I don’t know a lot about Milestone beyond what I knew from the Static Shock animated series and various characters that I now know were of this brand, so the Milestones in History title seemed like a good way to help with that beyond eventually getting to the Milestone Omnibus I got a few months ago. Duo’s first issue caught my interest, so we’ll see where that goes. Black Adam got a maxiseries, though I’m not sure whether it’s in the main DC continuity or just it’s own thing. It’s not a Black Label series, so I feel like it could be canon? Again, I’ll see. Dark Crisis continues with a couple tie-ins from Young Justice and Flash. The CW Berlantiverse/Arrowverse crossover event has it’s final issue here. I have enjoyed this event, it helped with all the cancelled shows this season. And I am wondering what connections there will be to this in Flash season 9 when we get it. Crimson Reign continues. There is a lot going on in all the X-titles. Punisher gets a one issue homage to the original War Journal I think. Miles is learning more about this other world and things just aren’t good. Though this Moon Girl and Miles special is the first in various team-up titles coming at us this summer, so at least there are some fun things going on for Miles (whenever this takes place in relation to his current story). Though Kamala is getting a few team-ups, that has me ecstatic! And we got the Marvel Vices Pride special too, can’t wait to get to that!

Following are many amazing variants.

As I said in the last post, I do enjoy the portrayal of legacy on covers, hence getting this one.

I really have started to like Razzah covers recently.

Another wonderful Peach Momoko cover here.

Here are more AAPI covers. When I get them all, I’ll probably post them all in one photo (I’m not sure, but this might be the last three of them, I’ll have to check).

This Hellfire Gala Dauterman cover is just, I mean, look at Wanda!!

I had to get this Jen Bartel cover too. I mean I tend to get her covers anyway, but still! It’s gorgeous!

I saved this for last because just really like this cover. It’s an homage cover, it’s coloring is beautiful, the scene itself is lovely. I had to get another copy for the cover.

June 15, 2022

This post is a bit late just because the couple days after I got comics were just busy, so I couldn’t get to taking photos till yesterday and then I was busy with other things yesterday and last night so I didn’t have time to post these till today.

Since I’m so utterly behind in all the Power Ranger titles I have no idea who died. Issue 11 is the penultimate issue of The Marvels. This Captain America title I’m not quite sure about since I’m not sure if it’s a 616 story or a standalone title, but we’ll see. Looking forward to all the drama happening in Wolverine. I’m excited for the Hulkling and Wiccan special! And even though I haven’t yet read the Fraction run of Iron Fist, I’m looking forward to these two Immortal Weapons paying a visit to the new Iron Fist. Intrigued by the Miles and Gwen multiverse stories continuing. Tony and Patsy having something big happening soon. Of course the Reckoning War still rages. General stuff happening in DC issues. It was nice that they gave Tim Drake a Pride special, I’m excited for that.

Favorite variants after.

I always like covers that depict the legacy and history of characters, so this Iron Fist cover showing the past Iron Fists behind the new one was a no-brainer. These window shade variants that have been popping up recently have been nice, I’m not sure why I like them so much, but I do, haha. And of course another Dauterman cover this time one of the first among his second Hellfire Gala covers. Laura looks great!

June 2022 late issues

Another DWM from last year. The A Cover for the new Punisher run since my store only had variants when it came out. Another copy of that variant for Thor 26 as a gift for a friend. Copies of the Thor and Hulk crossover so I can put them in their respective boxes. And the other two images are just other issues that I forgot to include in the first photo. I guess I was rushing a bit.

This is a variant from a couple months ago. It finally came in and it’s fantastic! I love when artists make that kind of glow effect just with colors. These Gwen covers have been great.

This is just a late issue of Ghost Rider from a few weeks ago.

June 8, 2022

DW Origins 1 dropped, so I’m excited to see what stories they made for The Fugitive. So much is going in in Venom. Tombstone has it out for Spidey. I got this SW 24 variant because I loved the design of this moment from Ep IX. The new run of Savage Avengers continued, as did the X-Men 92′ series. Thor and Jane got their own miniseries. The next issue of the Earth-Prime event dropped. And then DC just dropped alllll this. Nubia’s limited series, Poison Ivy’s new (first also I think) run (written by the ever-awesome G. Willow Wilson, co-creator of Kamala Khan), Teen Justice’s debut, the next issue of Flashpoint Beyond, Dark Crisis’s first issue, the Aquaman Black Label miniseries starting and DC’s Pride special all dropped on one day!! I’m excited to get to this particular week’s issues.

Favorite variants and covers and posters below.

Oh and the next post is a surprise!

As I said, I love the way the artist depicted this scene from Episode IX. And there’s that next Peach Momoko cover of Jane. Jenny Frison’s art is always amazing, plus I enjoy Cloak & Dagger, so, there we go. The Pride cover for Thor 26 of Rūna looks beautiful! And I really love this Poison Ivy 1 variant (I have another variant coming in the mail at some point).

This is the Dark Crisis wraparound cover. When I saw this in the promotions for this event, I knew I wanted to get a copy just for the cover also. I am quite excited for this Crisis event.

