This set is just gorgeous. That’s because Rahzzah is the cover artist.

The wraparound!

The whole set!

Speaking of gorgeous sets, here’s another! This set, of course, by Jenny Frison. this was in celebration of International Women’s Day. I think my first Frison covers were of Diana, so it’s always nice to see her draw Diana again.

Another lovely Momoko set! And another set where I thought there was more than three covers. Since Tiger Division has a larger group, I thought it would be a cover for each character.

Various artists helped bring about the Summer of Superman in celebration of the movie having been released in July. These covers show various characters dressed in versions of Superman’s costume in their own style. I thought it was each character having his powers, but they all seem to have their own powers on all the covers.

The final set of this big sorting catch-up! A wonderful InHyuk Lee pair!

Now, this is the end of the big catch-up. But since I was delayed, I have one more set to post about. From now on (unless I fall behind again), when I get new weeks of comics, I will sort them on the Sunday (or so) flyer I get them. And thus, any sets that complete during that time will be posted as a Completed Variant Sets post instead of these huge posts.

These main covers were all in polybags, so it was nice to actually see the covers! E.M. Gist is such a great artist! the first cover is actually a variant of the first issue, but I think I saw that variant before I saw the main cover. I always like it the best out of this set.

The set.

This next set is by Mark Brooks. Before this set, actually no, he did a cover in this style before this, so before that, I only knew Brooks signature style and when I first saw the animated style, I had to make sure it was the same artist. I love this Classic Disney Animation art style!! I would watch an animated show in this style.

They look so great together!

Speaking of Mark Brooks differing styles, this set is also from him. It’s in an adventure movie poster style.

These mystery novel style covers are fantastic! These are by Jorge Fornés.

It looks like a novel set.

And now for the connecting variants! These were failures also, but not so bad as the past. Most connected decently but had to overlap or were misaligned in order to do so. I think there was one or two that actually had the whole art connecting properly even if misaligned.

Oh, and this post includes the most insane connecting set so far (not because of not lining up, that Captain Marvel and X-Men set still hold that award).

This set was actually finished in august, but for some reason I thought there were more covers. Nope, just these four.

These were all overlapping, and the images didn’t always line up. But, Mico Suayan did a great job crafting this scene for these covers!

Another fantastic Koblish set! And these ones were wraparounds too. So at least some parts of the image were fine.

And another frustrating bunch of misalignments or missing images. There were a couple overlaps though. I’m not quite sure about the space between the first and second issue though. Some parts seem like they line up once next to each other, and some seem like they need the gap to account for the missing parts of the design. If he ever posts a full image of this, I’d like to see what that part looks like. I would buy long posters of all Koblish’s art of this style.

Okay. This next connecting set is insane. The theme is the Marvel Universe, so just a lot of characters on the covers. These covers are by Chris Giarrusso. 15 issues. But they’re also wraparound. So I had to find space for essentially 30 comic covers to line up next to each other. I took a wide blurry shot, I took two panoramas, I took a bad time-lapse video where I moved slowly but not slow enough it seems. It was a lot. And the images either overlapped or were misaligned, but I do love this piece.

Ah. I forgot to take the individual photos of the comics. Drat. I’ll go take those 45 photos now…

Done! So instead of what I did with the set above, each issue getting two photos and then a wraparound photo after each issue, I’m going to have all 30 images in this next Gallery post, and then all the wraparound images in 15 Image posts afterwards.

And here are all the Images.

I guess I got overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to take the photos of them all together that I forgot about the individual covers. Whoops! But yes, look at all the crazy!

The time-lapse. this was my second attempt, as my first attempt had me moving too fast. I could have tried again, but I didn’t want to be crouched like that continuously for a long time since I had a lot more photos to take during that day.

I decided that they all looked cool from this next view on both ends.

The next set is a connecting grid which is always great. These are by Cliff Chiang.

This was one of the better connecting designs. There was a bit of misalignment, but other than a couple instances of that, it mostly worked out well!

This next set is a vertical connecting set by Nicoletta Baldari!!

It looks great! Though this image is a bit unfocused because I think my light was dimming.

This final connecting set are actually two sets, one foil and one non-foil. They’re by Guillem March! Another great connecting set by this artist.

And the full set. Such fun! These, and the foils, had a little bit of overlap.

And the foils.

Full image.

Next posts are the normal sets.

So this will be a little different. Instead of starting with connecting covers I’m doing these two sets. The first set was from last time where I thought I had all the covers but didn’t till after I took the photos. Then this time i took new photos after I got the missing issue in the mail. The next post will be the connecting cover sets.

It’s nice to have the Battle of Jakku set completed! I still have a long way to go to get to read this bunch, but that’s just how it is.

These all look so great together! I’m excited to get to this story because the only things I’ve known about the Battle of Jakku have been from watching the Sequel trilogy, me reading the Aftermath trilogy, Fallen Stars, some mentions in other comics, and some stuff in video games. Seeing this battle from the main Star Wars trio’s POV is something I’ve been waiting years for. And of course, Phil Noto, Taurin Clarke and E.M. Gist all did amazing jobs on all three sets of these covers respectively!!!

