Back to normal posts! There was one Late Issue, but since it’s part of a collection, I decided to just wait to post it.

I think this is a new arc for Selina, I wonder what her sins are. Deathstroke returns in Titans! Bruce and Diana are solving a murder in her comic. Nightwing seems to be on the bad side of the law. The All-In era had its first crossover mini event between the Batman/Superman World’s Finest and Justice League Unlimited titles called We Are Yesterday. I think the story involves bringing past versions of villains and heroes to present day. The Justice League drops by the New Gods. Superman Day was during this week, so we got a Summer of Superman special. Wolverine celebrated it’s 400th issue!!!! Cable is not having a good time in his title. Doom made his own Avengers in a tie-in title Superior Avengers. We got a Venomverse issue. And we got an Action Comics 1 facsimile edition.

Another fun Cho variant, and Sabine Rich did the Selina drawing inside Cho’s design! And this is such a nice InHyuk Lee cover!

Slade is back and is on all these covers. For my Deathstroke collection of course. I’m not sure if this costume is different than his previous one, it’s been a little bit since we last saw him.

I’m not even sure what the character is on this Derrick Chew cover, but she looks great! Jorge Corona and Sarah Stern did a great job on this color-bleed Absolute Flash cover! Nimit Malavia brings us a colorful variant for New Gods. Sweeney Boo crafted a fun Zatanna cover. I had to get this crossover comic because of Darksied. And I always love seeing a David Aja cover!

There were many to choose from for Wolverine’s 400th issue, and these are the covers I liked best. The main cover is so good! And the Samurai themed one by Daniel Warren Johnson is amazing! And of course, I had to get the Sabretooth one by Bengus!

I am still getting over my traumatic time dealing with all the failed connecting covers I took photos of for my completed collections posts, but I am still trusting that this very many-issue connecting cover set by Chris Giarrusso will actually connect properly. I do really like the character designs. And I feel like it’s been a bit since I got a Saowee variant! Everyone looks great on the cover.

I think I’d added this Superior Avengers cover as a double for some other reason, but since I couldn’t remember why, I decided to get the copy just because I love the shades of orange in the background. And this Dan Mora homage variant is just stunning!

The next Creature Commandos issue dropped. This issue of Action Comics has G. Willow Wilson as a writer! We got a new miniseries run for Fire & Ice! Adventure Time got a new comic run! We got the next Alien issue. Gwen and Loki’s adventure continues. This Storm issue celebrates 50 years of Ororo!! Hulk visits Clea? Amazing Spider-Man got a new run started. And the next Jedi Knights issue dropped.

David Nakayama had 3 covers this week! This is the first one!

Great Fire & Ice covers!

Nakayama made this amazing design for Adventure Time! Love the gold foil! He didn’t even know they made other color foil covers!

The next Phoenix covers!

Another Capcom cover, the next Marvel Universe connecting cover. And a great Mack cover! I don’t see variants from him often.

Great covers for Storm of course!

The next Giarrusso cover. And look at this other one! So many hands!

The next Giarrusso cover and the next Meinerding cover!

There were a lot of variants for this issue, of course, and these two are the variants that I wanted.

Such a great wraparound cover! And that other variant I got with Peter on the front looks really good. Like the Spidey suit stands out a lot and I liked it most out of the other variants. And of course the blank variant.

The next covers for Jedi Knights!

A lot is going on in Poison Ivy evidently. We got a new Absolute title with Absolute Green Lantern. Cassie and her mother are in some trouble. Harvey also isn’t having a good time. Major Force appears in The Atom Project. We got the next Secret Six issue. The next issue of the Bad Batch dropped. We got a Marvel Rivals one-shot. Moon Knight has a visit from a bunch of D-listers? The West Coast Avengers are having some friendly-fire trouble. The identity of All-New Venom was revealed! After his crossover with Deadpool, Miles has an adventure with Thor and Hercules. While Wade and Ellie have to deal with Solem. Thor is still dealing with the other set of gods. We got a 10th Anniversary special to celebrate Moon Girl (I don’t know why Kamala didn’t get one last year)!! We got a Dazzler or music-related special. And Riri (Ironheart) got a one-shot! I thought this was a new miniseries and was disappointed when I realized it was a one-shot. I thought they would do a miniseries in prep for her show airing in a couple months.

Love a Rian Gonzales cover! It’s odd when some are incentive covers and some aren’t and they’re still part of the same run. This Ivy cover is by KyuYong Eom, it’s so fantastic! And I love this InHyuk Lee cover!

