These were just late issues and one variant.

These were just late issues and one variant.

Dick Grayson announced his plan for what he would do with all the money that was left to him, Clownhunter got s BSF issue, Wally wondered about the sudden change of Heatwave’s actions, the chase continued in Supergirl, Batman visited Selina, WOTBH continued, Way of X saw the truth about what was causing trouble on Krakoa, Onslaught (got an AAPI In-Hyuk Lee over), the end of the Hellfire Gala led directly into the Trial of Magneto (there has existed an event almost exactly titled as such in the past XD) which saw the investigation into the murder of Wanda Maximoff, Kang got his own title, Miles got an infinite Destinies issues with guest Amulet, Felicia went after Star, and Last Annihilation continued.

Because of all the pandemic printing delays FCBD got moved to August instead of May.

Milestone’s third returning tile was Hardware, Spinning out of Future State we got I Am Batman where Jace Fox took up the mantle while Bruce was “away” during some of Fear State, Diana was on the earth where genders were swapped and her alternate self was a villain of a man, Worth teamed up with a lot of villains to get revenge on Batman and he beginnings of Task Force Z were being noticed, Flashpoint Batman met President Superman, the final issue of COTA dropped with one of the members having been revealed as an actual mutant and invited the the Hellfire Gala, this America Chavez run was at its end with her having learned the truth about herself, a new version of the Defenders started (this team of Defenders is more of a cosmic version, not unlike the cosmic oriented version of the ultimates, this team with be thrown back into each of the previous Cosmos’, i.e. like Eternity is the modern Cosmos of the Marvel universe, to find their villain. You know I love cosmic Marvel, so this was another fave title for me), Miles had a lot to think about after his Clone Saga, Electra (and others) couldn’t figure out where Bullseye was since his attacks were happening in multiple places at once, and Matt was exposed to a drug that made him more aggressive, Carol and Rhodey went on vacation (and this issue got an In-Hyuk Lee AAPI Heritage cover), Runaways ended this run with its 100th issue (Gert saw Gert, some Majesdanians arrived to take Karolina, and the last couple pages hinted at things), the High Republic got a new title, and we got the next issue of SWI.

Lobo asked Crush to visit him in prison, Jo was investigating the Yellow Lanterns, Magistrate moved on the Unsanity Collective and Batman tried to stop them (Fear State next), multiversal shenanigans in JLI, Wade got a Black, White and Red series, Silk continued to have demon problems, Jen got controlled by The Red Room, Stephen and the Savage Avengers had to save Shuma Gorath, Hulk got its penultimate issue for this run, we got a new Ghost Rider special focusing on Kushala (a Sorcerer Supreme and a Spirit of Vengeance), Infinite Destinies continued, as did Extreme Carnage with a Lasher issue, Sinister War raged, and we got a bunch of GORGEOUS “AAPI Heritage” variants from In-Hyuk Lee.
Movie next!

Logan was the next on the list of heroes to clash with Shang-Chi, Logan was tracking Solem…or maybe he being tracked, Thanos was still making moves against the Eternals, Cable ended this run at issue 12 where the young Cable decided to return to his time, Rūna and Jane were unraveling things while Karnilla was creating life in Hel, Bullseye had taken NYC hostage as he started sniping people at random, and with Matt in prison, Electra had to deal with him (while all the heroes of NYC fail to find or stop him), Johnny did a very bad thing that caused Doom to forever (and continues to do so) change him in the Bride of Doom conclusion, Infinity Score started for Felicia as she was hired to steal the infinity gems which were people (this was happening alongside Infinite Destinies. Both event series ended with that Giant-size Black Cat: infinity Score that dropped before this), Last Annihilation continued with Doom helping out S.W.O.R.D., Sinister War continued with The Sinister Six and The Syndicate going after Spidey but Kindred is also around, Harley was freeing people from Hugo’s clutches, Huntress got a BSF special, Damian left the island for a bit and found Ra’s, who decided to help him a bit, Milestone debuted the new run for icon & Rocket, Kirk Langstrom was killed, Diana was still having Roman god problems, Clark had to stop world war fro breaking out over this Warworld tech, and Lois was in unexpected danger, a new Black Lantern appeared, Jon truly became Superman as he got his own title: Superman: Son of Kal-El, Sweet Paprika debuted, and Thunder was the focus of the final issue of DC’s Other History series.
Had to get those last two issues of Cable for those connecting covers in the second image.


Late issues and variants and issues I decided I wanted after the 21st.

Selina met Father Valley finally, Nightwing learned who Melinda Zucco was, tensions were rising in JL as Checkmate snuck into the HOJ, Wally was back with his newly rediscovered kids and things were getting back to normal (normal for a Flash at least), Booster Gold and the original Blue Beetle got a miniseries, shazam got a microseries (I’m calling a 4 issue series this just for clarity, I’m not sure if there’s a name for that already) that spun out of TT Academy, Superman and The Authority had begun (Clark had decided to give the Superman mantle to Jon since his powers were waning and he and a group of metas were poised to head to Warworld to free it from Mongol, well the new Mongol. This microserises was about him choosing that team), Laila Starr’s next issue dropped, this run of Captain Marvel got to its 30th issue so they made is extra long, Miles’ Clone Saga ended with a new friend gained, WOTBH continued, Thor got an Infinite Destinies issue, Phage was the next Extreme Carnage issue, and we entered the Last Annihilation in Guardians 16 where Dormammu wanted space as his next domain.
