My Latest Pull List – February 26th, 2014

Posted by under *like, Comics | Leave a Comment |

Six new books on my list this Wednesday.

  • GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #12 – One of the things I’ve been looking forward to most from The Trial of Jean Grey is seeing artist Sara Pichelli‘s take on the original X-Men. We only got a taste in the last issue of Guardians but there should be a lot more here.
  • HALO ESCALATION #3 – I like the way Dark Horse’s Halo books are fitting into the status quo of the current Halo games. I think a lack of clear connectivity (to me at least) between the comics and the games is part of what kept me away from the Marvel line of books.
  • ORIGIN II #3 – Undecided on whether I like the connections this series is making in Wolverine’s history but I do like Adam Kubert‘s art and I trust Kieron Gillen to deliver something special.
  • SERENITY LEAVES ON THE WIND #2 – Strong start to this series last month. Of all the various Joss Whedon properties that have found new life in print at Dark Horse, this might have the most potential.
  • UNCANNY AVENGERS #17 – I’m enjoying this series but it has reached the point where it feels like the Apocalypse Twins story may be going on too long. Putting all of the mutant members of the team on the shelf hasn’t helped.
  • WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #42 – More than ready for this series to wrap up. I stuck with it through a lot of stories even though it wasn’t what I was looking for most of the time. With the All-New relaunch coming up  next week, it will take a lot from the first issue to keep me coming back.

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.

My Latest Pull List – February 19th, 2014

Posted by under *like, Comics | Leave a Comment |

Seven new books on my list this Wednesday, though I may only bring five of these home with me.

  • AMAZING X-MEN #4 – I have to admit I kind of forget about this title between issues. As much as I appreciate Firestar as part of the cast (offset by irritation at her absence from the New Warriors line up), I may be done with this after the first arc. I stuck with Jason Aaron’s Wolverine and the X-Men longer than I should have and I’m fearing this is heading in the same direction.
  • AVENGERS WORLD #3 – I’m seriously contemplating dropping this series on the spot. Three Avengers titles is pushing it for me and I honestly can’t even tell you what’s happening in this book.
  • CAPTAIN AMERICA #17 – Thinking about picking this up for the appearance of Dr. Mindbubble. I seem to recall him being referenced in Rick Remender‘s Uncanny X-Force. Any feedback from people reading the series is appreciated.
  • JUSTICE LEAGUE #28 – The Forever Evil tie-in issues of Justice League have been decent enough. I’m more invested in Nightwing and Cyborg than the Metal Men, but this could be fun.
  • NEW WARRIORS #1 – I really enjoyed the original series and it’s good to see something similar returning. Chris Yost writing is an added bonus as a fan of his New X-Men/X-Force runs.
  • UNCANNY X-MEN #17 – I sometimes can’t believe how much I’m enjoying Brian Bendis‘ X-Men titles and Chris Bachalo‘s art will move this to the top of my reading list this week.
  • X-MEN #11 – All-New Marvel Now double shipping and a general lack of interest in the current arc has me an issue or two behind on this series.

My Latest Pull List – February 12th, 2014

Big week with ten new books on my list for this Wednesday.

  • ALL-NEW X-FACTOR #3 – I’m already behind on this title. Double shipping can be the worst.
  • ALL-NEW X-MEN #23 – This is my favorite book right now and I’m completely on board with the crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy. Looking forward to see the two teams actually interact.
  • AVENGERS #26 – The words “science war” in the solicit have really captured my attention.
  • BATMAN #28 – Can’t say enough good things about this title. There are times I feel like Zero Year is a let down, but I’m wrong. I just forget what how much I’m enjoying it between issues.
  • SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #27 – I dropped Superior at issue #3. Not entirely sure I’ll end up bringing this home, but the Goblin Nation story starting here is a huge draw.
  • SHE-HULK #1 – Writer Charles Soule is making a name for himself in comics, but his legal background makes him a perfect fit for She-Hulk’s alter-ego Jennifer Walters. 
  • WINTER SOLDIER #1 – I’m not trying all of the All-New Marvel Now titles, but Andrew Robinson’s cover art really caught my eye.
  • WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #41 – I’m more than ready for this to end and I’m just seeing it through to the final issue. I’m loyal to a fault with Marvel’s X-titles, but this is one I should have bailed on a long time ago.
  • X-FORCE #1 – Two X-Force titles may have been a bit much, but the teams coming together here have a ton of potential. Cable and Psylocke alone would get this on my list.
  • X-MEN: LEGACY #24 – The final issue of a title I let myself fall way too far behind on. Looking forward to catching up on what I’ve missed.

My Latest Pull List – February 5th, 2014

Posted by under *like, Comics | Leave a Comment |

Six new books on my list for this Wednesday.

  • FOREVER EVIL #5 – Feels like forever since the last issue of this series with so many titles on my list double-shipping. Looking forward to seeing what’s next for the remaining heroes of the DCU.
  • LAZARUS #6 – This was my favorite new series of 2013. Plausible science fiction, great world building, and enough intrigue to keep me around for the duration.
  • MS. MARVEL #1 – I still miss Carol Danvers as Ms. Marvel, but this definitely looks like it’s worth a shot.
  • NEW AVENGERS #14 – Easily the Avengers book I’m enjoying the most.
  • WOLVERINE #1 – Trying this almost exclusively for Paul Cornell.
  • X-MEN #10 – This book is going to get hit with some shrapnel here. I get Marvel rolling out the All-New Marvel Now banner for their latest crop of new titles. I even get throwing a giant “#1” on the covers of existing titles to pull them into the rebranding and spark interest in a new arc (a #1 on both chapters one and two of a crossover is pushing it when it comes to All-New X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy). Then this book has a giant “#1” on the cover and it’s clearly the middle of an arc. It’s a decent arc, but the point to jump in was three months ago.
