I DON’T want to belabor the TACO meme, but… – Wednesday, April 8th, 2026
It seems we have stepped back from the brink, but just for 2 weeks. The number of War Crimes remains at its current level for the moment. But set your calendar for April 21st for the next deadline. Hope all the ceasefires hold.
Moderate week, these days, with “only” 179 facings. The only Absolute is Green Lantern (plus some reprints) – everything else is relative. Superman has TWO facsimiles out today. Spider-Man is Amazing, and there is a new biological concept, a Web of Venom. Image is a little on the light side, but everyone else came to play. I’ve got tons to do, and will now do it.
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, for at least one more week. 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.
