The Nightwings met a fiery new opponent, Bruce and Selina see each other again after everything, ah I also forgot more of what was happening in Uncanny X-Men (that since AOX happened, Psylocke got split back into her two halves, while Betsy was in AOX, Kwannon was outside and she was quite furious), Just a side note really, but I had forgotten that at this point in time Groot had started to speak sentences and such properly (it only lasted for a while), Miles was dealing with Tombstone, Peter was trying to get to Lizard to get help from Dr. Connors, Many things were happening in AOX, the War of the Realms (WOTR’s) continued, as did Spidey Life Story and Ms. Marvel (she was having quite a time), and the age of Rebellion got a one-shot. Variants in second photo.

The Wonder Twins met Gleek, Kara had Rogol’s axe and it was changing her, Giganta and Diana weren’t doing so hot against the titans, Jor-El and Clark had some slight disagreement, Hawkman was the only one left, in JLO the group of them had become gods in their future to the people of these lost worlds and Azrael’s cult was being difficult, The Arkham Knight rose in Detective 1001, more from the BWL’s origin, Rogue and Carol bring up old feelings inside the bubble, Laura and Gabby were troubled, another issue of Web of Venom introduced us the Cult of Carnage, some higher up mutants were getting suspicious of AOX, the Hunt continued, the WOTR’s invaded the Asgardians of the Galaxy and Squirrel Girl, and both Tarkin and Leia got one-shots. Variants in image two.

Loved the Catwoman variant, the SW concept variants were fun, and always happy for another Artgerm and especially one of Gwen. Also, those WOTR’s variants would all connect eventually. Tough I’m not 100% certain I took a photo of that or not. I guess I’ll see later on.

Ok. At this point I had to pause buying comics completely (for 8 weeks) because we had started making payments for solar panels on our roof. So, on my Twitter, I posted comic photo from April, during May.

Harley was having a time in her 60th issue, Hal had to deal with Adam Strange, the Justice League met the World Forger (brother of the Monitor and Anti-Monitor), Young Justice was in Gemworld for a while, Damian had Slade imprisoned (not for long of course), Domino and the Hotshots had some Deadpool interference in their mission, Cosmic Ghost Rider was still messing with history, more of Banner’s past was revealed in Hulk, Lorna was making moves in AOX, The Hunted would take a tragic turn, The War of The Realms had begun, I can’t quite remember what was happening in Champions but Kamala and Spidey had a team-up miniseries where they swapped powers, and there was another previously digital-only Jessica Jones volume where Dani Cage started exhibiting signs of having Purple an powers. Variants in image two.

This time the variants come first since most of these were from the previous week. I got all the Fuji cat variants since they are adorable. Those Star Wars one-shots had concept art variants, so I always got those. That Wonder Woman one had foil for the lasso, so good! new comics in the second image.

1 week till WOTR, Moon Girl met Sleepwalker, Rogue and Gambit relived some glory years, Doctor Strange had to deal with Galactus and it didn’t go quite the way he had planned, Secrets all over the AOX, The Hunted was a nightmare for Peter, the FF met Doom’s new herald, Riri was against an enemy who could take control of tech, Shazam and his siblings were in trouble, JLO had to deal with Blackfire, Waller was mad at Superman, Superman tried to stop Booster and Harley, the H-Dial was reintroduced in the world with a new title (a while back we entered the age of Wonder Comics where some new and returning titles appeared), and Detective Comics hit its 1000th issue (got all the decade variants of course).

Joker’s daughter after the Nightwings, the JL was in a possible future with a JL who had saved the world for good…,The Terminus Agenda was going down, Naomi learn who she is, Maker was messing with Venom, Thor was dealing with troubles throughout the Nine Realms, Carol and others were still trapped in the time bubble, the AOX was still going, and so was Infinity Watch, and we got the first issue of Spider-Man: Life Story (a fantastic take on a marvel character where they start the story when the character debuted and have them live as hey would if they had lived in real time till present day). They’ve done this with a couple other characters now and I sill have to buy them. Loved this one though. Variants in the next photo.

At this time I tended to get covers with Slade on them.

They made a connecting cover out of one issue. Loved this!

I actually got to meet G. Willow Wilson during her book tour for her novel The Bird King. She posted about it on social media and I leapt at the chance to met her. I brought both issue 1’s and her final issue of Ms. Marvel though I forgot to bring her Wonder Woman issue 1. It was a fantastic day!

The Wonder Twins were dealing with some villains, The Trickster was messing with Barry, Kara had some clone problems, Diana called Giganta for help, we got an origin for The Grim Knight, Doreen was dealing with Kang in her 50th (42nd) issue, General Grievous got a one-shot, OM Quill had caught Doom’s attention, AOX gave us Prisoner X and Apocalypse and the X-Tracts (yes he became a leader of a hippie drug cult), The Hunted continued, Ms. Marvel got her new run with a return to a classic title.

As I said on my twitter post, this gonna be a lot. Image 1, new comics. Image 2, variants Image 3, my favorite variant of the pile. And then after that the 15 full sized posters I got from my store for being a great customer! And I got that EW magazine at Safeway after comics. Also, that’s the movie in the next post.

Metropolis attacked in JL, Young Justice having trouble with Star Labs, The Terminus Agenda was just about to begin for Slade and the Titans, Green Arrow ended at issue 50, Padmé got a one-shot, Vader had a new arc starting, Deadpool was dealing with some guy who had it out for him, WOTR was a month away, The Hunted began in Spider-Man, Domino got a group comic with her friends and a few new acquaintances, Cosmic Ghost Rider got a new run and the Champions were having a bad time of things.