More Dreamer covers!

The next foil Absolute logo.

More Ellie covers!

Love this Fan Yang cover! I initially thought it was a Sabine Rich.

This is the next Capcom cover I wanted. And this is the first of a very long connecting wraparound cover set by Chris Giarrusso! There are so many I’ll have to line up! I can’t wait!

The next bunch of Ultimate X-Men covers! Mei looks great in that Gurihiru cover!

MEPHISTO COVERS! That is all.

Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur!

Great Riri covers! I still want a Marvel Legends figure for this suit.

Many DWM issues, some variants, and some late issues to read.

Nice DWM cover and it came with a Target book.

Such a great wraparound cover!

I enjoy this Spears incentive cover of Lois holding Lobo. And this Frison cover is great too! I wasn’t sure I wanted this cover because I enjoy the way she draws eyes, but I liked it enough to get it. And I got an edition of the paperback of Kingdom Come since I’d been meaning to get it for a while.

Now, this hasn’t happened in YEARS. There were so many comics this week that I actually had to split the pile between DC (and other publishers) and Marvel. When I started taking photos, I had so few that I could split between DC, Marvel and the others into two photos each week and it was fine. But as time went on, of course that became ridiculous to maintain. This week of comics was like NOPE, have this.

Peacemaker got a spin-off miniseries (not sure if it is connected to the show or just to help promote the show). Harley got a weird one-shot special which I probably won’t read, haha. The Hush event started in Batman. Flash continues to have Eclipso problems. I wonder who Starbreaker is. Power Girl has prehistoric problems. There seems to be two Canaries in Black Canary. JLU brings in some past villains. We got a new Absolute title focusing on its Martian Manhunter. And Sweet Paprika Open for Business dropped its next issue.

Below for he Marvel stuff.

We got the next issue for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. A Deadpool special focusing on many many Deadpools. The next Wolverine Revenge. There seems to have been a death in Matt’s life. I have no idea what’s going on in Hulk’s issue, haha. Gambit seemed to be busy. Laura’s comic’s guest was Bucky. X-Manhunt ended! Infinity Watch continued. Doom Academy continues while Doom’s Division started up. This miniseries focuses on the group Tiger Division. And the rest of the Doom event continued.

The next DSTLRY comic.

This cover is a wraparound but it’s weird because it’s only wraparound for the two inside parts. The main cover part is just a nighttime variant of the main cover of the book. I found that odd. But hey, it’s Jim Lee, it’s fine.

Such a great main cover! I knew I’d be getting two. And another Nakayama cover!

What I totally forgot, was that this was a wraparound cover! It looks great!

The double Harley cover of both artists as they’ve been for the past issues.

The main cover is great, the variants are great, just a lot of greatness!

Dan Mora has been doing an amazing job with these main covers. And Rafael Grassetti did such fantastic cover here!

I don’t normally do this, but since 4 Nakayama covers happened to pop up during the same week, I felt I had to put them all in one gallery. Just look at them! I said this in my post to him on Bluesky, that I’d watch a DC animated series based on his designs. Look at how great those characters are drawn and colored! Or even just a video game like on Harley’s cover based on his designs.

Such great variants! I love Spears take on the famous race between Clark and Barry. I always love seeing Bruce Timm era designs on covers, Shayera and Zatanna look great! And Diana looks amazing in that Frison cover!

Since these and last week’s Frison covers were split between two weeks, I didn’t do one gallery with them all, but, I liked both normal Diana and Absolute Diana next to each other.

I love these foil variants for Absolute Martian Manhunter! The colors look great!

I had to get this variant with Kakashi and Splinter on it.

The next set of covers for Sweet Paprika: Open for Business!

Basically, I got these for Ellie being on both covers. But they’re also fun.

Got this anniversary cover of Leia as depicted in her training scene with Luke. I would t say no to an animated series taking places during the 29 year gap, but we’re getting comics soon in that era. And I love getting more Rian Gonzales covers!

The next Kimono cover and a great Gambit cover by Taurin Clarke

These next two variants as part of their respective sets.

And the last Kimono cover! I have all 19 now! And a classic homage cover of course.

This is just another Momoko cover that wasn’t anything to do with her Kimono set. I love seeing the bike slide from Akira on comic covers! And a fantastic Werneck cover for Rogue.

