I Read Comics!
@ireadcomics.bsky.social
Read a few comics as a kid, but the bug didn’t kick in until avoiding studying for college finals—& there was the spinner rack. Eventually burned out by X-Men crossovers and New 52. Dipped a toe in again a few years ago and am feeling the joy again! 🏳️🌈
It’s the #Jancharactercover challenge!
Day 17: Absolute Universe
While Wonder Woman is my favorite Absolute character, Superman has had the most beautiful covers, particularly this one by Jae Lee.

“If You Could Pick/Choose One Fictional Weapon Or Weapons Whether It's From Videogames, Comicbooks, Anime/Manga, Books, Animated Series And So On Which Weapon Would You Pick/Choose To Have?”
Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth would sure come in handy, but I think would go with the Book of Shadows.

Day 16: Mr. Terrific (J.G. Jones/Lovern Kindzierski)
This is a fantastic cover! Love the circuitry, the spheres, and his pose.

Wonder Woman Black and Gold 2026 Special presents us with four stories.
It seems Tom King can’t resist “torturing” even a little girl like Penny who won an art contest to meet Diana in person. Unfortunately, WW’s delayed by villains and imperiled cats. Fortunately, a “Decent Docent” keeps Penny…

Where Does the Rainbow End? #1 is a quiet, warm story about a baby abandoned in the Cacace Bros landfill. She’s found by Ralph, a gentle robot, who raises her along with other robots in the Rainbow sector of the landfill.
The young girl soon learns to repair her robot friends’ mechanical issues.

Knowing nothing about Knull, I still was drawn in by artist Clayton Crain’s cover.
Surprise—the story by Al Ewing & Tom Waltz offered up one of my early favorite characters: Hela!
The issue had a good summary of Knull’s back story and then launched into Hela’s games. Rising to the occasion, Knull…

Logan: Black, White & Blood #1 contains three excellent pieces!
My favorite was the third, Red Claws, by Larry Hama & Dave Wachter. Logan has just escaped from Weapon X and come across an albino wolf and her cubs being hunted. Not many words at first, but terrific story and art.

January Challenge for #comicskycoverartists!
Day 13: John Timms
He’s an artist whose name I didn’t recognize, but I obviously like his work as his name appeared in my database a LOT!
These DC short story editions are always fun, and I like the playful covers.

Finished this in one day and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be adding the rest of the Omnivore editions to my library as I want to read more about Tony Chu.
It’s a great blend of offbeat story (action/detective/noir/horror) and cool art.

Should catch up on some floppies on this gray, rainy day, but I think I may go for a collection or some manga today.
Perhaps Chew: The Omnivore Edition Volume 1, which I picked up last weekend? I’ve heard good things about it, and the person who checked me out said it was their favorite comic.

Speaking of FOC, DC K.O. Boss Battle #1 is one issue I’ve been waiting for! Samantha from Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees AND Annabelle?
All I can say is, watch out, Joker. You don’t know who you’re dealing with.
I had to order two covers (on purpose this time).

Did not see myself adding a Deadpool solo series to my FOC order.
But then again, I didn’t know that Benjamin Percy would be writing it. So on it goes.
And it’s difficult to resist a Clayton Crain cover.
