(This special edition of SWI came out the day before this, but I thought it unnecessary to have a post for it alone)

Shadow King had the upper hand on the New Mutants, Eddie died, the FF needed Jen to represent them in superpower court, this Daredevil run ended with as much chaos as you would expect from these characters, oh and Kingpin and Typhoid Mary got married, Last of the Marvels continued for all the Marvels, Black Bolt got a Darkhold issue, one Wanda was dead and one Wanda was back, Black Cat, Ben Reilly and White Fox all had to deal with the repercussions of Stephen dying, Avengers got its 750th issue which would change everything and lead into the next big Avengers event arc, Tezzeret got an MTG special, Clark took on Mongul (whoops, been spelling it wrong, haha), the side-stories from the Batman issues focusing on Ghost-maker concluded in an annual, Nightwing and Red Hood had an adventure, the JLD annual that should have come out months ago finally came out, this was the week of DC annuals, Justice League Incarnate got a title where they searched for Barry and had to figure out what Darkseid was planning (this all continuing from the Infinite Frontier story), Fear State’s final issue dropped, Gotham’s villains got a special anniversary issue, and DC gave us the spectacular Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons (this issue gave us an in-depth look at the creation of the Amazons and all sorts of godly events).

THIS ISSUE. So, basically, this was the most beautifully drawn and colored comic I’ve ever seen. I mean, just, wow. I took the photo after I read it so I could make this post. I would have taken photos of any of the pages, but I thought that it really needed to be witnessed in person. I wouldn’t suggest reading it online, I would go out and find a copy somewhere and read it in its physical form. It’s utterly worth it.

Robin was doing badly against Hawke, Doctor Fate borrowed Flash, ZomBane, Checkmate’s last issue dropped, Fear State was still going, we got a Life Day special from Star Wars, we got a new arc in Thor where the god of hammers had it out for Thor, Tony became Cosmic Iron Man after getting Power Cosmic, Kraven went after Ben (Oh, right, Ben Reilly took over as Spider-Man while Peter was in a coma), Black Panther got a new run, Hulk got a new run (to be honest, coming after that last run, the beginning of this one didn’t really make sense, but maybe that’ll change since it’s still going currently), and we met the Three Mothers.

Also the two issues in photo two were late by a week. we got a special that (for now) ended Stryfe’s threat, and Kate Bishop got a new run.

At this point Marvel was having distribution problems I think, hence no Marvel during that week (after starting the post for the week after this I saw that I got all the issues by then, so I added them after posting this post initially).

Superman and the team made it to Warworld (things went very badly), Harley and Ivy were doing their best, the Outsiders had some future help in one of the Batman Urban Legends stories, and we got the second issue of Superman and Lobo. And for the Marvel ones: The Thing got a story set in the past, Betsy and Arthur were at arms, Morbius guested in ASM, Venom got a new run with Dylan being the lead, and Thanos had been voted the Prime Eternal.

Got a couple posters.

DC gave us a maxiseries called Dark Knights of Steel (basically, the DC universe based in medieval times), Icon & Rocket were doing good but disrupting everything, some of the TT Academy students had to thwart Grodd, Crush had an unexpected date, Scarecrow’s plans continued, Superman & the Authority had a special where Bruce found out what they were doing, in WOTBH Leia and Qi’ra met for the first time (oh, right, Crimson Dawn returned during WOTBH. Surprise!), and we got a couple TDODS issues.
