The Metal Men got a maxiseries, Batman went after Bane again after returning to Gotham, Nightwing was taken control of by the Court of Owls, Lex was having a good time in JL, Wally on the other hand was having a bad time in the Dark Multiverse, I think this was the first Tales from the Dark Multiverse issue we got, Rocket had fallen, Carol was dealing with life better, Scream had an interaction with Carnage, X-Men started a new run, and I got the hardback for Tom King’s Mister Miracle run with that “Darkseid Is” cover, and that issue 3 of Superman Year One was damaged, so I got a new one the following week. Oh and I had forgotten to put that Doctor Who Magazine special edition in the first photo.

Honestly, I have can’t remember what was going on in Squirrel Girl, Miles was having Prowler problems, White Fox got a one-shot (she’s an original character created for the Marvel Future Fights mobile game), Doctor Doom got a title, Gwenpool was at “beach party” with other heroes that would got very wrong XD, Peter was still within the Absolute Carnage event, The Wonder Twins were having friend problems, Ivy and Harley had some Floronic Man troubles, Jon and Damian reunite, Catwoman had a choice to make, most of the DC titles were just not good times for heroes, Joker got a YOTV special, and Leviathan continued to be a mysterious menace.

Posters afterwards.

This week in DC was the Doom Rising week for YOTV.

Qwa-Man returned in Green Lantern, YJ were still clashing with their Earth-3 counterparts, in JL, Lex and the Legion of Doom came for the league, Batman and Catwoman were back in Gotham to take back the city from Bane, Jon Kent joined the LoSH, we got a reprinting of Bishop’s first appearance, OMQuill continued his quest for the Ultimate Nullifer, Runnaways had some difficult times ahead of them, Doctor Strange had made an enemy out of a friend, Maker had plans for Molecule Man, the FF found themselves on a strange new world that knew of them, Carnage takes on the Immortal Hulk, we got a spider-verse miniseries, Ghost Rider got a new run, Marvel Comics #1001 came out, and this run of Champions ended.

The Shazamily was in disagreement, Bizarro was still showing The Terrifics a good time, Babs still had Oracle problems, Red Hood’s new Outlaws weren’t quite manageable, Aphrodite fell and thus hate thrived in this Wonder Woman issue, Naomi popped by in Action Comics, Shazam was one of the infected in Batman/Superman, we got a reprinting of Damon Hellstrom’s first appearance, The Avengers and Cosmic Ghost Rider had beef, Kylo Ren got a one-shot, Carnage came for Spidey in ASM, and issue one of the Black Label series of Harleen came out (very good art and a new twist on Harley’s story).

I got all the rest of the Doctor Who Magazine issues from my box since they’d been in there too long.

One day I’ll catch up on these! XD

This week was subtitled Evil Unleashed for the Villain of the Year event.

Aquaman wasn’t having it from that Manta Mech, Talon was whooping the Nightwings, Supergirl wasn’t happy about Leviathan hunting her, The Teen Titans figured out the traitor, Kamandi had some visitors in his time, Lex (Apex Lex) got his own YOTV one-shot, the Legion of Superheroes came to the past to recruit Jon, Selina was having troubles, Wally had a title all his own traversing the multiverse with help from the Tempus Fuginaut (from Sideways), Spidey wasn’t doing well in FN Spider-Man, Ultron (who has been in the corpse of Hank Pym for years now) paid a visit to Tony, Valkyrie traversed the multiversal afterlife (at some point she meets the Death of Death), Wave and Aero hung out, Kamala and co. had some zombie problems, Carnage had taken root everywhere, J.J. Abrams and his son made a Spidey miniseries, and Rose and Rey got one-shots.

