May 2026 Late Issues

These are the other two variants for SWI’s final issue. The carbonite one is cool since it’s a foil cover.

I didn’t take individual photos of these two last time, so I decided to now. The main cover looks great, though I wish it just showed all the covers alone. And I love seeing Ralph McQuarrie art on the variant.

They all look great together!

Just another copy of the JLI special. And then an homage variant paying tribute to the Akira motorcycle slide from the movie.

Bruce and Babs are having trouble. Mayor Ivy has bad press. Spectre drama continues in JSA. The Batman/Static miniseries ended with this issue. Guy Gardner got a one-shot. The Kyoshi Warriors got a miniseries started. Ben 10 got a new title. We got the first Rogue One prequel one-shot to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the movie. A lot is going on in all the X-titles. Invincible Woman is causing havoc in Fantastic Four. Carol is still dealing with issues of her past. We got a Civil War miniseries started set during those events. Miles got a one-shot with collected issues 1-6 from a digital series from last year. Jubilee got a new run started. This issue of Star Wars Insider is the final issue ever! 237 issues (plus special editions). I forgot to take photo of them alone. Though I got two other variants from this issue today, so I’ll just take the photos of them all tomorrow. And those MTG variant covers will be a 20-issue set eventually!

I love the details on this Jorge Molina variant! Mirka Andolfo gave us this Batman and Shadow variant. Katana looks amazing on this John Giang AAPI month variant.

Another Jessica Fong main cover. And a cool Manny Vincent Carbonilla variant where Pam looks suave.

Jeff Dékal gave us this Absolute Superman variant. And here’s the next David Talaski cover.

The main and variant for this issue featuring The Spectre! The main by Diego Olortegui, and the variant by Seba Fiumara.

I love seeing the Batman Beyond Justice League members all on a cover plus new characters that I hadn’t seen on this version of the team yet. Thank you to Carmine Di Giandomenico! The next variant is another great Aja variant. We got a blank variant for the Kyoshi Warriors issue. This new Ben 10 run’s first issue’s variant looks great with all the aliens by Duncan Rouleau.

We got another Ryan Meinerding concept art variant. And I really like this dynamic variant by Bill Sienkiewicz.

Love this Aka variant of Carol. And this What If Gurihiru variant is fun.

Taurin Clarke gave us this Miles main cover. And Jubilee looks amazing by Fanyang!

April 29, 2026

We got the first issue of a forgotten Swamp Thing story finally being printed. We got a new one-shot with Dreamer and Galaxy in it where there’s a new JL team being made. Zatanna got a new run. Street Sharks got a new run. We got a Doom 2099 one-shot. And Wiccan’s final issue dropped.

More variants with Dreamer! This first one is by Yasmine Putri. It’s amazing! And the next one is a great Star Wars poster homage cover by Dan Mora.

A new Zatanna run means a bunch of great variants!

Jorge Corona and Sarah Stern gave us this fun first variant. The next is a gorgeous one by Eom. And I love the two poster covers by Adam Hughes! Normal and foil versions look wonderful! And a blank variant of course.

And there’s another blank variant! This one for Street Sharks. I really like this Ultimates cover by Dike Ruan and Neeraj Menon, they made Ultimate Surtur look great! This fantastic She-Hulk cover blew me away. I just love the mirroring. Hence the flipped photos. Love it! Thank you to Aaron Kuder and Sonia Oback. And the last one is a Marvel Comics Presents by Taurin Clarke.

Another great Momoko variant! And this Juan Ferreyra variant is a fantastic dynamic cover.

I love this anime-style X-23 cover by Jhony Caballero. And the Ivan Talavera variant is awesome!

Doom via Momoko.

We got the next color block Nakayama variant and the Marvel Television variant.

There’s also a second printing of this cover with red writing for the title.

April 2026 Late Issues 2

Way late posting these next posts. I even got new comics today. So I’ll be taking new photos tomorrow.

The Wonder Woman variant by David Nakayama from last time that was damaged, arrived in better condition this time. And these are all the Spider-Man/Superman crossover variants!

Such a great Nakayama variant!

Here are all the variants I chose!

The first is the blank of course. The next is by the wonderful Humberto Ramos showing Lana Lang and Gwen Stacy having lunch. Ivan Talavera did a great job with Kara and Cindy.

This wraparound by Kaare Andrews has so much going on! I love seeing all these characters together!

