Got a couple Artgerm covers, love those Darkseid covers, also the X-men covers that showed different iterations of certain characters, and the Fearless variants were great. Oh, also, there was a 40th Anniversary issue of Doctor Who Magazine.

This week’s issues were only three because of the holiday, but also I was waiting to buy everything during the New Year’s sale on the first.

Stephen got the use of his hands back, but basically had to learn magic again because his muscles weren’t used to things being back the way they were. After Absolute Carnage, Eddie went to an island to be alone and deal with things, but the Carnage Symbiote followed him (this was also before King in Black would slowly start to happen), and Marvel’s Incoming one-shot that had a murder mystery but also pointed to various goings ons in Marvel comics that were yet to come.

There was drama in the Agents of Atlas, Gwen had Jackal problems, Nico had magic problems, Thor had become a Brood, Thor’s three teamed up yet again, things were crazy in Guardians, Gwenpool got a cosplayer cover and went home, Cosmic Ghost Rider got a new run, the 2099 and Annihilation events were going, The Rise of Kylo Ren title started, and the special issue that ended this era of Star Wars comics dropped (Empire Ascendant), we learned more about Selina, Diana met Silencer, the Teen Titans had a mystery to solve, the City of Bane event ended, Aquaman had some big fish to deal with, Richard became a Talon at long last, Jon and the Legion were having quite the time, Lex was on his last leg, (as far as I remember) Commissioner Gordon was the last to be revealed as Infected, and all six Infected came together in Batman/Superman and the Hell Arisen special that began the finale of this event, Wally learned more of his forgotten life, oh look, the final issue of Doomsday Clock (forgotten about it hadn’t you?