This set I’ve had completed since March, but since I hadn’t gotten to these boxes yet, I had them sorted separately because I wanted them to stay flat. Peach Momoko did a kimono set with various character dressed in them.

They all look so amazing! Of course, I love the Kamala one, but they all amaze me whenever I look at them. Peach has a way of differentiating styles she draws and seeing some of them next to each other is intriguing. I love all her styles, the character ones and the background ones.

These are all new variant sets that I had the whole set of during this sorting.

These are The Thing! themed by various artists. Again, I’ll name them in the caption of each photo.

This was a fun and creative set! I liked that it wasn’t Ben Grimm being different heroes, but each hero having his Thing powers.

And here are David Nakayama’s Artist Spotlight covers! They’re amazing!!

Finally seeing them all together in-person is wonderful!

These funtastic wraparound covers are by the wonderful Humberto Ramos! Who, I now can say that I’ve met! See my second SDCC post from the last day.

Love how these look next to each other! I’d love to see more covers with the other symbiotes!

These are by n artist whom I followed online first and then saw art of as he got noticed. Jake Bartok did his own Star Wars art online for years and at some point he was noticed and hired to do these covers as-well-as some official High Republic concept art.

It’s great to see his worn on actual comics!

Another cool set by local-to-DC Kenya Danino!! I love seeing her pop up on comics too! She’s also an artist I followed online first. Her first set was Gargoyles: Dark Ages.

I like how they’re all so different.

Last but not least for this set of posts, Mirka Andolfo’s set of Madame Webb variants featuring both Madame Webs!

I have to say, I love these covers more than the movie, haha. For those many thoughts, see my movie post for that movie. I felt like ending on a fun note and arranging these in a vague spider shape.

It’s been a crazy two weeks dealing with all the delays from the small flood. I’m glad to have actually finished this!! I would have already started sorting the last 6 boxes (24 weeks) of variants, but as I said in the first post, I don’t have any more of those small boxes yet. I did order some, so hopefully they arrive in good time and aren’t damaged or something. I hope to have finally caught up with complete variant cover posts within the month. Fingers crossed!

The added covers of this post were from sets that I had one or two covers left to add from after June’s sorting. So they were among the first to be completed this time.

Alex Ross! He did an amazing job on this run of Doctor Strange. Every cover was spectacular!

For this set last time, I was just missing another copy of the first issue. 18 covers that looked like paintings. They look amazing side-by-side!

For this set last time, I was just missing a copy of the first issue’s variant. These are a book cover themed set by Declan Shalvey!

They look wonderful together!

These Negative Space variants are by Alessandro Ranaldi! These were a fun throwback!

I do love how they look together, though I would have liked perhaps Hades and also Pain & Panic to have the last two covers respectively. But perhaps if we get another run of this there will be more of these variants.

These are the amazing Nicola Scott and Annette Kwok’s costume themed variants!! I love how much detail is in all the costumes throughout the years.

These remind me of Dauterman’s costume covers. You know how I love those too! I certainly should have brought all these to the other room for more light, but it was darker outside by the time I took these photos.

This post will include mostly similarly-themed variants.

2023 was Disney’s Centennial! And thus, we got the Disney 100 Marvel What If mashup covers! These were so fun to get! They all depicted homages to famous covers from Marvel’s history using Disney’s Mickey and his friends. These were all either Lorenzo Pastrovicchio or Giada Pastrovicchio variants for Amazing Spider-Man.

I could go through all the covers being paid homage to, but I won’t because I feel like most comic fans would know which covers these are representing. They do all look great together.

And in 2024, it was X-Men’s 60th Anniversary! So they continued the crossover cover theme through specific X-Men covers. Still variants for Amazing Spider-Man.

Another great set!

And guess what? It was also The Avengers 60th Anniversary in 2024. So, most of the alternating covers for the previously mentioned Amazing Spider-Man variants were these covers.

And of course these were homage covers for various classic Avengers comics.

This next sets’ covers were in the art style of animation. These all showed the villains of each particular hero. The wonderful Dave Bardin did all these.

Now, I’m not 100% sure that these are all the covers because when I tried looking a list up, I didn’t find any lists nor did I find any full sets on sale anywhere. So, if next variant sorting time, I find another, I’ll add it and do another photo. These all look great!

23 covers! This is the Marvel ‘97 cartoon themed set by various artists. For each photo of them I’ve added the artist in the caption.

Such a fun set! I love the all the styles while still fitting into the 90’s cartoon theme.

This will be 4 posts for these complete sets. the first three posts are all of sets that I’d mostly collected during the sorting back in June and I needed 1-3 more covers to finish. The last post will be sets that are new.

These two first sets were ones where I thought I had all the covers of the set, but I was either wrong or just forgot about.

This Momoko set you’ll recognize from a previous collection post. For this set, this Peter Parker cover came out months after the other issues. So it’s not a set within a title, but it’s obviously the same style. They all look so good!! I’d love to see more Spider-characters in this design style.

