First off, this day was Doctor Who’s 59th Anniversary. So, Happy 59th to any Whovians!

More X-titles to read. Matt and Electra are getting read for war. I’m very excited for Defenders (of course). Yoda has his first title! This is the last ASM issue before Dark Web starts (And there’s still no word on which even comes first chronologically, Dark Web of End of the Spider-Verse). I think this is the last Avengers Forever issue before the Avengers Assemble event starts. Star Wars has a big issue covering all the titles (of this time period). This should be before the Hidden Empire issue from last week, so I may just swap my reading order when I get to them. It’s unclear. The next issue of Hitomi. Punchline’s next issue. Tim Drake has an impostor problem. The next Dark Crisis one-shot came. The penultimate issue of Young Justice Targets was this week. and the next issue in the Kal-El Returns event dropped.

Covers and variants to follow.

The next post I make should be of the next cover set.

There was an issue from 2020 that had this same design. I enjoyed it back then, so I thought I’d get another copy of this one now. Though I don’t think I got another issue of that one from 2020, so, I’ll have to order one online. It’s just a great use of the cover space.

Another fun Momoko variant.

Oh hey, it’s another cover with Rose on it.

This is a great cover by Jenny Frison.

I don’t know why I love this character design so much, but I try to get variants with her on them.

These are the last 90’s themed DC variants. I think the Robin one is my favorite, though I LOVE that they added in the Paul Dini Harley design in the corner box.

Before I start this pile I will finally be able to catch up on all the X-titles I’ve had on pause. This is the penultimate issue of this Shang-Chi miniseries (before the next one starts in January. I’m still confused as to why they keep doing this instead of just having one Shang-Chi title that is ongoing.). Thunderbolts is busy. The Wakanda run is intriguing. I guess there’s a Murderworld miniseries happening, I thought this was a one-shot (I mean it is, but the miniseries is a few one-shots). Blade got a one-shot around that Vampire arc that got started in Avengers and things were left unfinished I suppose. The next issues of Peach Momoko’s Demon Wars dropped. I’m really enjoying She-Hulk’s story and mystery. Here’s Gold Goblin! Iron Man has a new run starting off with the legacy issue #650! Bucky has a one-shot special that takes place during the current Capt arc. The Hidden Empire event in the Star Wars comics has begun. Q’ira is making her big moves. This Black Adam maxiseries is enjoyable. I like getting to know the characters. Punchline dips into Catwoman’s comic. Nightwing is creeping to its 100th issue! We’re halfway through the DCeased title. We got the next issue of the Harley Animated tie-in series. And finally, two Dark Crisis tie-in’s that end and lead into the next one-shot of the event.

Covers to follow.

I’m excited for this connecting cover set! I feel like it will look amazing put together.

Love this old photograph styled design.

Another fun Nightwing cover! The next one isn’t really the same theme, but it’s right before 100, so I thought it would just make sense to included it next month.

And here it is!! The last Jim Lee homage cover for DCeased. I will make a complete set post for these after these two posts.

Ah, I didn’t notice this image wasn’t exactly in focus, eh, that’s ok. This is an homage to the final issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the issue 12 cover.

This is an Artgerm variant that I really liked a lot.

These are the variants for the Demon Wars issue. Momoko’s variant is striking with the spider facing the reader. The Dragotta variant uses the shadows, leaves and branches very well. And i always enjoy Gurihiru variants. They’re quite fun and whimsical.

Of course, the next Bartel cover. I can’t wait to see these all together!

Dang, this one is slightly unfocused too. This is what i get when I decide to not use the light. But yeah, this is another Dauterman cover with multiple versions of a character throughout their existence.

These are the next two Revelations variant covers. Another set I can’t wait to see together!

Here are the next 90’s themed DC variants! I think my favorite is the Catwoman one.

This Special Edition of DWM was an unexpected issue. I have always wondered what DW figures there were that I hadn’t seen before. I assume there will be other issues of this that catch up to present-ish day. This guide goes from the beginning to when the time of the TV movie. The Deadpool 1 issue and the Star Wars 29 issue are variants that were a week or so late. The Deadpool is by David Nakayama as Wade making his own Hellfire Gala cover like Nakayama’s other variants. And the Star Wars one is the Revelations variant that is in s movie poster style. There are four other variants to come. This Black Panther Unconquered issue is a one-shot.

