DC gave us a summer special, the Legion of Superheroes were under arrest, X-Factor got a new run, Iron Man 2020 was on its penultimate issue, Empyre was happening, Carol was an Accuser, the X-men had to defend Krakoa and the Moon, and Peter had the Sins Rising event (this would bring him such trauma).

Funnily enough, the X-Men/FF 3 here still has the release date of march 25, 2020 online even though I got it alongside issue 4on this day.

Mr. Mind was having a good time, Zatanna was adamant at bringing Zatara back from the dead, Red Cloud went at Clark again, Barry met the Terror Twins again, The Joker Was had started, Barbara was in trouble, Franklin was being pulled in two directions and his choice was made for him, Hulkling had an Lords of Empyre special (major players in the story had Lords of Empyre special one-shots throughout the event), we got a prelude to the next big Spider-Man event, and we got a special issue of Joker/Harley Criminal Sanity.

Also got a DC poster.

This poster was a promotion for the Three Jokers story that had been promised to us since The Darkseid War.

The Justice League were on different sides of their alien encounter, Selina was on vacation with some other cats, Damian had his sights on taking out KGBeast, Nightwing met Punchline, Dark Knights: Death Metal issue 2 dropped, Jessica Drew had a new suit and so many secrets yet to be unleashed, Carol and Logan had an adventure, a new symbiote appeared, Khonshu’s rule continued, Peter’s new enemy was making moves, the Empyre had begun and Logan and Peter stepped in as FF members to help Valeria and Franklin while the others were busy with the larger Empyre stuff.

Black Tom was having problems, Johnny Blaze faced judgement, Stephen visited the bizarre bazaar, the FF got caught up in Empyre on the way back to earth, this Superman issue introduced the lord of chaos known as Xanadoth, Harley was having a difficult time, secrets were brought to light for Bart Allen, Jessica Cruz was the only hope, Carter and Shayera faced TLBTV, Diana had to contend with the Phantom Stranger, Bruce and Selina have a tough time after Selina’s secret was revealed, Joker was on step closer to Joker War, DCeased got another spin-off set in the future from the main series, and Deathstoke appeared in the BTAS universe.

Movie next.

The Shazam issue is from June 3rd. Batman and Scarecrow dropped by.

June 17:

Green Lantern comics were weird at this point XD, the Outsiders still had Ra’s problems, Flash had a visit from the Suicide Squad, Superboy had a lot going on now that he had returned, Donna was in trouble, Carter and Shayera were together again, and Dark Knights: Death Metal had started.

June 24:

Thor was inside the Black Winter, Leader was meddling, the Empyre event started at Marvel, Barry was not having a good time, Brother Blood was dead, the Justice League had to fight the Hydra, Joker War was closer, Green Lantern got its 80th Anniversary special, and we got Harley and the BOP issue 3.

So, I thought things would be jumbled but they seem not to be, I checked every issue in these photos and they’re all from either of the two dates. And at this point I got comics every other week. So, I suppose I will just post photos two weeks at a time till the point when the issue quantity picked up again. Just lean into the chaos XD.

June 3:

Clark was bonding with the returned Conner, Batman, JLD and Wonder Woman were not having great times, and Catwoman got its 80th Anniversary special.

June 10:

Miles was dealing with being outlawed, Diana brought the JL to Themyscira, we got a Batman Secret Files issue, we met new members of the Legion, the Designer storyline was going in Batman, Thawne and Barry teamed up against Paradox, JLD had Darkseid battling Epoch, More Joker in Nightwing, the Batman Animated series got a canon comic series set the final season, Joker had its 80th Anniversary special, and I got a DWM.

FYI I just realized that when I post photos normally, y’all can’t click the photos unless they’re posted via a gallery. So, from now on, all photos will be galleries. I would have gone back and changed them all if I didn’t have over 200 posts now, so, sorry about that. Whoops! XD

The Age of Khonshu began in Avengers, Spidey and Boomerang’s pet grew a bit, we got the final issue of Venom for this run, I got Doctor Aphra’s issue 1 from this new run (as I tend to get issue one’s even if I (even if I only get the volumes for the runs), Booster Gold was bugging Harley, Spectre was not happy with the Justice League, and Barry was going through some time shenanigans with Paradox.

An issue of Batman and the Outsiders came the following week so I decided to just include it here.

Variants for Marvel #1000, Detective Comics #1000, Flash #750 and Wonder Woman #750 in photo two.

For these big issue milestones, DC does covers from each decade the the character had been around. I used to get them all, but at some point I just stuck to the A cover, the 90’s variant, and if there is any artists that I like variants. I think I stopped at the point when I couldn’t got into the store, so, I couldn’t leave issues in my box anymore. And that still continues today since I can’t go into the store still.

These are the first issues that came out when my store opened again in mid May 2020. Some are from the week of May 13 and some are from the week of May 20. I guess the order will be like this for a while. I checked for the next post and some issues are from May 27 but some are also from May 5, So until the release order levels out again, I’ll just be posting these as something like May 2020 2, May 2020 3 etc. from the post after this till it catches up.

Everyone was doing badly in all of these XD. That’s it.

That last comic post must have been the last time I went into the store for comics because of the pandemic. Because for these, Greg from my store delivered issues from March 25 to my house on April 26th. I finally posted these on May 21st XD.

I got the first two of the FF Grand Design issues, the CW’s Berlantiverse/Arrowverse had tie-in issues to its version of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Detective Comics 38 got a reprinting, Kara tried to deal with the infection herself, the Flashes were having time troubles, Two-Face got a cult, Yong Justice guested in Action Comics, Spidey got a pet, Hellions got a new run, Giant-sized X-Men got a Nightcrawler issue, and Hulk and Xemu and Dario all smashed it out.

I also got all the DWM issues I had in my box. (Also half my box of variants from the past 6+\- months came but that’s different post).

<HUGE side-note, I don’t think I ever took those photos of all those variants, the pile was just huge, so I didn’t want to tackle it at that time. So, the pile has been in my house for two years. I may end up taking that photo at some point after I catch up with all these posts>.

Also, this was my last comic post on my twitter. I still took the photos but never got to posting them, with being so behind and then this being the last pile I got before the store closed for a few months since the pandemic hit the distributors, I knew I would be very far behind on posting whenever the store opened again. Now I’ll have to only use my photo folders and comic archives to be able to place all the comic photos from after this point.

Chase was acting odd in Runaways, the FF were back on earth with a guest, X-Force were investigating some very angry plants, Captain Marvel has its 150th issue, Gwen got herself her very own symbiote (it’s artificial if I remember correctly), Jane and Thor continued their conflict, Mary Jane started a new arc, Spider-Woman started a new run (and I just read the final issue of that run yesterday.), this issue of Atlantis Attacks was the last one before the break (the next issue wouldn’t be till November of 2020 and would continue the story and the final issue would be in December and was part of KIB), the Outlawed event began (a time where young heroes were outlawed from being heroes because of what happened to Kamala, unless they had mentors who registered them), Joker visited Nightwing (Joker War was coming), the next Hell Arisen issue had Perpetua taking the power she gave to Lex back after his failures, and Robin got an 80th Anniversary special.

Variants in the next photo of Mercy from the previous week, and all the Spider-Woman ones my store had.

Movie next (ish).
