My Latest Pull List – June 5th, 2013

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.

I’m very excited about the books on my list this week. For the first time in a long time, I’m caught up on everything that’s shipping and enjoying the stories in each title.

• AGE OF ULTRON #9 – I hate to immediately retract what I just wrote, but I’m not totally into this series and haven’t been at any point. Brain Bendis‘ alternate universe/time-travel story isn’t for me, but one Wolverine stabbing another Wolverine on the cover means potentially one less Wolverine and I’ll take it.
• ALL NEW X-MEN #12 – I’m thoroughly enjoying this series from Bendis and with an appearance by Havok and the Uncanny Avengers it will be the first book I read this week. The preview suggests it’s going to hit all the right notes once again. I’m thinking the cover showing the older/younger and younger/older Summers brothers locked in battle is deliberately misleading.
• AVENGERS #13 – I’m always intrigued when the High Evolutionary shows up, and an appearance fits right in with Jonathan Hickman‘s story for this series. Mike Deodato art is a nice plus.
• CABLE AND X-FORCE #9 – Another appearance by the Uncanny Avengers and the cover suggests a big part for Hope Summers as well. I’m enjoying this series more as it’s progressing and another encounter between Cable and Havok is welcome.
• X-FACTOR #257 – I just got caught up on the Hell on Earth War over the weekend and I’m looking forward to what The End of X-Factor has in store. The covers for the upcoming issues have some great stuff going on as Peter David closes out the series.

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.
