MTG dropped issue two, I got that Future State: Gotham 1 for the cover, Felicia had a lot going on, Jessica had a set of annoying brothers on her tail, the new Guardians arc continued, we got the next WOTBH prelude, Jon and Clark faced an unexpectedly difficult opponent, Diana had to face her darkest self, it was time for more FF drama, Johnny having ex issues, check, Doom wanted something crazy of Reed, check, all sorts of craziness about to happen, check, Fisk’s plan all came to a head in the King’s Ransom special, and DC gave us a special celebrating Asian heroes and their cultures, and their foods!

The second photo is of Funko Pops I got at my LCS, had to get that Mark III Ironheart and of course the HUGE Galactus.

May 5, 2021

A Guardian was dead, we got introduced to a new character in Batman named Miracle Molly (one of the Unsanity Collective), the classic story: Thanos Quest got a reprinting in one volume, Storm had big changes in mind, Big things were happening in Hulk, America meets someone who is part of a past she doesn’t remember, Fisk hired everyone to get Boomerang and Spidey, the event Heroes Reborn started (II didn’t actually get many of these just because it didn’t look like a substantial event, but it had some influence on things, so I bought the collected edition which should arrive in July of this year.), and finally, the prelude to an event I got every issue from arrived, SW’s first major event of this era: War of the Bounty Hunters (this told the story of the moment Han got flown away on Slave I to the moment he was dropped off at Jabba’s palace. Yes, there was a lot between those two points.)

Mr. Worth was quite a crazy Batman character XD, the Warworld story in AC was beginning, the TT Academy was having problems on day one, Damian got a title all his own where he participated in a very deadly tournament (that arc ended recently), the 50th Anniversary of Man-Thing continued with another special, Miles got his own Clone Saga arc, Reed and Ben went exploring through the Forever Gate and found quite an expressive place, Silk was busy with a cat demon, Vader landed on Exegol, we got the guide for the first Krakoan Hellfire Gala (the second one is happening soon), and the next SW Insider.

I liked the cover for the guide, hence the standalone image, and then some more DWM issues.

Dick Grayson made a big decision about what to do with the inheritance he got from Alfred, he got a puppy and Blockbuster was making moves, Black Adam joining the JL caused some growing pains, Jessica Drew got her classic costume back after what the other costume was really doing, Krakoan residents were under mental attack, Carol asked Stephen to just teach her magic (if I remember correctly, he literally laughs), Champions started a new arc about some funky technology from a dubious company, Eternals had drama, Hela and Karnilla drama in the new run for Mighty Valkyries, Fisk drama in Spidey, we got the Women of Marvel special, and I liked the cover and story of Laila Starr, so I got the first issue here (then got all the rest as they came, since it was great!)

April 14, 2021

Diana was having afterlife troubles, Clark and Jon went to visit an old friend of Clark’s off-world, things don’t go as planned, Doctor Who’s Missy got a title, people weren’t fans of Maestro, Logan had vampire problems, the Power Pack got caught in a trap, Black Cat was very busy liberating various items from all over the place, the Children of the Atom made moves, Guardians new era began at issue #175, Hellcat needed Moondragon’s help, the Prey finale happened in Thor, and there were some more KIB issues.

April 7, 2021

The Unsanity Collective made itself known, and Fear State was brewing, Teen Lantern (from Young Justice) went to Oa (there was drama), Nico had problems with her staff, Phoenix had chosen its new host, Hulk was de-powered, Tombstone’s daughter and Robbie Robertson’s son were dating (their father’s found out), America Chavez was starting to find out that family history wasn’t exactly what she thought it was, this Venom issue was the last issue before issue 200, a lot was going on, KIB 5 dropped, and Magic: The Gathering trading card game got BOOM! to make a comic series (the story has been fun and the cover art has been great!).

Got two late DWM issues.

March 31, 2021

Felicia had to deal with a copycat, the X-Men in The Vault escaped, Capt had this run’s antepenultimate issue, Silk got a new run, Beta Ray Bill got a run dealing with the after effects of Knull in space, there were more KIB issues, Wally had decided to step away from being The Flash but some crazy things happened and his mind was sent backwards and forwards in time into predecessors and descendants respectively, Power Rangers got an Ecliptor and Astronema one-shot, we got an Other History issue for Tastu Yamashiro (Katana), and the next SW Insider.

Image two is the STUNNING Jen Bartel variant for Silk 1, and the first Man-Thing mini-event Avengers special. They came the following week.

And lastly, there’s a poster of a future Yara cover. Movie next!

Harley got a new run for IF, Teen Titans Academy combined the Teen Titans title and the Titans title and gave us the first comic appearance of Red X from the Teen Titans animated series, Jon tried his best to save Clark, the Pantheon had Maestro beaten…, Miles was getting over what happened during KIB, Wakanda Prime awaited the rogue empire for war in the penultimate issue of this legendary run, Betsy and Kwannan had a lot going on, the end of this era of Guardians ended, KIB still was happening (yes that Miles issue mentions him being post-KIB but that’s just because comics sometimes fall behind or get printed bit ahead during a big event, never mind during a pandemic).
