My Latest Pull List – March 26th, 2014

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

Lots of books shipping this week, eleven found their way onto my list for Wednesday.

  • ALL-NEW GHOST RIDER #1 – Definitely worth a look.
  • ALL-NEW X-FACTOR #5 – All-New Marvel Now double-shipping has me way behind on this one.
  • AMAZING X-MEN #5 – This series has been decent enough. The inclusion of Firestar is a big plus, but I’m really just waiting for Kyle and Yost to take over.
  • AVENGERS #27 – I think I missed an issue here. It’s around here somewhere.
  • GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #13 – Despite a few questions about the premise of this story, I am truly enjoying The Trial of Jean Grey. This will be the first book I read this week.
  • NEW AVENGERS #16 – I know I’ve missed an issue of this one, but it’s waiting on the desk right in front of me.
  • ORIGIN II #4 – Immediately fell behind on this as I seem to with most miniseries. I’ll likely wait to read it from start to finish once it’s all published.
  • SANDMAN OVERTURE #2 – Strongly considering waiting for the trade on this given the extended shipping schedule, but it will be hard to leave the store without a copy of issue #2.
  • SERENITY LEAVES ON THE WIND #3 – I did not stick with continuing adventures of Buffy or Angel, but this is something I could see myself reading for the long haul.
  • SILVER SURFER #1 – This could be a strong contender for “Pull of the Week.” Look out, Hawkeye.
  • UNCANNY AVENGERS #18 – Much like the recent All-New Marvel Now issue of Brian Wood’s X-Men, I’m not sure why this issue that’s clearly in the midst of an ongoing story arc gets a giant “#1” on the cover. It’s by no means a bad story and I’m looking forward to reading it, but it’s hard to envision it as a start to anything.

My Latest Pull List – March 19th, 2014

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

Six new books again this Wednesday.

  • LAZARUS #7 – I can’t wait for this book each month.
  • NEW AVENGERS #15 – This is still my favorite of Hickman’s Avengers title.
  • SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #6 – I actually dropped this book from my pull list after issue #2 and then regretted it after seeing the flashback sequences in #5 and had to jump back in.
  • UNCANNY X-MEN #19 – This series is solid each month and I’m looking forward to seeing what the All-New Marvel Now rebranding has in store.
  • WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #2 – Keeping this on my list for the first arc. And then forever. Because I don’t drop books.
  • X-MEN #12 – Still a few issues behind on this one.

My Latest Pull List – March 12th, 2014

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

Pretty typical list this week with six new books for Wednesday.

  • ALL-NEW X-FACTOR #4 – I’m already behind on this series as a result of the All-New Marvel Now double shipping schedule, but Peter David’s X-Factor is always going to be on my list.
  • ALL-NEW X-MEN #24 – The Trial of Jean Grey continues. I’m enjoying this crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy and Brian Bendis is providing some great moments. Unfortunately I can’t quite get past the questions I have about how Corsair is back and why the Shi’Ar would go after Jean now. It would help if Gladiator (or anyone else) would justify that Jean’s return is an issue because of Phoenix activity during AvX or Battle of the Atom or really anything else.
  • BATMAN #29 – It’s not that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy the Batman Eternal preview last month, but I’m certainly looking forward to the next chapter of Zero Year. I don’t know if I can commit to a weekly Batman Eternal book, but I’ll continue with Snyder and Capullo’s Batman monthly as long as they’re on it.
  • CAPTAIN MARVEL #1 – The last Captain Marvel relaunch just missed the start of the Marvel Now wave. Hopefully an All-New Marvel Now relaunch allows it go for a decent run. Kelly Sue DeConnick’s writing is right where it needs to be and David Lopez is a solid regular artist.
  • X-FORCE #2 – Still not sure about this latest X-Force relaunch but the first issue was an interesting start. The dynamic between Cable and Psylocke has a lot of appeal, but what happened to Hope?!
  • X-MEN LEGACY #300 – I’m way behind on the Legion-fronted volume of this book, but I won’t let that stop me from jumping right into this. Mike Carey alone makes this a must buy.

My Latest Pull List – March 5th, 2014

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

Seven new books on my list this Wednesday and five of them are first issues Dark Horse, Image, and the “All-New Marvel Now” line.

  • FOREVER EVIL #6 – Feels like a long time since issue #5 and with Justice League moving away from the Owlman/Nightwing story in recent issues I find myself very anxious for what comes next. The cover and solicit suggest it’s nothing good.
  • MAGNETO #1 – I’m thoroughly enjoying Brian Bendis’ X-Men books, but I’m not sure Magneto (or Cyclops for that matter) needs a solo series at the moment. I haven’t read much of Cullen Bunn’s work but I do recall enjoying Gabriel Hernandez Walta‘s art during Age of X and Curse of the Mutants. This is definitely worth a look.
  • MOOK KNIGHT #1 – I overlooked the “All-New” Moon Knight when I first saw Marvel’s latest wave of new titles until someone pointed it out as a possible reddit/r/rcomicbooks “Pull of the Week” for early 2014. I like the character and the creative team of Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey, and I want this to be great.
  • STARLIGHT #1 – Just noticed this on the shipping schedule on Monday and while I’m not the biggest Mark Millar fan it deserves a look.
  • UNCANNY X-MEN #18 – I don’t know anything about artist Marco Rudy but the cover to this issue is pretty great. The interiors shown in the preview pages suggest a unique style.
  • VEIL #1 – I’m enjoying Greg Rucka‘s Lazarus series to the point where I cannot pass up another new title with him at the helm.
  • WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #1 – When it was all said and done, I found myself disappointed with Jason Aaron’s previous volume of this series. There are only a handful of issues I genuinely enjoyed as things usually ran a bit too silly for my tastes. I regularly read all of the X-titles, but it’s going to take a lot from Jason Latour and Mahmud Asrar’s first issue to keep me coming back.
