QTP with the cover of the last comic you’ve read. Snip #1 Riccardo Faccini LCSD 2026 Advance Release Variant. Liked the story—variation of the pruning done in the Loki TV show—but was a bit irritated that the “real” #1 had a backup story not in the LCSD copy. So I had to buy that one as well. 😒

My other impulse buy was the Into the Gwenverse Epic Collection with a gorgeous cover by David Nakayama. Haven’t read any of the Gwen series, her being a dimension-hopping college student seems like a fun concept.

There is one described as “Deviant DLX Ed HC Direct Market Exclusive” scheduled for release 11/24/26–just in time for the holidays. I was a bit disappointed that there were publication delays and the final issue didn’t come out until well past Christmas, so I’m hoping this one works out.

It worked from the perspective of that last conversation he had with Kerry. It certainly made things click for me. Doesn’t excuse what happened, but it was good to see how John thought it through.

Appreciated they wrapped up the plot points in case there is no second season but left it open for that second season. Loved that scene with Guy!

I Read Comics! @ireadcomics.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

In what ways didn’t the ending work for you? The various endings satisfied me, except for the bit about the cafe—though I understand it from John’s perspective—& the family reunion after the last phone call with his brothers. Guess he filled them in between the scenes & they let bygones be bygones?
