Capt wa unsure of Shang-Chi’s intentions (as were other heroes), the Eternals still were dealing with Thanos before it was too late (spoilers, too late happened), there was a lot going on in Daredevil, Black Cat got an Infinite Destinies issue (though this was the last issue but the some of the previous issues hadn’t even come out yet, so I had to wait a couple months before getting to this), we got the Chameleon Conspiracy ending which would change things, Durge the bounty hunter (from the original Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series that preceded the CGI Star Wars: The Clone Wars series) made his comic debut in this Doctor Aphra issue, we got an origin issue for Father Valley (the bounty hunter hired to kill Selina), Infinite Frontier got a special that was styled as Mr. Bones’ secret files on the character in the story (he was going through a bit of multiversal paranoia at the time), Green Arrow got its 80th Anniversary issue, and we got the next SWI issue.

Cable 7 was very very late from January (though that might have also been because I ordered it late and my store just had to track down and issue, I ‘cant remember now.), Star Wars 12 was from March and Laila Starr wasn’t actually so late, but it arrived after a lot else in June.

These were variants of DC’s Pride issue that I liked, of Crush & Lobo 1, and of Demon Days: Mariko from earlier in June. Plus the Harley Black, White and Red collected edition.

Grundy visited Harley, Damian and Conner Hawke got acquainted, the Bat-pack learned the new Red X’s identity, There was tension between Atlantis and the other countries with Warworld looming, Clark and Jon were dealing with shadow creatures, Diana got back to Olympus only to find it in ruins and the gods slain, Checkmate got a new run spinning out of the Leviathan event (all the world’s greatest detectives worked together in secret), the Infinite Frontier miniseries started (this series would lead to the next big event for DC which is starting very soon. Darkseid was making his move after being hidden from everyone since the end of DKDM when he killed The Quintessence. A group of powerful beings in the DC universe, including Hera, Highfather, Ganthet, Phantom Stranger, Spectre, and The Wizard.), The new Guardians configuration continued to move forward, Carol and Stephen’s fling continued, Vader and IG-88 had conflict, Deadpool tried to crash the Gala, a new run of Gamma Flight spun out of Immortal Hulk, and Marvel Voices released their Pride special.

Nightwing still had a Heartless problem, Selina had a very successful bounty hunter after her, Supergirl got a run spinning out of her Future State story (though this was set hundreds of years before that FS story. This ended recently and it was such a unique story, I enjoyed it a lot), Wally was still blasting through time and unfortunately for him, he wound up back at the site of the Sanctuary disaster, Static got a new run out of Milestone’s comeback, Loki was having a time in the Mighty Valkyries, Doom’s wedding was upon us and everyone was invited (which meant A LOT of drama. Never mind what was to come.), the next issue of Peach Momoko’s X-story dropped, WOTBH continued, the origin behind the clones were revealed to Miles, the Hellfire Gala continued (as printing was still out of order, Planet-size X-Men really came out a bit earlier than it should have. Also, this issue had a really important event occur that changed everything), X-corp debuted the week before and I didn’t realize that a mutant character I liked and hadn’t seen in a while was in it, so I didn’t get issue 1 right away (this was the corporate side of Krakoa that dealt with all the financials and business aspects of what the mutants had created), Infinite Destinies continued and Venom’s 200th issue dropped.

These should have come out at the end of May. This was part of Heroes Reborn where what would be the Champions became Young Squadron.

WOTBH continued, the COTA heard about the Hellfire Gala and wondered if they could attend, we got the origin of Korvac, the new X-Men team was voted in (by all the mutants in-story, and by the fans in real life), the next issue of MTG happened with a Rakdos threat rising, a lot was happening in Gotham, Diana discovered what happened to the Valkyries, and DC dropped its Pride special (the designs for this year’s have been shared and they look great!).

As the power battery was destroyed, thousands of Green Lanterns died or were stranded or incapacitated, John Stewart was one of the stranded in hostile territory, the Magistrate program had been approved by the mayor and Bruce battled Peacekeeper-01, Crush and Lobo got a miniseries, the Batman TAC got a second run, this run of Iron Fist ended, Felicia had some wins and then came the consequences, the Chameleon Conspiracy started in Spider-man, Hulk took on the Avengers again, the prelude event Infinite Destinies started (this involved the six individuals who were inhabited by/merged with the Infinity Gems), War of the Bounty Hunters started, and the Hellfire Gala had begun (this would be the most influential mutant event in recent history, other than X of Swords and the Krakoan age generally).

Harley had Hugo Strange problems, Maestro had Doom to deal with, Nimrod was online, Miles’ Clone Saga continued, Huntress had t out for Batman, Clark and Jon saved a couple of people from a crashing ship who spoke an ancient Kyptonian language, the Suicide Squad attacked TT Academy, Robin vs Flatline, the Milestone imprint returned to DC so there was a return special to celebrate which spun out into three returning titles, Stargirl got a Spring Break special, we got two more WOTBH preludes, the next issue of DC’s Other History featuring The Question (Renee Montoya’s version), and this iconic Black Panther run came to an end at issue 25 with a massive battle.

Selina found Ivy, Nightwing got a terrifying new villain who rips people hearts out of them, Naomi and the JL went to her earth and things went poorly, Wally was still hopping through minds, Yara got her own title under Wonder Girl, issue two of Laila Starr dropped, Shang-Chi got a new run, both Valkyrie’s were busy with dangerous individuals, Future Gert, we got another Hulk special, Spidey wa recovering from the events of King’s Ransom, the Champions were infiltrating, and we got another WOTBH prelude.

(totally random side-note, today (April 14, 2022) I got comics and also got a nice surprise from the owners of the store. I love my store : ) )
