My Latest Pull List – September 5th, 2012

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

At first glance, I thought I only had two books on my list this week but upon further inspection it turned out to be four. Part of me is determined to get it back down.

AGE OF APOCALYPSE #7 – There’s a good chance I’m not buying this. I fell behind almost immediately on this series and although I’m caught up I’m not sure this is an AoA story I want to read.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #693 – I jumped in with #692 after a long stretch of buying and not reading while hoping in vain to catch up. I’m really not sure what to make of this Alpha story, but regardless I’m most likely ending my collection with #700.
FIRST X-MEN #2 – I’m a sucker for Neal Adams’ X-Men, but this is a story that I can’t get behind. Even though Christos Gage has a history with this type of stuff, the whole thing’s a retcon that’s sure to cause trouble for the backstory of every character involved. I’m only making things worse by buying it.
X-FACTOR #243 – Even though it’s shipping in a light week, this would be my top book no matter what else was on the shelf. Polaris’ history revealed? Come on! I’ve been looking forward to this issue since the moment I heard Peter David mention it.

Check back every week to see what’s on My Latest Pull List and please share your thoughts on these titles and everything you’re reading this week in the comments.
