Very late posting these posts. I just took the photos for the next batch of comics yesterday!
One connecting cover, two main covers and two variants.
I love the details on this Detective Comics cover! Mikel Janín is fantastic! And I had to get the other Darkseid Dan Mora variant for DC KO 5. Of course the next Talaski cover for Batgirl looks great.
Connecting variants first, as always. though, only one set is non-connecting covers.
Russell Dauterman just is amazing. These covers look fantastic! And yet, the connections are both misaligned and overlapping. It’s frustrating since it’s such a great design.
This looks just glorious, just don’t look too closely between the covers. I’d buy a poster of this.
Kaare Andrews did a great job on this design! This also is an overlap problem, but even when next to each other normally, it’s passable.
This design just looks so good.
Stefano Caselli deserved SO MUCH BETTER than what Marvel did to this design. But these covers are fantastic.
This was an overlap issue. And it just looks far too noticeable to have next to each other normally. But this design is great to look at. I can’t remember if I got the poster of this from the store, I think they just hung it up at the store.
And these are all the covers by Stjepan Šejiić for Sonja Reborn.
I (unsurprisingly) love his art!!
Added just one new box, a Darkseid covers box. So, we’re at 113 boxes.
Reign of the Superboys started. Aquaman is the Emperor. We got a new run for Usagi with Kaito. We got a food-related special that was supposed to be released in November. We got an X-Men special. Death Spiral continued. We also got a new title with Imperial Guardians. And Jessica Jones got a new Alias miniseries.
This main cover is by Will Conrad and Matt Herms. I like it for the legacy of the character on it.
The next Supergirl covers! The main cover and variants.
The main cover is of course by Dan Mora. Everyone looks amazing on it. ACO is doing a set of vertical connecting variants. Though, I already see a big printing issue with it. Dékal made Kara look amazing in the next variant. The next one is the next Leirix WHM variant. We got the logo variant. And then the Jiménez corner box foil cover looks fantastic!
The next Leirix variant. And Mirka Andolfo did this next gorgeous variant!
The next Sirens covers. The main and variants. I liked this Derrick Chew variant of Ivy. And the last variant is the next Lotay connecting variant.
This cover by Eduardo Mello I actually got accidentally, but it’s still a fun cover!
Love this Momoko variant! And this variant by Giuseppe Camuncoli is fun, I got it because Kamala is on there. Funnily enough, this variant was shown as the main cover for a while and then it got moved to the B cover.
It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a Kendrick Lim cover. This looks great!
The main cover and variants for this issue that I got. The connecting covers are by Stefano Caselli. Now, I don’t know why they didn’t make this a wraparound cover. It would have been better than making the connecting part also a variant of the main cover. It’s just weird. Also, well, you’ll see in the next post. But the design looks great! Emma Frost looks amazing in both the Forbes variant and the Momoko variant respectively.
I mean look at these!!
Taurin Clarke made Ororo look amazing on this homage variant. And the Fan Yang variant looks great too!
I love seeing the cover that’s being paid homage to on the back of the variant. I’ve said that before, but it’s just great. And yeah. The Fan Yang variant looks so elegant.
I don’t often see Talavera doing characters with no human-like faces. This just looks so good!
David Mack. On the main cover for this Alias run. Amazing! I love all the main covers that I’ve seen so far! The first variant here is by JeeHyung Lee, it looks so good! And the last variant is a fantastic Vecchio variant!
Posters! This Jamal Campbell cover for the main cover poster is fantastic!
And here’s the David Mack cover poster!
Ivy is the Mayor of Gotham! This is the final issue of DC KO (though there’s more to come from this plot soon). We got a reprint of the Spider-Man team-up with Invincible from years ago. Starlord and Nova are butting heads. Death Spiral continued! This run of Avengers ended. Dani Moonstar got her first title run! Iceman got a new one-shot. And Maul got a new miniseries that is a prequel to the upcoming Maul animated series.
Leirix did a set of covers for women’s history month. This is one of them.
These are the main and variants for this Poison Ivy issue.