So many comics! Well, really, so many variants, as I mentioned in the post for last week’s issues. Damage Control gave us another issue the next week, which I was surprised about and I think the final issue is either next week or the week after. There are three of those X-titles that I will be able to read after I finish everything else here. One of which is Sabretooth getting a new title along with exiles that were introduced in his last book. Hobgoblins galore in ASM. Fantastic Four started a new run, so I’m excited for that. We get to have an adventure with Agamotto in Avengers as the event inches closer to happening. And likewise, this issue of Venom is the last before the Dark Web event starts in his title. Then issue two of Dark Web is right there (Since I guess I didn’t realize that the Spider-Man title itself was just the event’s main issues). There’s the final Judgement Day issue, finally. Wildcats from Wildstorm got a 30th Anniversary special. I vaguely remember the cartoon series when I was a kid, so every time I see these characters I’m like, oh yeah, these characters. Batgirls have to deal with Riddler. The DC Trinity returns in Wonder Woman. Damian has some possession problems in BvR. The last issue of the movie Flash tie-in comic is here. The next part of Clark’s return continues. There’s a little bit of crossover in I am Batman with Dark Crisis which I almost missed out on adding to me list. The next part of that event continues in issue 6/7. And this year is the 30th Anniversary of the Death of Superman via Doomsday, so they made a special!

So many variants and some posters to follow.

I actually thought this was the A cover initially. It’s just a cool design I love the colors and the use of shadow.

Of course I had to get another cover like this. It’s this Sabretooth design.

This is just a gorgeous and detailed cover. I mean look at it!

This is another one of those covers that using the comic shape itself to work with the art. I always love getting these when I see them.

Of course I had to get this Artgerm cover. Again reminding me of that Wildcats cartoon.

This cover pays homage to the main cover of Infinite Crisis. I still have to start reading that omnibus.

Other than that one last week and the ones I missed, this is the first batch of the aforementioned 90’s Month covers!

I will put these all in order and have the in a complete collection post after I get them all, so They may be out of order here. Love that they had the titles of the comics match the designs that those titles had in the 90’s. It’s a nice touch. The neon orange is also fun. And there’s another embossed foil cover.

I did these two in separate galleries because there’s a lot going on for both these covers. This is the main cover which I didn’t realize was a gate-fold (or fold-out) cover till I got it. It’s nice to have that image in a large format. I think I thought this was just a wrap-around cover.

And this was the polybag variant. I love the bag of course, I love the actual cover too, like an epitaph. And they even gave us an armband or some kind of band. Maybe it goes over that cover like over a coffin? I’m not entirely sure. But I like it whichever way. And having the full image on the back was cool.

Poster time! Deadpool’s new run’s cover, such fun.

I didn’t know this was a title that is having a come-back (but set after the original title took place).

And of course we got the FF’s new run’s cover by Alex Ross. Always happy to have an Alex Ross cover poster.

I have yet to start reading this pile yet. There’s been a lot going on, will get to it in the next day or two.

Mary Marvel has a lot going on. Poison Ivy’s story is reaching its climax. Batman’s robot problem continues. I completely forgot that I’d added Kevin Smith’s Quick Stops comic to my list, so that should be fun. I know nothing about Crossgen, so that should be interesting. When I get done with these two week’s of comics I will be able to catch up on the few X-titles that take place after Judgement Day, this issue of X-Men Red included. Frank and Matt have some Beast problems. I guess there are some Brood coming to Carol. I’m excited for this Hulk story-line to continue. Deadpool got a new run, and it’s part of the X-Men titles now instead of on its own (as you can see in the top corner). A few characters got their own team title in Tiger Division. Multiversal shenanigans continue in Savage Avengers and Avengers Forever leading up to the huge Avengers event next week. And the new Secret Invasion event started. Though this just looks like they’re trying to get readers into a similar mindset for the Secret Invasion series with this plot instead of a genuine sequel event to the original Secret Invasion (though I don’t think they need to keep doing that with all these rehashing of older events either).

Here is the next Window Shades variant. As expected for a Deadpool cover.

This is just fun since it’s alluding to the Paramount logo.

Another gorgeous Jenny Frison variant for Ivy.

Funnily enough this made me think of the Window Shades variants, haha. I always love Bartel art, as you know.

Momoko’s art in the first variant was just fun and has nice details. The Artgerm variant here of Luna Snow was as fantastic as ever.

Even though I did miss a couple, this is the first variant of November’s (apparent) 90’s month theme for variants. I didn’t know this since I don’t think they did so many last year that took my notice, so when I got to updating my list 5 weeks before this pile’s weeks were to be looked at, I noticed that almost every DC book had a 90’s variant. Which is cool, but also meant this almost doubled the number of DC books I got and will get this month. But anyway, Look at this embossed foil cover! And the inside 90’s color-scheme and themes. Glorious! 90’s covers are certainly a weakness for me, haha.

This is probably my favorite cover of the bunch just because it’s like a Star Wars movie poster. They have one cover of this Revelations theme I’m waiting on the other one that came out this week and then a few others will come in weeks to come. And the actual Revelations issue comes I think in the next week from now or soon after. Also, I love that Iden Versio is on there, I wonder if she’s in the issue.

