. Garcin cover. Certainly a favorite collage artist. The covers are always creatively designed and perfected represent the legacy of the artists who have come before who drew each of these characters.
I certainly didn’t expect a poster for The Flash movie! And here it is! Though the way they sent it folded was weird, the folds were in strange places.
Also unexpected! You may recognize these Dan Mora designs from a few months ago. These were in the promo art for this new era in DC and the top row of characters had all those variants for that first issue that came out then, and I’d been waiting for the younger characters to have covers and haven’t seen any hint at that happening yet. So getting these bookmarks was a nice substitute. I may frame them or something. They just look great together. I think I said this before, but I wouldn’t have minded if all the books just switched to the legacy characters at that point and the older characters took a backseat for while. Maybe the regulars have to leave earth for a long period of time and would have their own JL title (they could have started a new run of JL Odyssey) that they all shared while the legacies take over the main titles.
I enjoy Sana Starros’ title. So much going on in Silver Surfer. Though that’s nothing compared to all that’s going on in Deadpool! Avengers Beyond brought in the Black Order. I think it’s been a year or two since we last saw them, but I can’t remember exactly. Doctor Strange is all over the place, one of those said places is the Dark Dimension. This issue of Spider-man became a most contested issue because of what happens at the end. I’ve not read it of course, but I know how it ends. I agree that the death happening in another hero’s book is a weird move and a few months before a big marvel movie hitting the screens. It’s a whole complicated topic. Don’t worry I’ll get back to this topic in another post. This is the finale issue of this Punisher run. Events continue.
Seemingly Grundy shows up in Detective Comics. I enjoy Grundy. Power Girl got a special spinning out of…um…I literally forgot what she last appeared in recently that led to this special. But yeah, I’m excited for this. This Milestone showcase seems interesting. It’s debuting new writers and artists by giving them these classic characters and saying go! And last and definitely not least, there is the DC Pride special! The covers of which were all amazing (I will say that they blew Marvel out of the water with these variants compared to the Marvel Pride special variants.)!!
Another Star Wars anniversary cover! I always have to remember to keep an eye out for all these, especially when there are multiple SW anniversaries during a year, like this year. 40th for RotJ, 5th for Solo and 15th for Clone Wars. But yeah, this is great cover to represent a massive moment.
This and the Deadpool cover below it are the next Spider-verse covers. I liked how the Beyonder looks with his 90’s style look but plus Spider themed. And the Deadpool one is great because since it’s another Momoko over.
The next Alex Ross cover for Doctor Strange (I forgot to get another copy). And the last of the AAPI covers by InHyuk Lee. Whenever I get to sorting variants next, I’ll have this set of covers in one post.
The next Taurin Clarke cover.
I saw this cover and I loved it. The style is like a classic Disney movie and that makes sense with this character. I wonder if the artist has done other covers. I haven’t’ looked it up yet…ah, I have other covers by the artist, but none are in this style. I hope they do more in this style, like if Spinstress gets a title all her own.
This is the first of a duo of connecting covers. I liked how they seem to look together.
Here is the next Nakayama main cover for Gargoyles. Brooklyn looks great!
I think Artgerm said this was one of the first times or the first time he’s drawn Power Girl. It looks just as amazing as his Supergirl covers.
Magnificent DC Pride covers.
Y’all know I enjoy magazine styled covers. This just is amazing.
Jen Bartel did a spectacular job with this year’s Pride cover. They just keep asking her and she keeps saying yes. The foil looks great and the colors and everything else about this cover is amazing. This is her third cover for these Pride specials.
This is drawn by the most wonderful Gabriel Picolo. He’s had a couple covers rarely and has his own YA series of DC books focusing on the Teen Titans (based on the animated series iteration of Titans). This all spun out of him creating art and then he was noticed by DC ad now he works for them. I love this cover! All amazing characters! I can’t wait to read this year’s issue!
The Phandom Bender