Psycho Pirate drops by in Titans! DC’s Absolute universe gets a new title on its Flash. Montoya is getting closer to the truth. Challengers of the Unknown run into Hal. We get more from the TVA. Electra continues to deal with Muse. Felicia has plans while she’s with the Avengers. Miles and Wade’s adventure continues. Cable is having problems. X-Manhunt continues. We get the next Ultimate X-Men issue. One world under Doom continues. We got a new issue of New Champions with the previous Champions appearing! And after issue 1 dropped in July of 2023, we FINALLY have issue 2 of Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor from DC’s Black Label!!

The next Cho variant for Catwoman. And this Panosian cover I had a small issue with but I still enjoy it.

You can probably tell from this image of it, but, it looks amazing. And it’s why I added it to my list. But when I looked at it up-close, I noticed that the way that the items in the shop window are drawn, it gives the illusion that, from far away, the jewels and such are very intricate drawings. But when seen up close, they are vague shapes that aren’t detailed at all. As I said before, I still like the cover, but when I added it, I kind of was looking forward to looking at all the intricate drawings of the jewels and such up close since I enjoy when artists draw crazy levels of detail for some scenes or covers. So, it was a little bit of a let-down in that one respect. But I do still enjoy that I can look at the image from afar and still see that illusion, that’s pretty cool.

I really like this main cover for Absolute Flash. The details and colors are just amazing on that main cover. The foils also look great!

I say this a lot, but I sure do love these creative Nightwing covers! Jorge Fornés did a great job with this Polaroids cover! And for The Question variant, I do like seeing corner boxes as covers. And of course I had to get this Zatanna variant by David Nakayama. Such fun! And then these last two are from the wonderful Jenny Frison. I feel like it’s been a while since seeing her covers on the big two publishers, but that balanced out by between these two weeks, her having a total of 5 covers out! The Starfire and Big Barda are two of them.

The third was this Magik cover of course! And this is one of the Momoko Kimono variants.

And another of the Kimono set! All hail Jeff the Land-Shark. That is all.

Such a fantastic time for this variant to come out with Daredevil: Born Again currently airing on Disney+. Peach Momoko did such an amazing job with this Muse cover! It’s an incentive cover, but worth it.

The next lot of Ultimate X-Men covers! I really like that they did a foil variant for one of these. I don’t normally show a close-up of these till a complete covers post, but the foil deserved it.

I mean look at those colors and the art itself! That one image at the bottom just made me immediately want a Peach Momoko animated series based on with her Demon Days run or this Ultimate X-Men run.

Finally! The previous Champions interacting with these new Champions! I don’t think it’s for more than this issue, but I’m still happy to see my favorite team on covers again!

I had initially forgotten that my Champions had an issue interacting with the original Champions team also, so it was just a reminder that I should have expected this to happen. Surprisingly, that chaotic cover is the actual main cover, love it! And I’ve loved Viv Vision from the first page she appeared on, and I loved this most recent costume change from a while ago that’s displayed on this variant. Even though we still don’t have any Viv action figures…>___> And of course, it’s nice to see the previous team on those other two variants. I really do miss that team a lot. Most of that has to do with Kamala, sure, but I also just enjoyed their team dynamic.

Posting a bit late this week

The next SW Insider, three main covers, and three variants. The Miles main cover again is just because it’s a two-title crossover and I usually get two copies of each issue to put them with both title’s runs. All the other comics here are here for their covers.

Loved the main cover for Zatanna 1. I actually hadn’t been planning on getting this Doctor Strange design variant, but seeing it in the store changed my mind. And I just really liked the Rey cover that celebrates a decade since Force Awakens.

Rahzzah is just such an amazing artist. Every time I see a cover, even ones I don’t get, I admire the work. This wraparound cover is just a masterpiece. This image was shared around well-before the issue came out, as always, and I knew I’d be getting multiples of these when they came out. I got three (one when the issue came out and two during this week). I also ordered a couple others of these covers that should be signed, but not sure if my shop will be able to get them. But yeah, I love this cover, and Rahzzah is doing all the main covers of this title. So, I can’t wait to get them all. Also, I’d get a poster of this if I could.

We got a Bruno Manheim story in Action Comics. As it says on the cover of Black Lightning, The Pierce Family strikes back! Something Darkseid this way comes in Aquaman. We got the next issue of Alien. And the next issue of Legacy of Vader dropped. Tony and Victor clash! I wonder why All-New Venom is clashing with MODOK! Miles and Wade cross blades in this penultimate issue of their mini crossover. Doom comes to Peter’s aid? X-Manhunt continued. And we got the next issue of Phoenix.