Jessica Fong does such a good job on these main covers for this arc. Pamela looks great at the mayor’s desk. Leirix’s Ivy on the first variant. I guess they just made a vine of Ivy for Pamela’s logo? And Jorge Jiménez did a set of foil covers themed on the characters from the corner box. This Ivy one looks great!
Mirka Andolfo did this variant of Absolute Superman.
Logo and foil corner box variants for Cass’s Batgirl.
Lucas Meyer did such a great job with this variant! Terry’s costume looks amazing.
So much Darkseid on these variants!! I think there were only a couple other variants.
The first one is a foil cover of the main cover but without the acetate cover. This is by Javier Fernández and Alejandro Sánchez. I don’t have much interest in the wrestling variants, but Darkseid is right there. Dan Mora is fantastic. Mike Del Mundo did such fantastic art on this variant of Darkseid sitting inside earth like a throne. It looks like a classic design. Ian Bertram did the next cover with Darkseid looking like a mural. Darkseid baring his teeth at us is done really well by Ben Oliver. Steve Skroce made the Omega Beams look great! I think there are a couple more variants of this that I need to find.
The next Frison cover. A blank variant for the Spidey/Invincible team-up reprint. Gurihiru did a monster variant of Illyana.
Talavera made MJ look amazing! We’ll see how this next variant set goes, but Iban Coello did a great job on this first variant.
The last Dauterman collage variant in this set.
Swaby drew Danielle Moonstar so well on this variant! And I love these Marvel Comics Presents variants! Benjamin Su did great!
Luciano Vecchio did the writing, art and color for this issue and run. Amazing cover!
This first variant is a photo variant, I assume it’s from the show or at least from Rebels. Aka is doing a headshot variant set, this is the first one. The colors look great! Elena Casagrande did a great job on this Women’s History Month variant. The last one is by Panosian.
Matt and Frank look great on this Momoko variant. And these last two variants are the second printings of each of these issues of Rogue and Psylocke Ninja respectively.
Both Exquisite Corpses issues are here because the website took the title off my list for some unknown reason. The Forbes variant for Catwoman is next. Another copy of The End 2099 3 and Wiccan 2. And an Ario Anindito variant for Punisher 1 themed on Hell’s Kitchen.
Alan Quah did such an amazing job with this design! And as usual, I’m sad that they don’t connect properly. These were all overlapped. But the designs are just so detailed! I love them!
The overlap wasn’t huge, but still frustrating. But they look good like this, mostly.
Taurin Clarke with the Black History Month set. Now, this, I don’t understand. Why on earth are the shades of colors different between issues? How is that not a QC problem? The images were drawn as one image, why would you allow this kind of color difference for mass production? I assume time is the reason and QC didn’t have much or any time.
I think there wasn’t much overlap, but the color difference was far too distracting. But they all look amazing next to each other!
I do enjoy when Doctor Who does photo variants for its comics. It’s a nice way to get some promo photos!
These covers were so wonderful to see! Even though apparently most of these battles don’t happen in the story, but they look so good on these covers! I watched the 80’s/90’s’s TMNT cartoon and then the 2003 one mainly. I’ve watched a bit of some of the other ones and the movies too. I haven’t read any of the classic comics though.
The first issue of this also had a similar team vs team design, but it was the villains of the story on the right, and I just wanted to see the turtle teams. The first cover here is by Dan Schoening and Louie Joyce showing the first live-action turtles vs the most recent Mutant Mayhem turtles. The next variant is by Andy Suriano and Jim Lawson showing turtles from the first comic run vs the Rise of the TMNT’s animated series. The next one is by Dan Schoening, Luis Antonio Delgado, Ken Mitchroney and Heather Breckel showing the 1987 cartoon turtles vs the Saturday morning adventures comic turtles. The final cover is by Ciro Nieli and Luis Antonio Delgado showing the 2003 animated series turtles vs the present day comic turtles.
Love these Inhyuk Lee variants! I thought there were more of these covers but nope, just three.
I kind of wish that the yellow design in the background connected somehow. But they look great!
After this sorting, I added 3 boxes. So we’re at 112!
