So, What comics did you buy this week?

[Tom Foolery]

Here’s another batch of assorted back issues. The last time I caught up on Flash and Future State:Gotham was in Feb/March of 2025.

Dark Knights of Steel:Allwinter 6. Finished the mini. Slade escorts Alec back to the winter palace to confront Victor. While Slade teams up with Sir Bruce, Alex uses his powers to restore color to the kingdom and thaw everything. Slade actually gets a happy ending and reunites with his wife and his three children. I think I enjoyed this mini even more than the original DKoS series.

DCU Lazarus Planet Revenge of the Gods 3. I had already read the variant issue. This is the main cover. Story was still weaksauce.

DC vs Vampires All Out War 4. I’m honestly not even sure which ones were vampires and which ones weren’t. Confusing.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol 3. Had already read the variant cover issue. This was the main cover.

Flash 773. Flash vs Heatwave. Had already read it, but this was an alternative cover.

777, 779. Flash ends up on Gemworld with the Justice League Dark fighting Eclipso. His kids sneak out and get teleported to Gemworld to help out their dad. Linda finds out she has super speed powers.

780. Crossover event called War for Earth-3. Johnny Quick steals the cosmic treadmill for Amanda Waller.

781-782. Wally teams up with Kid Flash and they break into Iron Heights prison because the warden is up to some shady shit.

785. Dark Crisis tie in. Barry was one of the Justice Leaguers who “died” but he’s been trapped on a pocket universe world. After Wally and Linda rescue him, they realize the rest of the League is probably also alive.

Future State:Gotham 1-5, 9, 12, 14-17. Filled in the gaps of this Black and white series. Alternate future tale where Jace is Batman in a Magistrate controlled Gotham city. By the end of the series, there are FIVE Batmen running around vying for the title. I’m still missing the final 18th issue.

Green Arrow 3. Ollie and Lian Harper arrive in the 31st century where Connor Hawke and the Legion of Super Heroes welcome them. In the present, Roy and Dinah are interrogating Count Vertigo on what Amanda Waller is planning.

Green Arrow 29. Ollie is solving a mystery about a new villain called Crimson who turns out to be a former mercenary that Ollie trained how to use bow and arrows.

Up next, another batch of back issues to read. Could be anything.
