My Latest Pull List – October 10th, 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.

It’s a big Wednesday with ten new books on the list, the start of Marvel Now!, and New York Comic Con this weekend.

• AVENGERS #31 – I’m assuming this is Brian Bendis’ final arc on the series . Did we ever get that Ultron War?
• AVX: CONSEQUENCES #1 – As the distance from Avengers versus X-Men grows, I’m liking the event more and more. It had its share of flaws, but Kieron Gillen’s Uncanny X-Men tie-ins were among the best and I have high hopes for this series.
• BATMAN #13 – DC’s Zero Month is over. The Joker is back. It’s time for the Death of the Family and I haven’t been this interested in a Batman book in a long time.
• FIRST X-MEN #3 – I may end up liking the Neal Adams variant for Uncanny Avengers #1 more than this series by the time it’s over, but for now I’m enjoying it and it hasn’t been the continuity disaster it threatened to be.
• MASSIVE #5 – I’m late to the party on this sci-fi series from Brian Wood, but after seeing Antarctica in the preview for the issue I had to check it out.
• SECRET AVENGERS #32 – I’ve been happy to get back to Rick Remender’s story after the AvX tie-ins on this title, but I’m fearing a rushed wrap up as Marvel Now! rolls out. This issue has a great Art Adams cover.
• TRANSFUSION #1 – A new mini-series from IDW that promises a future overrun by out-of-control machines and monsters, a handful of human survivors, and their fight to regain a normal life. From 30 Days of Night‘s Steve Niles and menton3 of Monocyte.
• UNCANNY AVENGERS #1 There’s a lot of hype as this book users in Marvel Now! but what has me most interested is the X-Men’s  Havok as an Avenger. I’m also a big Rogue fan and with Rick Remender writing this is a must buy for me. Then there are all those variants…
• WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #18 – I give this series a lot of grief for being too silly for my taste at times, but the preview for this issue suggests a more serious tone in the wake of AvX. Jorge Molina art is another plus.
• X-MEN #37 – I need to catch up here, but the last few issues seemed very out of sync with all the AvX business. I don’t want or need every book to tie into Marvel’s major events, but this book involves a lot of characters that had big roles to play.