We got a one-shot New DC History special focusing on the Dakota Incident. Hal popped the question? Harley had romantic troubles. DC KO is almost over. Ursula from The Little Mermaid, got a title. The next bunch of mutant titles dropped. Punisher started a new run. The Death Spiral event in Spidey and Venom books got started. And Star Wars Insider celebrated the 10th anniversary of Rogue One. Also, it’s INSANE that the plot of Inglorious X-Force centers around Kamala Khan and she’s on one single variant cover of this run so far. It’s insulting to Ms. Marvel, frankly.
Diego Olortegul did the main cover for this issue, of course I liked it because it was similar to the other NHotDCU covers from a few months ago. And the variant is an homage cover by Yasmine Putri giving tribute to the classic cover of 52 #1 (2006).
Taurin Clarke did John Stewart good!
The next Nakayama variant and Inhyuk Lee variant.
John Giang did an amazing job with this variant!
Doomsday is back on this main cover. And the other is a connecting cover by Guillem March.
Mirka Andolfo did the main cover for this, and it looks great! And so does this variant by Shatoki Shiki.
InHyuk Lee doing another great job on this variant. And the main cover of this Hulk issue is by Nic Klein.
The next Psylocke covers! The main cover by Derrick Chew. The next stunning variant is by Joshua Swaby. InHyuk Lee putting out another variant with that next one. And Rickie Yagawa giving us a nice one at the end.
The next covers for Sorcerer Supreme. The main by Leirix of course. The first variant is by Dauterman. And the last one is the next Red Block variant.
Love this Momoko variant for Wiccan.
This variant is by ACO. And this X-Force variant is by Ian Churchill.
This is a Rogue One decade anniversary variant for Star Wars Insider
We met Absolute Poison Ivy! This team of Titans changes next issue. We got the last Doctor Who comic of this run. Daredevil and Jeff hung out. X-Men 25 is the epilogue of the Age of Revelation. Morbius dropped by Jubilee. Laura and Gabby got a new title together. Ultimate Spider-Man ended this run. We got a new title with Deadly Hands of K’un-Lun. And Black Panther got a 60th anniversary special.
A fun Nightwing variant by Dave Johnson! A cute Gurihiru main cover! Phil Noto gave us this Knull variant.
X-Men 25 variants. The next Red Block variant. A great Vecchio variant of Magik. And a fantastic Phoenix variant by Dotemu and Tribute Games.
Delio Diaz did an amazing job with this cover! I thought this was Taurin Clarke art at first.
Skottie Young did this split variant. And JeeHyung Lee did this gorgeous variant of Laura.
I don’t think I have any Joe Jusko covers, but either way, this is a great cover! I actually thought that this was somehow a vertical gatefold cover? The way the preview image was uploaded was very long-looking. And here’s Jonny(!) on this Red Block from Nakayama.
This Bermejo cover is intense and amazing! I’m not sure if any cover has had this moment from Peter’s life, but it’s so well drawn and colored! And the next Red Block.
The next Sai covers. Momoko is the main of course. And I totally forgot that this second cover was a Gurihiru one. And I don’t think I’ve seen a Natacha Bustos in a while.
Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding doing a great job with Red Hulk!
The final covers I chose for Ultimate Spider-Man. The main cover is by Marco Checchetto and colored by Matt Wilson. The Ultimate Finale variant is by Marcos Martín. And Elizabeth Torque did this photos variant colored by Jim Campbell II.
I thought this was a legacy cover. But it wasn’t. It’s a nice cover by Adam Kubert.
Matheus Manhanini did this fantastic main cover.
Just two more copies of this cover for specific collections.
It’s one of those odd connecting variants which get release backwards. But these are great! Of course they’re by Peach Momoko. And of course they don’t connect properly. They both misalign and overlap. This could have been a great wraparound for the final issue!
These are the Bat-Gadgets variants from Jorge Jiménes!
I kind of would have loved if all these connected but in a weird way so they looked like a pile of things all next to each other. But these all look so good!
Still no new boxes, so still at 109.