This is the Jim Lee homage variant of Dark Crisis 1. His art is legendary and it’s great seeing all these images from days passed.

This is the wraparound variant for DC’s Pride special. Now, the first two images are the actual issue and the third one is of the art via a promotional image in another DC comic because the almost TPB spine of this special prevented me from properly folding it out. Which is of course great for the book itself, haha.

Here are the Marvel posters! The Daredevil one is my favorite one of these three.

So, with the Marvel posters I know what I’ll get through the Marvel Previews each month, but for DC I never know. So, it’s always a surprise. This was certainly a surprise! XD I probably wouldn’t have gotten the other copy of this issue if I’d known there was a full poster coming. The art is by Daniel Sampere. This is so awesome!

June 1, 2022

Basically, I hadn’t finished the previous pile of comics, so I couldn’t take the photos or start this pile I got on the 9th.

We got AC and Batman annuals. There was the Omega issue of Shadow War and the JL Road to Dar Crisis special. Sweet Paprika 10 and all its variants (at least all the variants that I could get from my store). The order was wrong because I didn’t realize the black and white cover was the A Cover. Knights of X was continuing and Black Panther had a lot going on (plus that awesome Ms. Marvel variant!!). Captain Marvel’s Binary entity seemed to be starting it’s (her?) journey. Clea had many things to deal with. I’m excited for Carnage, since this story is still mysterious. Miles was about to start an adventure on a scary new earth. The Avengers Forever event continued and Vader and Sabé partnered up!!

Favorite variants below.

The more Peach Momoko art the world has, the better! Love her art so much! There will be another in the next post (FYI, there will be 14 images in the next post! XD).

Of course, as my favorite Marvel character, Anytime I see a cover with Kamala on it, I try to get one. So, this AAPI cover was a no-brainer.

May 25, 2022

I’m way late posting this week because it was Star Wars Celebration and I watched the livestream for the four days. Didn’t have time to take photos till yesterday (May 31).

The DC versus Vampires Hunters one-shot I got just for the cover. Wally wasn’t having a great time with things. We got the final issue of Teen Titans Academy. Things seem to be moving in Action Comics. We got the next two parts of Shadow War. I’m very happy that Unnatural got a new run! I’m interested in what’s happening with Liliana in her MTG title. Image Comics is making an anthology series for their anniversary and I got this issue for the cover but I may flip through it and maybe get the collected edition of this anthology if there are enough captivating stories. The Punisher story is intriguing. We got a new X-title called Legion of X. I’m wondering what is going on between Peter and MJ. Avengers has been going through a lot and I’m excited for it all! And we got the Devil’s Reign conclusion.

Favorite A covers and variant covers in latter images. Four A covers and four variants this time.

This is the variant for the final issue of Teen Titans Academy. I usually like getting variants of first and final issues of runs if I like if of the covers. Always love BB and Raven ^__^

This Moon Knight variant is another one of the AAPI variants like I got last time.

I always try to get a cover (A of variant) if it has Rose on it. love this variant.

Love an InHyuk Lee cover of course. It’s a plus that it’s a Daredevil-related A cover.

Another A cover that I loved the art from. I mean look at that!

I enjoy both of Jane’s superhero personas. This was just a great A cover of them both.

This I got just because Mirka Andolfo’s Paprika character was on the A cover.

And this Unnatural variant by Peach Momoko I bought online since it was an incentives cover and my store tends not to qualify for those.

May 18, 2022

I’m way late posting this week because it was Star Wars Celebration and I watched the livestream for the four days. Didn’t have time to take photos till yesterday (May 31).

This will be what I start reading today (June 1), hence I the past tense. Duo was suggested by my store, so I decided to see what it was. Though I do seem to remember these characters from something relatively recently, but I can’t place it. It’s a couple who have to share one body and become a hero. I’m excited for Nightwing since things have been getting interesting there. Shadow War continued. We got the next part in the Earth-Prime event. The next Marvel Voices issue came out. I’m intrigue by Juggernaut in the X-Force issue. X-Men Red and Immortal X-Men seem to be very tense. I’m happy to have the next issue of Iron Fist to learn more about what his journey will be as Iron Fist. Savage Avengers got a new run which I am excited for, though Marvel will soon lose rights to Conan, so he will have to be written out of the series soon. I think this is the last Eternals issue before Judgement Day, but I’m not sure. I’m excited for this Thor and Hulk crossover to continue. And we got the next issue in the Reckoning War event.

Favorites of the variant covers in latter images.

For the Immortal X-Men variant, I like the black and white contrast here and the art style it just amazing. for the Nightwing variant, it’s a Jen Bartel cover, I love the colors and the scene itself with the Bat-Family. And the Shadow War Zone cover is just an amazing tribute to the classic The Uncanny X-Men #141: Days of Future Past cover from 1981.

And of course, there’s another post-card variant I had to get. Loving these covers! Though I seem to have forgotten where I put the box I placed the others I got in for safe keeping till I could bag and board them. So, that’s causing my stress.
