Another week of the issues almost not fitting on the bed!

We got the next issue for Jason Todd and Batman. We got a free Shark Week Aquaman issue. Absolute Flash has some problems with heat. The next issue of Superman Unlimited dropped. The final issue of the High Republic Adventures dropped. Ironheart visited the Exceptional X-Men. We got a preview issue for this Fall’s Age of Revelation event. The next issue of Ultimate X-Men dropped. A new character named Nightdrifter debuted in New Champions’ penultimate issue. The next issues of Death of Silver Surfer and Imperial dropped. Kamala’s next Giant-size issue arrived and Godzilla destroys the Marvel universe debuted with Godzilla destroying a Celestial.

NEXT WEEK IS SAN DIEGO COMIC CON!!!!! ALSO, NEXT WEEK IS FANTASTIC FOUR (Though, I’ll have to wait till July 28th to watch it)!!!!

Always happy for more Slade on covers!

The next fun Nightwing cover.

Love these Zatanna covers! Frank Cho and Sabine Rich did a great collaboration as always. And Homare added so much detail in the other variant!

The next March set.

Artgerm had two covers this week on these two titles.

Nakayama did a fantastic job with Battlebeast! And this is the next connecting cover for Bad Batch. And I was very happy to see Ironheart on a cover!

The next Ultimate X-Men set!

A retro cover for this issue and a very creepy looking cover by Ryan Brown.

The next Nakayama cover for this run. And a very cool monochromatic cover of Lady Bullseye.

Another new character on a variant of their debut issue. And yes it’s a skull, but it’s still Galactus!

I love this cover of Lilandra by Clarke. And this is the next connecting cover.

The next Kamala Giant-Size issue with these great covers! The main one of course the next homage cover. The second being a gorgeous one of Wanda. And the third one being an homage cover to the House of M #1 by Joe Quesada.

Another gorgeous variant with Mother Sorrow on it.

Such fun covers! JTC is doing a set of these action figure variants, and the ones revealed look great!

The wraparound main cover looks so good by Brooks! And I liked that we got a variant with the cartoon versions of those characters on it.

July 9, 2025

Glad to be on time with posting this week!

We got another Jeff title. Laura has a returning villain. We have a new character debuting in Uncanny X-Men. Fantastic Four started its new run just in time before the new movie comes out next week. We got a summer special from Marvel. We also got a tie-in one-shot comic for the Fantastic Four movie. It’s different than the previous tie-in comics from the MCU’s past, this one is an in-universe comic that the Future Foundation published. Since the movie is next week, I had to read this issue, it was great! The Return to Skull Island title finally debuted after a few delays. Mogo is on fire! Fire and Ice have a great ape problem. We got the next DSTLRY issue. And Superman got a huge treasury-sized issue. I already ordered some bags and boards for these issues. It’s always fun to see comics in large formats like this.

A fun Chrissie Zullo Uminga cover with all the Marvel pets! And I like this Greek pottery styled cover.

This is the introduction of the character Mutina. I love the main cover being a horror VHS cover design. And Ejikure did an amazing job with this variant.

So many wonderful variants for this new run!

I love this Ross homage variant! And this Yoon cover of Sue looks fantastic! And there’s the blank.

Another great bunch of covers!

The main cover being a wraparound was nice. Adam Hughes did a great job. I love the Dauterman one too! The colors are fun. Clarke did a nice job with Peter and Kwannon. Jonny (I think?) and Wanda look great thanks to Villalobos. And I love that Brooks wraparound! It reminds me of a similar Super-family cover set. There were so many variants I didn’t get, but they all were great!

The main cover for this FF issue is for the homage of course. The next Frison variant for Hello Darkness. And another Gonzales cover!

It’s always nice to see a Lotay cover. And this is a nice homage cover to the famous Death in the Family cover.

The next March variants.

I love these covers so much!

Clark with the faces of people from around the world exemplifies what he is to everyone. I’m happy that Jurgens and Breeding got to do a cover! The main cover had the classic crest on the back, and so did this one.

The collage of all these character looks wonderful! Thank you Koblish!

And I had to get the movie poster variant. It’s such a fantastic poster! And I love the movie’s Superman crest being on the back.

July 2025 Late Issues

The Demona issue was supposed to be out a month or so ago, all the other issues were just from last time.

Love this Spears variant! And gotta have a blank variant. Another two copies of Deadpool’s 350th issue main cover for art and Ellie. Gotta have a Galactus cover. And this foil cover for the SWI magazine was fantastic. And of course I had to have another copy of Marvel Zero with Kamala front and center.

These were the previously mentioned only other variants for the Hellfire Vigil. They’re both great, but I still am very disappointed that Marvel didn’t give Dauterman and Nakayama any variants for this issue.

And this is just for Dreamer of course.