Three Doctor Who Chronicles magazines which are from like yearsssssss ago. And a SWI magazine from last month.

I’m enjoying the Time Drake title. happy to have more Punchline. I think the Young Justice story is getting good! More of Clark’s return is here in AC. MMPR continues with 101. The X-titles continue post-Judgement Day, so I’ll pause on reading them till next time when I get JD Omega. Venom looks intriguing. Excited for more from Variants. Things are getting tricky in Strange. And There’s Judgement Day 6!

Another one of the 90’s style covers for this month. There were some others but I decided not to get all of them since it would just be a lot.

This was specifically because I loved that all these classic Superman characters were all on the cover for his return.

I haven’t read the DC Mech title but I liked this design variant.

I love the colors in this and also the characters.

Love this cover a lot. There will certainly be more variants from this title I’ll want.

I just thought this was a great way to use the cape.

Of course I’d get this A cover! It’s in a classic style in design and color scheme.

I never know when this collection is done! I keep seeing Window Shade variants pop up! They’ve been going since last year (maybe even the first one was at the end of 2020). So, whenever this actually stops, the photo will include a lot of issues.

And of course an Artgerm for last. Dazzler looks amazing!

I’m still reading the previous pile of comics since it was A LOT, plus catching up with the Judgement Day event. So, I haven’t started these yet. And possibly won’t till Sunday or Monday since we’re going out of town for the weekend.

Crypt of Shadows seems like Marvel’s Halloween special, should be fun. Sabé becomes reacquainted with Sheev. Thor and Venom are butting heads. We got another new Spidey title, I’ll see how it is, though it has Demon Bear in it, so that should be interesting. Always excited for Defenders and Avengers. There’s that X-Force issue that will let me continue the Judgement Day event. Harley and Ivy got another title spinning out of their show’s most recent season! Dark Crisis is still going and Flashpoint Beyond had its last issue!

This is the next Jim Lee inspired homage connecting cover for this title. Can’t wait to have them all lined up! Though I still need to figure out how to display connecting covers well.

I am continuing to love these recent Nightwing covers. I think I’ll do a collection post for these when it goes back to normal covers again.

This is just fun. : )

Two more of the Jeff, The Landshark variants! I’m excited to take the photo of these also, for a specific reason.

Look at this Aquaman: Andromeda variant! Had to also show it upside-down since it looks great either way.

DWM issues (almost all caught up I think!). And an Image comic that I was interested in that didn’t come last time.

So many this week! (I think the next two week’s piles will also be massive because evidently October is 90’s variant covers month, and DC did one for almost every title they have, I was like oooo cool…wait, ah nuts.)

DC gave us a Halloween special. Diana will see what’s up with Cheetah. Batmen Incorporated started. Part 2 of Clark’s return dropped. And the second issue of the Batman vs Robin mini event did too. We got the next issue of the Flash movie tie-in comic. The High Republic started it’s second Phase based 150 years before the time period all the previous stories have taken place during. Star Wars Visions got a title focusing on the characters from The Duel. Namor got a solo miniseries. Punisher got another War Journal special. Wakanda got a new run, or I guess a first run since the last run with Wakanda in the title included more than just then name. ASM brings back one of the Hobgoblins. Things are going crazy in Venom. FINALLY, the late issues of Judgement Day arrived, so I can now catch up…and yet…one issue is delayed because the previous issues was delayed. So to be fully caught up, I will have to put 3 issues aside till I get X-Force 33 in two weeks. But yeah, 10 event issues in a week is great, haha!

Covers and posters below.

A movie in the next post!

This variant and the other BvR 2 variant I got were a bit of a surprise. I hadn’t added them to my list but Greg said the names and I couldn’t remember what the cover looked like so I just said yes. Though this one is one that I was debating getting anyway. So, that was good.

This Batgirls cover was nice because of the characters posing within the shape of the bat-symbol. I love designs like this.

This is the first of another variant set. The set is of course focusing on the glorious Jeff, the Land-shark! He is a joy and we all love him.

Visions got a bunch of variants, but most of them were exclusive. But this is the A cover and one of the variants my store was able to get. I loved them all though!! Hopefully I can get the others at some point.

Kate in another stunning Momoko variant.

The Wakanda A cover is gorgeous. That is all. And it’s always surprising when I see an Artgerm cover with a man on it, I’m just so used to the normal female-focused covers. Great art of Killmonger.

This is just fantastic. I have a cover by the same artist of s Sabretooth variant from a few weeks back. Had to get this.

Love covers like this. This is an homage cover simply to VHS’s, haha, brilliant!

And these are the posters for the month. The new Spidey run cover, the Wakanda cover and that Artgerm variant of Dazzler (which is a bit of a surprise since I don’t see variants as posters often).
