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.
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.
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.
The Arkham Tower arc ended in Detective Comics with lessons learned, Clark began to make his moves since Midnighter started the ball rolling early, Rose and her new friend wanted Slade’s attention and got it (this would lead into the upcoming Shadow War event), Damian’s issue also would lead to that event, we got the next issue of Trial of the Amazons, we got the final issue of Demon Days (though apparently we’re not done with this world!), Maestro headed for Atlantis, Tony had to work on some things after he literally tore things apart, Kamala had problems with her doppleganger, Emma Frost played her hand perfectly (Fisk should have thought thrice before going after her), we got Thor’s granddaughters from Jason Aaron’s run back in Avengers Forever, and Sabé returned in Vader’s comic.
The Avengers were losing to these multiversal Masters of Evil, Monica Rambeau was making moves against Beyond, Thanos met his great uncle (this issue was late by a couple weeks), Carnage started its new run, Halcyon Legacy dipped its toe into the prequel era as we saw an adventure with Aura Sing, The Watcher went to plead the other Watchers to help with the Reckoning War, but they put him on trial and showed him a future that made him doubt his choices, Xanadoth had taken Black Adam as an unwilling host, Wally and Dick had an adventure, and the Trial of The Amazons continued after a most tragic death.
A creature created from DNA of The Lizard and Morbius was causing problems in ASM, Thor had finally become a fully realized All-Father after Odin’s sacrifice, we got a Han & Chewie title from a time before A New Hope, we got an in-depth look at The Archivist in Crimson Reign 3 and her knowledge of The Force and galactic history, the Eternals needed something from the Celestial that was now Avengers Mountain so they went to take what they needed, this run of Kate Bishop: Hawkeye was over, Marvel gave us a Captain Carter title (probably from the popularity of the character from the What If…? series on Disney+ even though this is a different version of that character.), Sabretooth was still plotting what he’d do when he escaped, we got a Women of Marvel special, (with some great variant covers), the last issue of Superior Four dropped, as did the penultimate issue of Devil’s Reign, Omega Red had taken one of Logan’s bodies and there came another Wolverine of sorts to Krakoa from another time, the situation at Arkham Tower became dangerous as Scarecrow took control though the Bat-family was there too, Jon and Nightwing continued to bond, Naomi got new run (even if only a miniseries), the JL and the LoSH were still trying to figure out what this darkness was that was messing with both teams, The Trial of the Amazons had begun, and we got the final issue of the Superman vs Lobo three-part series.
The two photos below are the same pile just closer since the lighting on the main photo left the issues a bit faded since the camera couldn’t focus well.
We got the last issue of Static for this run, remember that Lord of Chaos from Superman a while ago? she came back and the Justice League was trying to stop her, Justice League Incarnate had its final issue which saw the team try to stop Darkseid, they realized they had to let him win and let’s just say Darkseid should have been careful what he wished for because the end of this title led directly into what would come in JL 75 (this JLI issue is another that has a lot of great splash pages), we got our first What If…?-specific to Miles issue (this would tie into his comic), Orchis was making moves against mutantkind, Door Z was opened in Spidey, we met a very different Tony Stark in Avengers Forever, Johnny went to face Annihilus, Jen had an unexpected visitor, and with Stephen gone, Clea took over as Sorcerer Supreme of earth in her new title (which really is still the Doctor Strange run since the Legacy numbering continues from that of Doctor Strange’s comics).