I got this cover because, well, Darksied Is. And of course the next one of Mera by Jenny Frison was a an obvious choice.

I love these Green Lantern Corps variants! Just everything about them.

I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to get this first cover or not, something about it wanted me to buy it, but I wasn’t sure. when I saw it in person, I was like oh, yeah I certainly will be taking this. The bright yellows and reds are a delight. And this main cover isn’t here because of the cover, it’s because it’s the 300th issue!

Here’s the next kimono variant! And look at Storm on that other one!!

Here’s the next kimono cover and all of these other fantastic Phoenix covers!

We got a Teen Titans GO! title! I’m intrigued by the Poison Ivy cover. A lot seems to be going on with JSA. We got a new title with Secret Six, a group of heroes who are not afraid to bend the rules. Dreamer is on the team and is also one of the co-writers, Nicole Maines debuts this new story. We got the next issue of Knights vs Samurai. I’m not sure where the next issue is coming. We got a new run of Darkwing Duck. The next What If Mickey one-shot. Spider-Boy seems to be having a relaxing time compared to the previous issue. Moon Knight and Tigra are a thing, I don’t think I knew that before now. I can’t wait to get to this Spider-Gwen arc!! It’ll take a long long time, but still! Wanda seems busy on that cover. It seems like Thor wants to have a word with Thanos beyond the grave. During One World under Doom, Doctor Strange has relocated to Asgard with a new run. We got a new Spider-verse one-shot. The six-part X-Men event spanning all titles is X-Manhunt where everyone is searching for Xavier. We got a new Star Wars title called Jedi Knights focusing on the main council members and some knights that takes place some time before Phantom Menace. And then the next issue of The Missionary dropped.

Here’s the next issue of The Missionary with a great cover!

I guess I forgot to take the photo with both of them. But both covers are so great! Love getting Rian Gonzales covers when they’re not incentive covers. And I love this Frison cover with Dinah’s canary cry. Also, this week has more Frison’s covers than I’ve had in one week!

The main cover is of course one of the All In covers. the other two I do like the style of, but I got them more because Dreamer is on the covers. These will be in her character covers collection. The one with the mugshots in the background is by Brad Walker and Trish Mulvihill. And the last one is by Leirix.

Look at that Frison cover of Vampirella! There is a virgin variant coming at some point. This next disney avengers cover is by the legendary Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding. And this is even more cool because I’ve met them both as of last Fall. If I get to meet them again, I intend on getting it signed by them both. I love this Thor variant because of the glow effect and the reflection in the axe. And the Doctor Strange cover looks great!

Dauterman continues to do such a fantastic job on these main covers! Peach Momoko has a collection starting this week that are portraying characters in kimonos. Here’s one of the first! These two weeks got me 8/19 of them. I don’t know why it was decided to be 19 and not 20 or something, haha.

This main cover for this issue is here only because Ms. Marvel is on the bottom left. this Momoko cover is so lovely!

Y’all know I love when Kamala pops up on a variant, so when I get multiple covers with her on them, I’m very happy. Kamala looks so amazing on this kimono cover. I love the other seven I got this week, but I just really love this cover. And this other variant is part of a mugshot line-up collection for X-characters across all X-titles, but I won’t be getting many of them just because there relate too many! Though they are all by Phil Noto, and they all look great!

I love this Taurin Clarke cover of Adi Gallia! I can’t wait for the rest of these covers! And this Ahsoka cover by Yasmine Putri is so dynamic!

A great Andolfo variant!

Some late issues, the next DWM issues from months ago, a volume that came out a few months ago, and a bundle of variants that I ordered months ago.

Such a great Werneck cover for Storm! And Dan Mora has been doing a great job on these Power Ranger Prime covers. I wanted another of this one because I really like that particular Red Ranger from Power Rangers Samurai. And the last is a great Jonboy cover for Daredevil as Human Torch.

These are variants of volume 2 of Un/Sacred by Mirka Andolfo from 2020. I thoughts I had all the covers from that run, but I may have started to get all covers from her only with Sweet Paprika. But these are from a bundle offered by Ablaze. I’ll have to check and see if I did get any of these back then. When I preordered this bundle, I thought they’d be a bundle of new variants for the issues, but they’re all cover B’s, C’s and one D. Still nice to get.