The Wonder Twins were living it up in the Hall of Justice, Young Justice arrived on Earth 3 (not a good earth to find yourself on), Bane continued to own Gotham, Mirror Master caused Flash difficulty, Hawkman still was in the shadows, Darkseid had taken Cyborg, Starfire and Azrael as his dark New Gods, Diana was sill at eh mercy of Cheetah and the Godslayer, Riddler was holding his own (I feel like I remember him rejecting Luthor’s Offer, but I’m not sure), Clark went after Leviathan, Supreme Leader Snoke got a one-shot, a Moon Knight annual saw him tussle with Kang, Black Cat planned to rob Reed, Doreen got a visit from Doom, Spider-Man had an extremely stern conversation with Matt about not going out heroing, Stephen had trouble using magic when he absolutely needed to, Carol met the new villain Star (this happened because of what happened in the time bubble), Shang-Chi visited Sword Master, Gwenpool had some fun with her powers, oh right, in that new Loki run, he’s king of Jotunheim (hence that caption on this issue), Riri had some technical difficulties regarding ten rings, Silver Surfer questioned what to do after seeing Galactus forming in the early universe, King Thor got a title continuing on from the Jason Aaron run of Thor that has portions of it taking place in a future where Thor was King at the end of time, and Miles got his 250th issue with the horror of Ultimate Goblin showing up on Earth 616 and Ultimatum was making moves.

Got one Doctor Who Magazine issue that week.

More some reason I posted photos from Sept 4, 11, 18, 25 and Oct 2 all on Oct 7.

We got a reprinting of Poison Ivy’s first appearance, that Supergirl issue must have been set before the Superman issue that concluded that situation with Rogol, Hal and Carol faced trouble together, Harley was back to normal, Slade and his son were not exactly bonding, Hypertime was having trouble in Justice League, DCeased had a special, Harley and Ivy got a miniseries, Legion of Super Heroes had a two-part prelude involving Rose & Thorn (mentioned that a little while ago on here), OMQuill and Gladiator were at arms, Hulk was all Gamma chaos everywhere, the Future foundation broke who they thought was Reed out of a space prison but it was actually Maker, while the FF had decided (well Reed did) to revisit their original mission in the original ship and things go badly, again but differently, oh right, that Gwen run that started was about her being on this earth since she was taking classes at the school 616 Peter taught at (multidimensional commuting is a lot), Amadeus and Luna Snow got together, on livestream accidentally, Scream was taken over by Carnage (FYI Carnage was serving Knull at this point), and the Champions were betrayed.

Doctor Who Magazines that had piled up are photo two and posters afterwards.

The H-Dial was busy, one end of Rogol Zaar, Red Hood got some new Outlaws, Babs was dealing with a rogue Oracle, the Terrifics encountered Bizarro, JLD was struggling against Circe (having accepted Luthor’s offer), Deadshot was gunning for Batman, Luthor’s gift to Cheetah was the Godslayer sword, Red Cloud also indulged in a Dark Gift, The Flash’s rogues did so too, The Justice/Doom war began, in a new Batman/Superman run, they learned that some of the heroes were infected by The Batman Who Laughs to go dark (time was not on their side), the Power Pack ad a one-shot (I’m relatively sure that’s a one-shot and not a miniseries), Niko and Carolina were secretly hero-ing it up in Runaways, Fisk was after Boomerang because he knew a big secret, Avengers Mountain wasn’t happy, General Hux and Poe Dameron both got a one-shot each, Black Panther returned to earth, Stephen was continuing to have magical troubles, Steve was wanted for murder, Thor was dealing with the aftermath of the war, Kamala and Carol’s team-up continued, Absolute Carnage and HoX continued, and Marvel Comics #1000 dropped.

Evidently I forgot to post these till the following week. Another week with no variant picked up. At this point I tended to leave variants for one of the biannual sales or just when it was a light week and I could squeeze some variants in.

Black Manta’s gift was basically a giant mech, the Nightwings were attacked by Talon, Lobo was holding his own, DC started giving certain villains one-shots for YOTV and Black Mask was the first, Thomas Wayne Batman and Gotham Girl were a duo, Nightmare dropped in on Deadpool, Matt was struggling at not being Daredevil, Tony was having a hard time, Gwen got a new run, Valkyrie had to POX and HOTMU continued.
