Smooth Sailing from Now On, Right? – Wednesday, January 8th, 2025
Back to the New Normal! I’m crossing fingers that everything came in as scheduled, But I’m wondering why DC’s stopped at the letter “D”. There are a normal complement of comics from Marvel and the Other Guys. There is a new Aquaman #1, and a New Champions #1, and and new Fantastic Four #1 (reprint). And then we wait for the Superbowl. I’m busy with a family reunion precipitated by a death. So to get this done only a couple hours late, I’ll stop now.
And only two short weeks until Day One .
Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.
Wednesday is still New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millennium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.
