I finally bought the issue 1 variant from this set! These all look so great together! Issue 1 (MMPR) variant is by Juni Ba. Issue 2 (Zeo) variant is by Chuma Hill. Issue 3 (Turbo) variant is by Danny Earls. Issue 4 (In Space) variant is by Matt Taylor. Issue 5 (Lost Galaxy) variant is by Stefano Simeone. Issue 6 (Lightspeed Rescue) variant is by Nimit Malavia. Issue 7 (Time Force) variant is by Li Cree. Issue 8 (Wild Force) variant is by Colm Griffin. Issue 9 (Ninja Storm) variant is by Crystal Kung. Issue 10 (Dino Thunder) variant is by Jorge Corona. Issue 11 (S.P.D.) variant is by Karen S. Darboe. And, finally issue 12 (Mystic Force) variant is by Simon’s Di Gianfelice.
I really wish that these covers had continued for the last 4 issues of this run. It’s such a weird move to just stop. But, I think Mystic Force was either the last season before production moved to New Zealand or the first or something like that. But it was nice to see these variants each month or so.
I love these variants so much! Taurin Clarke outdid himself with these. Every time one arrived I just kept staring at the cover.
I think when I display these, I’ll have them in this configuration. Though, if they do more of these covers for another run of this title, I have to witch things up. I do wish we’d gotten a Mace cover though. But I really love these covers. The details of the faces are just fantastic. And the colors are brilliant, the slightly different shades of green of the green blades is perfect.
Since the last CVS post, I got the missing issue I needed for those next 5 Phoenix covers! So here’s the next issues after those! Thank you Lucas Werneck!
I love how the fire looks on these, but I very much love the new costume! These are just amazing!
Only one new box this time. So, we’re at 109! Though, since I was so delayed, the next week of new comics is already here, so hopefully I will be on time for the next posts. And perhaps I’ll have to add more boxes next Sunday.
Javier Garrón and Jesus Aburtov did an amazing job on this connecting cover set! AANNDD, this is one of the best connecting sets I’ve had so far. The last comic is a tiny bit misalignment, but other than that a a bit color coordination issues, it’s close to perfect!
The whole image looks so fantastic! I can’t wait to get to this event!
So, since Rebirth Nightwing started doing really creative covers I’ve been loving them. There are 10 covers before Jorge Fornés started doing these kinds of covers too. These have so many different unexpected designs! And I didn’t realize that last week’s issue was the last cover by him specifically. Look at these! I may do a collection post for the 10 covers before these just because. We’ll see. I think I like the second and fourth covers her the best out of these.
I hope he returns to this title at some point! But I also love that I’ve seen him on a couple other titles recently.
Finally! I’m happy to have all the covers in this Nathan Szerdy set! I normally get specific themed covers from his online store directly, but sometimes I see covers I just want asap. These pairs of awesome female heroines are just great!
I love how these all look side-by-side! These would have been a cool connecting variant set! I may actually end up displaying these framed like this at some point.
The next set should have been the main cover of this title, but since I didn’t get other copies of it, that’ll have to wait till the next CVS post.
These are the fantastic Dan Mora variants that also show the legacy of each character on the cover. Now, I do wonder why the picks for the characters on here were made. It feels weird to not have Superman on one of these beyond the background images. But I still love these so much!
I think I like the Diana or Wally covers best. I certainly wish there were more of these!
Okay, so, I always get apprehensive about connecting covers as y’all know. This set wasn’t too bad, mostly overlap and one or two gaps. I think that for some of these wraparound connecting cover sets, they should really be wraparound multi gatefold covers. But also, I just want them to perfect how they print connecting covers, it really is disappointing to see these amazing designs being given a disservice.
Anyway, I love these Scott Koblish and HiFi covers! Seeing all this history on these is fantastic. And seeing some of the characters evolve as the design goes on is great!
Though, in the last cover, I can’t seem to see Dreamer nor Red Canary, but there are a lot of characters and one character does kind of look like Dreamer, but not sure.
The wraparounds
The whole thing! Yes it’s wobbly because I took it via a panoramic.
I actually forgot to post this from day before yesterday. So, I totally forgot that I had a completed set to take photos of and then realized that a day or two after I’d thought that I didn’t have more photos to take.
These are the only covers that were a set in last week’s new comics. Well, it’s not an official set since Luciano Vecchio did a bunch of covers around this time. But I just wanted these two.
It feels weird to end a CVSet post with only two covers, but hopefully this will be closer to the amount of covers I have in these posts so that it’s not a huge bunch each time. But if that happens again and they build up, then I’ll just have to have the larger posts again. But it does feel great to be caught up after 6 months of sorting almost 3 years of variants.
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.
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!
16.6 ish feet of space I had to find! The first halfThe second halfFirst half via panoramaSecond half via panorama
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.
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.
