It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s – Wednesday, June 11th, 2025

According to Google, Superman opens today. Oddly, there is only one Superman facing on the whole rack. I guess they front-loaded them over the last few weeks.

Big week for comics with lots to read and enjoy, over 200, but, jeez, everything has multiple covers, so unless you read all 9 copies of New Avengers #1, which I do not recommend, it’s probably a normal amount of New comics to read.

I’m preoccupied with the downfall of America, so that’s all for today.

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.
