My Latest Pull List – October 2nd, 2013

Five new books on my list this Wednesday. It’s a relatively small week, but some of my favorite books are shipping and there’s a fairly even publisher distribution.

• ALL-NEW X-MEN #17 – A Battle of the Atom tie-in. The first half of this crossover hit a lot of high spots for me. I’m really looking forward to where the latest twist is heading as past, present, and future X-Men discover that everything and everyone aren’t quite what they seem. Also, Stuart Immonen’s variant cover for the issue has really caught my eye.
• ALL-NEW X-MEN SPECIAL #1 – The beginning of a crossover with Indestructible Hulk and Superior Spider-Man. Seeing this on the shipping list took me a bit by surprise but I’ll give it a shot. I couldn’t find any info on the creative team but it would take a lot to turn me away from anything associated with All-New.
• DOCTOR WHO: PRISONERS OF TIME #9 – I’m watching the BBC America Doctor Who Revisited special dedicated to the Ninth Doctor as I write this, and I have an advance copy of the issue waiting in the wings. I’m hoping to get more on the villain that’s been attacking the various incarnations of the Doctor and his companions here, but an untold adventure with Doctor #9 is welcome in any context.
• FOREVER EVIL #2 – I wasn’t sure about this series after the first issue, but in a small week I’m willing to go back for more. I didn’t read a lot of DC’s Villains Month but I’ve heard some things about the Secret Society special that I’m hoping to see followed up here.
• LAZARUS #4 – This is the best new book I’ve read in a long time. It’s toss up if I’ll start my reading with this or the next part of Battle of the Atom.

Weekly comic books are a big part of my life and I regularly post what I’ll be picking up each Wednesday along with cover artwork and previews courtesy of Comixology’s Pull List app.