Love these logos!

Kara and Gwen look fantastic from Momoko! Russell Dauterman did a glorious job with this cover! Clark, Diana, Jane and Peter!? I had to get two of them. Walt Simonson gave us this Steel and Thor cover!

Giuseppe Camuncoli did this Civil War homage wraparound cover!

And this Adam Hughes variant is fun!

Completed Variant Set 37 — April 30, 2026

This is the Iban Coello connecting set! Each of them look great individually, and they do look good together.

I did my best with connecting them, as usual, some connect vertically, some connect horizontally. There is a variant that has all the designs on it, but it costs $100. It’s still not a bad 9-cover connecting set compared to other sets.

April 22, 2026

Superboy Prime is having fun. A new Image title started called In Your Skin. Hello Darkness got a spin-off called Hello Body Horror. Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge got a new title subtitled Echoes of the Empire. Dormammu visits the Sorcerer Supreme. We got the next Rogue issue featuring Sabretooth. The Death Spiral event ended. We got a new title called The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-versity. And we got Spider-Man/Superman 1 as the continuation of the previous crossover.

I really love this dynamic Flash cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli. It just looks so cool. And the Absolute Flash variant is by John Timms. The last one is a character reading a comic cover by Cary Nord.

This is another Frison variant and a blank variant.

The next Sorcerer Supreme covers. The main cover is of course by Leirix, the first variant is by Dauterman and the last one is a Fanyang.

This is a great looking variant of Ultimate Sabretooth by Stefano Caselli.

This is the final Coello connecting variant. And then another Nakayama color block variant.

April 15, 2026

The next Jessica Jones issue. Same with X-Force (with another main cover without Kamala for no good reason). Venom 257 is the penultimate issue of the Death Spiral event. This is the final issue of Ultimate Wolverine. The Thundercats villain Mumm-Ra got his own miniseries. The Titans are having growing pains. Nightwing is targeted. And the next Next Level titles dropped their issues.

The amazing next David Mack main cover and a Marvel Comics Presents variant by Joëlle Jones.

A simple physical 4th wall break design by R.B. Silva and colored by David Curiel.

The main cover and connecting cover for this issue. The main cover is by E.J. Su, I just like the way Carnage is drawn and colored. The variant is the Coello variant.

The next Shredder variants, by Alberto Jiménez Albuquerque and Issac Goodhart respectively.

The animated variant for Mumm-Ra 1 and the blank variant.

This Super Creepshow cover is an homage cover. I still can’t remember what this design is paying homage to. I think it’s a Batman cover.

The next Catwoman covers.

I don’t think I have any covers by this artist, but it looks fantastic! This is by Manny Vincent Carbonilla.

Two Titans variants. The Raven one is part of a set, but I only wanted Raven. This is by Ethan Young. And the other variant is by Stephen Byrne.

Dike Ruan did a great job with this cover.

Jorge Fornés did this main cover. And Nakayama gave us this Nightwing cover.

The next Stjepan Šejić variant and a fantastic Frison variant.

I feel like it’s been a while since I got a Sweeney Boo variant. This is a fun Lobo design.

The next Deathstroke variants. The first by Dan Panosian, the second by Tyler Kirkman & Arif Prianto, and the third one is by Guillem March.

April 2026 Late Issues

All the things are late but eh.

I got a copy of the 48th printing of the first volume of One Piece that was printed in 2025. And I forgot to include the Echoes of the Empire variant by Gist in the main photo. And of course I finally got the variants of the Superman/ Spider-Man special from a month or two ago.

I still want to buy a box set of the manga, but I wanted to have this volume just because it was the most recent printing. It’s just crazy that it’s on its 48th printing.

Here is the main cover and all the variants that I liked. There are a bunch of other variants too.

The main cover is by Jiménez. The next is a Jim Lee cover (also by Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair). Then Mike Janín. Next of course is an Artgerm cover. Then a wraparound Koblish and Hi-Fi variant. Next was a fantastic Nakayama variant. And the next one with Superboy Prime on it was by Daniel Sampere and Tomeu Morey. Then the punk variant by Jeff Spokes. A blank variant of course. The penultimate one is by Jiménez and Morey. And the final one is by David Talaski. I love all these covers!

Such a dynamic cover! Especially that back cover!

It’s such a simple design. It works so well.

Such a classic-looking design.
