This does get its own post just because the character Dawkhawk was created the year I was born, so it came back for its 30th Anniversary. This was just the A Cover that came in late.

The next issues of Laila Starr, MTG and Sweet Paprika dropped, New Mutants (at this point I got started getting this story arc because it was Shadow King related and I realized Gabby was in this run with a new name, Scout), Jen had gone Red (Room) Hulk, Captain Marvel entered The Last of the Marvels arc (which recently ended. Freaking Vox), we got the next issue of Demon Days, Sinister War continued, Wiccan and Hulking got a Last Annihilation special as Planet Dormmmu’s (yes) Mindless Ones raged around the galaxy, we got Dark Ages (this was advertised and I was initially decently excited and then once I read the first issue, I realized it wasn’t the 616 universe. It’s still a cool story, but I’d thought it was canon.), at this point in the High Republic, the comics skipped forward a bit after the events of a recent HR novel, so I had to pause reading these since these issues, Midnighter got an annual issue to finish off the stories from Action Comics side-stories, this Yara issue had some fantastic art in it (I mean the cover is gorgeous too), Roy and Jade end up meeting each other in Infinite Frontier and Barry was forced to summon people to Omega Planet as Darkseid’s plans were coming to a head, Fear State began in Gotham as Scarecrow wanted to push the city beyond fear itself, and Aquaman got its 80th Anniversary issue.

Movie next!

Winder Guard got a microseries, Darkhawk got a new run, Spidey had Baron Zemo problems, Spider-Man Life Story got a special annual, Black Widow got to its 50th issue with the end of this arc and new writers taking over next issue, Thor found Odin, Marvel Voices dropped its Identity issue focusing on AAPI heroes, WOTBH raged, as did Sinister War, Riot was the focus of the next Extreme Carnage issue, we got another Infinite Destinies issue, Last Annihilation continued with the return of older Cable, Icon & Rocket wanted to clean up drugs around the country, Damian faced the rest of the Bat-family as they tried to help him, Jon was struggling to live up to his father, Checkmate was still investigating, Bruce was infected and dialed up the brutality, Diana was all over the multiverse, and we got a Superman and Lobo Black Label title.

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.