July 2, 2025

Also, these posts are all very very late because of a number of things that delayed me buying them and delayed me typing these posts up.

Batgirl must die? The Secret Six seem to be in a disagreement. We got a new run for Gotham City Sirens! We got a prelude to Days of Future Past by Claremont. The heir to Apocalypse is incoming? The final issue of this run of Ghost-Spider dropped as-well-as the final issue of Immortal Thor, with a new run starting soon for both titles. (Marvel really should stop doing these miniseries and just have good long-running arcs. Number 1’s don’t really mean anything anymore). Captain America got a new run. And Deadpool sort of got a new run, but as a group comic with both Wolverines and Ellie. The Hellfire Gala got a vigil issue. I have a lot to say about the variant covers that Marvel commissioned for this issue. It’s down by the one cover I got. And I think this is late, but we got a Marvel Zero issue which is giving us small peeks into things coming soon, but some of them have already started, so this one-shot anthology may have gotten delayed, or one story in it had new information only recently revealed. And we got the first new DSTLRY comic in months since the huge printing publishing issues it went through. And then there are a couple posters and pins at the bottom.

Love this VHS variant! And I’ve been waiting for months for this Batman 89 variant!! The issue itself kept getting delayed. I love the visual theme and symmetry of the art.

These are the next Guillem March connecting covers for the Sirens.

The next Ranger team variant, and the same Red Ranger that I like covers of.

Of course this prelude’s main cover is an homage cover to the original Days of Future Past cover. And I love the character design for Sister Sorrow! I know I said that before, but it’s great!

The next Jedi Knights covers of each respective set.

A gorgeous cover by Fan Yang. And another fantastic cover of Gwen by Mark Brooks. And of course, this luminous Thor cover by Alex Ross.

Surprisingly, there weren’t many variants of this number 1 that caught my eye. But I’m happy to have the blank and then the 250th Anniversary of the United States cover.

These are all because of Ellie, as y’all know.

This title really was disappointing in the variant cover selection. This is seemingly the farewell to those lost during the last Gala, and those Galas gave us so many wonderful designs of characters, and they gave us 4 different cover designs. That’s it. AND, neither David Nakayama nor Russell Dauterman got to do variants for this when they have so very many covers during these Galas over the past 5 years. It really is embarrassing of Marvel to have snubbed them (and probably many other artists). But this Aka variant is nice. I’m still waiting on the other two variants.

And these are the DC posters I got.

And I also got these from the store. Unlike other promotional pins, Marvel decided to charge for these. $2 each. But it’s nice to have these classic designs for the Fantastic Four.

June 25, 2025 (My 700th post!)

Wow! I didn’t realize I was at post 700 yet! I puked have liked my Superman post to have been the 700th, but eh, that’s fine.

This was another week with SO many comics. At least it didn’t overflow like last time. But still this was a lot.

We got the next Wolverine and Kitty Pride comic. This is the final issue of this run of Spider-Boy. We got some digital comics collected in an issue during the Fall of X. This is also the final issue of this run of Fantastic Four, before the new run starts very soon. This is also the final issue of this run of Deadpool, but it’s also the 350th issue! Another title continues Wades adventures in a four-way team-up title. We got the next Giant-Size one-shot in Kamala’s adventure. The final issue of Sweet Paprika: Open For Business dropped. The penultimate issue of Vigilante/Eagly miniseries arrived. Is Red Arrow dead again? Flash is dealing with Eclipso while Mr. Terrific deals with Spectre. The final(ish) issue of the All-In event We Are Yesterday arrived. And we finally got the first of four issues depicting the updated DC history! I’m very excited to get to that. I loved the Marvel miniseries from a few years ago.

The first variant, I got because of the Samurai theme. The other one is dubbed the Farewell Variant Edition, so I thought I might as well get the variant for the final issue.

These are both fantastic covers. The first one depicting THAT moment from the X-Men 97 animated series. And the next is Aka having done a great job on Jubilee. I really like this slightly new character design that she’s been in for a while.

The next two Fantastic Four variants for this last issue of this run. Another Galloway and another Disney variant.

This is the main cover and the Art of Marvel Studios variant. both look great!

Taurin Clarke does such a good job with everything!

I certainly wish more of these variants had Kamala on them, but I’m not complaining about these covers because they are amazing. The main cover I assume is an homage cover. The second has Blink looking amazing via Talavera’s art. And the third one is Artgerm doing Rachel proud!

The next set of Sweet Paprika: Open For Business covers! That fifth one is the polybagged one.

Forbes did such a great job with this cover, I didn’t even see the second person there when I first looked at it. Acuña created a masterful work of art with Carol and Hal. And I love this David Aja cover of Oliver!