The same story with this J. Scott Campbell cover! I thought it was a four-issue set, but nope, it’s five…though, I hope I’m not forgetting another one. Well, we’ll see next time.

And of course, they all look amazing together.

Jenny Frison! I’ve been waiting to see this set together for three years! And it did not fail to astonish. This also made me excited to eventually get to a huge box of so many variants from when I first started collecting since that has a bunch more covers from Frison as-well-as a few others of my favorites. That was before I’d used the small boxes, so they were all in a huge box. One day during the early pandemic i sat down and sorted out all the variants that I wanted in their own place and the just cool cover variants. So I have that huge box with a bunch more to be sorted. But I wanted to catch up with present day variants before I tackle that box.

Look at this set!! I purposefully had the light above since the covers at the top wanted more light. And I just didn’t want to do another photos with the light coming from below. I love Jenny Frison’s art!!

The rest of the sets for this post are all Nakayama covers!

This was his cover run of Catwoman from 51-68 with him being the main cover artist.

They all have such different tones from each other! Such a great set!

And then of course we have David’s Poison Ivy main (mostly) cover set! I love the greens and oranges! I included that connecting set image again even though I had it in the previous posts from June.

I arranged these specifically. The top one was Nakayama’s first cover for this run, though it was a variant, with Spawn! And then over a dozen issues later, he was brought in to do the main covers! That was 8 issues of his amazing art! Three of which were of course that brilliant connecting cover art. Then one last main cover for this run. And finally, he was chosen for an Artist Spotlight set of six variants for different titles. Those will all be together in a layer post.

I’m going to pause writing these so I can watch the first episode of Peacemaker season 2! Then I’ll come back to get the last couple posts done.

As usual, connecting variants first! And this will probably be 3 posts like last time but it may be more, I’m not sure yet.

These sets were similar to June’s sets, not as bad but still none that really connected as they should. Most of the faults were overlaps or misalignments.

There are a lot of these two-issue sets from Sean Galloway this time! I thought these would be all sets when they first appeared, but there are a lot that are on their own. So, I probably will have to make a post with all the ones I’ve not taken photos of and also have one like that for the Windowshades covers.

These are fun covers. There was a bit of misalignment and obviously the colors are not matched up at all. But I still like this image of Marvel’s First Family having fun while some villain is trying to get their attention.

I love Mark Spears’ covers! Probably for similar reasons to why we all love Alex Ross’s art. The realism is so well-done! I would love something like this from him but with as many Lanterns on it as he could fit. Perhaps one set for each Lantern ring or one with all of them.

This one was I think a little bit of an overlap. Though only by a sliver of page. A lot of the overlaps were really just the card cover not reaching the edge of the rest of the book so there’s that sliver of pages on the right side. As I’ve said before, you’d think they would have figured out all these connecting cover problems by now, in 2025.

Here’s another Galloway set! this was during the Blood Hunt event.

This was both misaligned and overlapped. But still a fun and busy cover!

A 12-issue connecting cover grid!! This was an interesting set indeed. I do love the line-work and the colors! Bravo to John Timms!

This set had some parts overlapping and other parts misaligned. So I did my best to make sure that the vertical connections worked. Now, I will say that for a connecting set, usually there’s one background connecting image and then the characters are mostly in the foreground, and this whole image seemed all over the place. When I first saw the set in the previews, I wasn’t 100% sure I was even looking at a connecting set.

Having said all that, I do love that this image feels like it’s storyboard for a big comicbook movie event! There’s so much going on that you want to look at every inch of it to find something you hadn’t noticed before. And as I said, the art itself is amazing! There are two photos because I wanted to get the light on both ends but with the angles I had to work with, I couldn’t make it work. Hence, after this, sets with 12 or more, had photos take elsewhere.

Here’s a Galloway set of 4!

Such a fun set! If only there wasn’t a gap between those first two issues, not the color matches between covers being non-existent, nor the overlap issues. But other than the problems, the image itself is so great! A lot going on and all the characters are front-and-center!

This artist is a name and art that I recognized from a recent connecting cover set. Chris Giarrusso did a great job with this homage set to that classic X-Men Jim Lee cover!

This is another set that I really wanted to connect well! This one was both misalignments and overlaps. Though those last two issues look really good next to each other. It’s still such a fantastic image!

More Mark Spears! This time with the Super-Family!

Such a great image! This one was an overlap. I’ll have to think about where to put these within my set boxes. The family looks great! And the villains look great too!

This next set is by Josemaria Casanovas. Since Peach Momoko’s Ultimate X-Men run started, I’ve been wondering what those characters would look like in normal Ultimates art styles, since Momoko’s style is so unique. Seeing all these characters in one image was great!

The first and third through sixth issues all had the overlap problem. But the second issue somehow was printed and cut at a slight angle? Very odd indeed. But the whole image does look pretty great.

These are both the main covers for these issues by Dan Panosian. I really like this image!

This was an overlap via the sliver of page. But other than that, everything else looks great!

And that’s the end of the connecting covers for this sorting. Well, I will have a couple more in the next couple parts of the complete sets posts, but I felt they better suited those posts, or also, I’d already covered them.
