Posting these a day later than I usually would have because I just forgot to do this after taking the photos yesterday, haha.

Batgirl has been hosting a villain (an iteration of one) that was created in Batman Beyond, it’s a bit weird though since I’m just used to that being solely from that era, I don’t think they needed to create Spellbinder in the past, but eh. Son of Kal-El got an gorgeous AAPI cover. We finally got the next issue of the JL vs LSH mini-event. Halcyon Legacy gave us a cool Asajj Ventress variant. X-Men and the new Sam Wilson Capt run gave us the start of these postcard variants which I enjoy. And Shang-Chi got an AAPI variant too. We got the next issue of the Miles What If story. And to celebrate both Thor and Hulk’s 60th Anniversary, we got a crossover between their comics, of which I also got the wraparound variant. And I got three posters. I’m showing only two of them because one is going o be a gift and I don’t want to spoil it for my friend. I’ll post it here after I give it to them.

It’s always fun when we get two titles crossing over, and both Thor and Hulk have been having a very difficult time recently, so this should be interesting to read.

Love the colors on this cover. The shading is great.

I feel like these postcard variants should be displayed somehow, I’m not sure what I’ll do eventually, maybe in a folio. Hmm, we’ll see. Can’t wait to get the rest of them.

May 4, 2022

Last week’s issues. Getting the Legends of Tomorrow issue of Earth-Prime is bittersweet with the cancellation of the show. The next part of the Shadow War event dropped. Flashpoint Beyond started. And the aftermath of the Trial of the Amazons started with the official coronation of Nubia. I got that Marauders issue because of the Eric, The Red cover. Thunderbird got a Giant-size special. The Crimson Reign arc of Star Wars ended. We finally got the Obi-Wan Kenobi comic (for Star Wars Day)! Though it’s funny, that second cover (the Gist variant) is art that I’ve seen before, in 2018 I saved a promo image of that cover that I guess they never used for what it was supposed to be for, though I have a feeling this series was supposed to come out back then and they decided to wait till it coincided with the Disney+ series coming out. The Peach Momoko variant is also lovely, and I have the David Nakayama variant pre-ordered.

Oh look, the issues from day before yesterday! XD We got two more parts of the Shadow War event, the last part of the Trial of the Amazons event, and the Death of the Justice League this week for DC. And for Marvel: The Knights of Ren infiltrated Vader’s Castle; Punisher and Carnage continue their new runs; Knights of X started; Thor #750 dropped with the funeral of Odin; this run of Ms. Marvel finished (though there are a couple more stories starring her coming this summer!); and a new run of The Amazing Spider-Man started and I got some variants of the issue.

Also, I probably will pick out a couple of the variants from each week that I love from fave artists or characters etc. to have separate photos for.

The gorgeous Jee-Hyung Lee Silk variant. I mean look at this!! I had to get this.

This is also a beautiful variant. I mean, wow.

April 20, 2022

Woot! This is the first time after being caught up that I can post photos I just took! XD We got the second Earth-Prime issue featuring Superman & Lois characters. The Wonder Girl issue is the penultimate issue of the Trial of the Amazons event. MTG gave Liliana her own title. Hulk I think will introduce us to a new character or Hulk persona. The next issue of the Gwenverse title dropped. And finally, the new era of Captain America has begun (with another title dropping next week, May 4th I think focusing on Sam being Capt again)!!

This is the wraparound over for this issue. I always enjoys covers like this.

This is these two connecting covers for Wonder Girl connected.

This is another fantastic variant by Jenny Frison.

Spring 2022 late issues

These arrived a few weeks or days late (two months late for the DWM issue). This Punisher issue is the start of a new run where he’s apparently joined The Hand. The two variants are a Carnaged Jessica Drew and then a David Nakayama 90’s X-Men TAS variant for the X-Men 92′ House of XCII issue 1. And the Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance issue is a collected edition for reprints of the origin of the Flashpoint Batman in case people didn’t know prior to the new Flashpoint event that just started. And the DWM came with a double-sided poster! ^__^

This is the last comic post till the week of April 27th. There are a lot of issues I’m looking forward to reading. This is the week Flashpoint Beyond starts. That is Electra’s 100th issue. And the biggest thing this week was that the new comic series based on X-Men TAS started. The premise is what if the Age of Krakoa happened in that 90’s X-Men animated series universe.

Movie next! And I’ll also be caught up on movie posts after I post it, till Doctor Strange 2 in a couple weeks.

This is a BossLogic variant cover. I love his art, you’ve probably seen it online and even on some packaging for some of the relatively recent marvel movies.

This was a huge surprise for me. I went to my LCS as usual, and when i called in to get my list and purchase, one of the owners asked my shirt size. I told him and wondered if there was another store shirt or something he could have for me, as that had happened before. When he cam down to give me my comics I saw a jean jacket with him. He told me the other owner had been cleaning stuff out and found it and they thought it could fit me and that I’d like it. It’s from the 90’s so the sizes were different, it’s a large and I’m a modern medium, so it basically fit. So, now I have quite a cool official Marvel brand jean jacket. I love my store. <3<3

Alright! I can’t believe this, but I’m actually caught up (with this post and the next post)!! I will probably make a general post about this accomplishment also.

But, that means that this is the first week that I haven’t read the issues, and therefore, I can’t type up what I usually do about them. It will be like that from now on unless for some reason I am unable to post but still read issues. But I can comment on some of these. Batman Beyond got a new run and I got issue one to try it out and see if I’d be interested in the plot. This was also the week of issue one of the Earth-Prime miniseries that is connected to the Berlantiverse/Arrowverse on the CW. I liked that variant for Black Widow just because the shades design works well for a comic cover. Also, Marauders and X-Men Red started new runs. I think this is all post-Inferno. And there’s the Devil’s Reign finale which I’m excited to read.

Photo two is there because I forgot to add them in the first photo again. A DWM issue from Feb and the second issue of Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. Since reading the first issue, I have been looking forward to issue two of this book. I can’t wait to read it and be in awe over the art.

March 30, 2022

Dark Ages had its last issue, Captain Marvel started a new arc, Silk battled the witch and things didn’t go as planned, Banner was still doing some crazy stuff, Miles and Shift were thrown into the multiverse to look for someone, Peter and Ben weren’t on the same page as Ben still had lost memories (this led to a big change for Ben), Johnny Blaze had to figure out what was going on and who trapped him, the new Iron Fist had much to learn, we got a new title with Immortal X-Men, Spider-Woman had its final issue and Shadow War had begun.

Photo two is there because I forgot to include them in the first photo. One SWI issue and a Black Label title focusing of the rogues of Flash when they’re older.

Photo three is a special that I wasn’t sure I needed so looked it up to make sure. so I got it two weeks later.

and photo three is a poster of issue one of the new run of World’s Finest.

Movie next!