This issue had a lot of fantastic covers! The first one I like for Kara being there in that jacket (that the super family doesn’t wear enough in the comics, mainly on the covers). The second is an incentive cover that I had to get for Doomsday. The next one by Marc Aspinall reminded me immediately of Norman Rockwell’s art, and I do love that art. And I just liked the Pride variant! They look great in the suits next to each other.

Spectre. And the second cover is just a great color design and concept for a Mr. Terrific cover.

This is the next Ejikure cover and the Pride cover is in a fun Polaroid style. Though I got it for Dreamer being there.

The many (and expensive) variants for The New History of the DC Universe! The first is part of a Dan Mora set featuring a single hero on each cover. The second and sixth are by Ryan Sook. He’s also doing a set. The next is a blank variant and the next Artgerm of course. The fifth one is Koblish, which is another set of wraparound connecting covers, and I hope they connect this time.

The Sook set seems to be all foil covers, so I thought that showing the non-foil one would be fine. I have an idea for the commission for these blank covers. Artgerm’s cover looks fantastic!

June 2025 Late Issues 2

Most of these issues are from the last month or so. The first one though, is from last year! It’s from one of the cover collections I needed the last issue for. So that’ll show up in the next Completed Collections post. The Phoenix issue is for the character design. Cable is for the double Cable of it all. Werewolf by night is for Gist. That Harley cover is just fun. The Heat Seeker variants are finally here! And as usual, the polybagged one is an NSFW cover. And that Aphra issue is the first of the new run and I just forgot to get two.

Again, NSFW warning for the last image.

June 18, 2025

Terra and Slade are causing trouble. Diana’s foe is Mouseman? We got the next issue of Superman Unlimited. Krypto got a minseries. Sister Sorrow made her debut in the Bring on the Bad Guys issue. Godzilla and the Avengers have a conflict. Doctor Aphra’s new run in this new era of Star Wars started! Psylocke seems to be having a rough time. Emma Frost got a new run! It’s possible that this is the last issue of the Power Man title, but I’m not sure. And Jeff the Land Shark got a new run. Doom’s event continues and Gwenpool continues to have Gwen problems.

Always happy to see Slade on a cover! And Homare did an amazing job with Terra on the next one!

Dan Mora made High-Father look amazing! I love that we got some George Perez tribute covers, I liked this Zatanna one the best. There’s the blank variant for Krypto. And Similar to the James Gunn cover from a bit ago, we got another celebrity cover with Stephen Colbert on it!

For some reason I thought that the main cover was the B cover, hence it’s on the right side. The other two are showing a new character named Sister Sorrow. I really like the character design! And the main cover is there because of Mephisto of course. I think he’s the one making the events of this series of one-shots happen.

Whenever we get crossover covers, we always get some very creative ones. I think all the issues of this get a wrestling match poster style cover. And then the other one is just a nice looking homage cover by Michael Allred.

The Resistance seeing Starkiller base is always a great moment. I loved the way Magneto is breaking the comic itself. and Psylocke looks amazing on this cover!!

So Many Jeff covers! The main one is by Guri Hiru of course. The blank is there, and I think I have a good idea for a commission for it. The Marvel rivals one just looks good. The foil one looks great on the back and front, hence so many photos. Artgerm’s cover is fantastic! And Todd Nauck and Rachelle Rosenberg made a fun cover!

This Vecchio cover of Storm is amazing.

Joshua Cassara and Matt Wilson made a fun dynamic cover! Poor Ben! Leirix created a creepy cover. And Gerald Parel made a nice cover.

Posters! The first one is the main cover for this title. And the other two you’ll recognize from last time when I posted them. Those ones I paid for because I wanted the ones in the tubes since they wouldn’t have the folds. And these were the free ones.

June 11, 2025

SO MANY COMICS. Somehow, the most I’ve gotten at once in years I think. Mostly variants and a lot of issue one’s.

We got a the first issue of a Jason Todd and Batman microseries. Absolute Bane has been revealed. Action comics started a new arc where we see into Clark’s time as Superboy. We got the second issue of this Supergirl run. Trinity got a new run. Marvel Rivals got a title. The next issue of Star Wars dropped where we fight a new enemy. We got a new Silver Surfer run that focused on his apparent impending death. Doom’s event continued. And through that event we got a new run of Runnaways! And I am very happy for that. Spider-Girl got her own title spinning out of Spider-Boy. We got a new run, with a new team, for The New Avengers. Marvel’s Pride issue dropped. And we got the next issue in Kamala’s time-travel adventure.

I couldn’t even fit these three on the bed! This is the aforementioned part 2 of Kamala’s journey through time.

This first cover is by the legendary Dan Jurgens. He’s drawn Superman over the decades and was big in the 90’s drawing the Superman runs. And W. Scott Forbes did an amazing job with the next one. The luminescent effect looks fantastic!

