Covers look great!

This week, I’ll be reading Superman: Space Age #2 first. Anyone who hasn’t checked out the first issue, do yourself a favor and go get it pronto :)

I had such a huge pull list this week I didn’t grab #2. I was on the fence because #1 was really good! Tough decisions! 🤯

Saladin has done a great job with Miles. Will be exciting to see where Miles goes next!

I thought I could have easily limited the answer to one title but there were so many good ones out this week

Top of it would be 8 Billion Genies and DC versus Vampires. Both are at least 4 issues in and still continue to surprise with unexpected twist.

Briar has really piqued my interest, the art looks good and it’s an interesting premise.

p.s. love the covers! Particularly the Dekal and Lotay one’s really knocked it out the park! Can’t wait to see what those lucky founders got!

Those covers are all killer! It's not gonna happen but I think for the first time ever I'd love to own them all!

As for comics this week, I liked the way Saladin Ahmed signed off with Miles Morales and then it's either gonna be House of Slaughter #9 or Stillwater #15 - loving both these books! Also big mention for X-men AND Batman: Beyond the White Knight!

Well, back to my usual comments timing/ranking.

Those covers are looking fantastic. Nice work by everyone :D congratulations on getting the print book scheduled too. That’s awesome.

Comics-wise, I was looking forward to the Variants #4, which happily released today. So i guess I’m off to do some reading.

Love these covers. Peach Momoko just can’t do a bad cover! As far as comics this week, I loved the finale for the first arc of I hate this place. N I still need to read my issues of X-Men and Gambit. So hopefully those will be good!

The covers look awesome! Can’t wait to see them in person!

So many series I’ve been enjoying that are out this week. I’m most looking forward to 8 Billion Genies: it’s funny and crazy, and it made me think that bartender is probably the smartest person on the planet. Right?

I probably would have wished for something dumb before the series started, but now I’m trying to figure out my wish ... just in case.

The bartenders wish in 8 Billion Genies is pure genius -- and exactly the thing to take an cool high-concept idea and make it SUPER intriguing right from the jump.

Sweet, I'll be ordering those Dekal and Momoko covers. Do you know if any of those will be ratio variants or can we order them directly?

THE ANSWER!

I think I'm most excited for the first issue of Briar this week. I hope it's gud.

SOME of them will be ratio variants.

I can't remember for sure but I think Ward, Momoko, and Lotay regular will be 1:10, 1:25, and 1:50? Or something like that. Main cover, Dekal, and Clean Dress Lotay will be open order. I THINK.

Wow!!! The covers are amazing and there is still one you are holding back. Well, just knock me over already! I can't wait.

As for the new comic, well it came out last week but no time to read. I am looking forward to Crashing #1. The concept sounds very promising.

Thank you. Feeling very lucky to have them. <3

Ooh. I haven't heard about Crashing #1 -- I'll look it up -- thanks!

This week is the next Gambit!! I’m super bias, but I really love what Claremont has been able to do (by literally taking me back to the Cajun of my youth)

And Kotian on art!!! He’s so damn good. It has a 90’s vibe, but such a refreshingly modern approach.

Chefs kiss! So can’t wait!!!!!

Also, thanks for sharing! I love how these covers have turned out!

Covers are FANTASTIC! Each in their own way. I like Christian Ward's the best.

X-Men is easily my favorite comic this week... in fact, it's the only comic I'm getting. The main X-title has taken a strange tone of a historical documentary or some weird news broadcast. I like it, and I enjoy the plot, but it just doesn't really involve me like the other titles. I think this is done on purpose, so they can be flexible with the Mothership. Or something.

Woo covers!

I'm looking forward to Old Dog, the next issue of Eight Billion Genies, Briar, and the Judgment Day goodness!

I am so in love with Germain Garcia's work (the artist doing BRIAR) I really hope to work with him someday (and that Christopher Cantwell ain't bad either -- only wrote one of my top 5 TV shows of all time NBD). ;D