These are the next Supergirl covers. I was going to have the covers in a gallery but I think I’m going to have each the whole run’s covers at the end. Not sure how I’ll arrange them yet. The main cover is fun. The B cover is of course Artgerm’s next for the run. The third is by Saowee, I think it’s been a while since I’ve gotten something from them. I know there was at least one in the collections posts somewhere, that I posted yesterday. And I love this Homare cover.

These are the next Trinity covers. The main cover being the next All-In cover. Dan Mora giving us a nice legacy cover of the three ages of her who appear in the run. And a blank variant.

I just really liked this Batman cover. And Raven looks great as a vampire by Davide Paratore.

Jenny Frison gave such detail on those tentacle tongues! And Mirka Andolfo bringing on a mermaid who’s just having some fun with some heads.

Peach Momoko serving greatness. I love that this version of Psylocke has grown so much, being part of Marvel Rivals is fantastic. Part of this issues even dips back into her Demon Days universe!

The main cover is here just because Palpatine looks creepy and great in it. And I love whenever we get photo covers from the Star Wars movies.

These are the next variants for issue 2 of this new Star Wars run.

I got this variant simply because I liked the look of Luke jumping in front of the explosion. And this anniversary cover is here because Finn holding Luke’s lightsaber was such a great moment that should have led to so many adventures for him as a Jedi. And I rarely get the Star Wars action figure covers but this one I had to because it shows the first Vader action figure I ever got! Hence I took a photo with them both afterwards!

These are the next Ultimate X-Men covers. I love that blue and pink one!

Betsy Cola did a great job with this Magik cover! And Kate looks great in this pride variant! I love this Werneck cover of Phoenix! And Galactus looks foreboding in this Joe Quesada cover!

These are the Runaways variants! I’m happy that there were so many!

I had to have these two next to each other in their own space. A wonderful couple and amazing covers! Ejikure drew Karolina so beautifully! And Hetrick similarly gave us a gorgeous Nico cover!

The Forbes cover with all of them looks so peaceful and colorful. The Momoko one with Nico and Molly is lovely. And the wraparound cover by Elena Casagrande is just full of nostalgia.

Got this for Kamala being back there of course. I’m not sure if this is also an homage cover or not.

Nakayama made a fun dynamic cover for the main cover! And Momoko did the same with her cover!

I was happy to get such a good number of choices for this titles variants. The logo cover is a must. The MCU cover is also. I liked the use of the asterisk on that third one. And the last one is an homage to the first Dark Avengers cover from 2009.

The main cover and one of the variants for this year’s pride issue.

The main cover is Werneck and the second is Vecchio.

Both the variants are fantastic! Both very different but great! I don’t think I’ve gotten a cover from Ivan Talavera in a long time. This is certainly a great one. And the second one by Lee Garbett is fantastic.

June 4, 2025

Anti-Venom and All-New Venom clash! Gwen seems to be in command of whatever is going on in her book. Thor is having a bad time. Laura Kinney got to her 75th-ever issue! Galactus and Ghost Rider got a on-shot! Miles takes a trip into the new Ultimate universe! We got a new run for Marvel Knights! We got a new event starting called Imperial! The next issue of the TMNT/Naruto crossover dropped. The final issue of Fear of the Jedi dropped! The end of the third publishing phase of the High Republic is next! Shaak Ti and Qui-Gon seemingly take on Jango in this issue of Jedi Knights! And we got this year’s DC Pride issue! Happy Pride, y’all!

The next post should be a movie post!

Okay. Gwen looks intense on that cover! That’s it. I liked the creativity of the Daredevil cover! The Ross cover looks amazing! And so does the Storm cover!

Galactus! That’s all.

I didn’t know this was a wraparound cover, it’s minimalist.

Such great covers! Momoko rocked this She-Hulk cover! And the other one is a connecting cover.

These are two variants for this crossover title. I really liked the previous issues variants and continue to enjoy these!

Artgerm did some Heat Seeker covers! There are a couple other variants of these that I need to find.

Love this Pride variant of Mother Koril from Acolyte! Hmm, I vaguely remember a cover of Mother Aniseya in the recent past too, I’ll have to look that up.

Love all these covers for Jedi Knights! The first, third and fourth are continuing the sets from all the issues, and the second one is another of the 10th Anniversary of The Force Awakens covers.

Love these Ivy variants! Tran Nguyen made a gorgeous cover! And then the second one is a connecting Pride cover with a Harley issue.

Love these covers! For the art but also, of course, for Dreamer.

I love that they made a magazine variant for this year’s DC Pride issue! But I certainly had hoped for a lot more variants that we got.

Posters!! It feels like it’s been months since I’ve gotten posters, probably because it has been. The Trinity one is nice. I’m glad there was a mini poster for that Pride cover! And I’m very happy to have these Nakayama covers as posters!
