My Latest Pull List – August 14th, 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.

Nine new books on my list. I’m kind of excited about having them shipped to my remote location this week (i.e. on vacation).

• ASTONISHING X-MEN #65 – I don’t even know how far behind I am on this title. It’s good to see Iceman (Icemen?) in the spotlight though.
• BATMAN #23 – I’m really enjoying Zero Year so far. Last week’s Batman Annual was a decent segue, but it will be good to get back to the main story.
• HALO INITIATION #1 – I’ve spent a lot of time on nearly all-things-Halo over the years, but I never gave the Marvel run of comics much time. For some reason the move to Dark Horse has captured my attention.
• INFINITY #1 – Happy to see this is arriving on Wednesday even though I have no idea what to expect from it.
• JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #7 – DC’s Trinity War continues in the Justice League titles.
• SAGA #13 – It’s nice to see Saga return after a four month hiatus. Unfortunately, it takes a step back to tell us how the protagonists got where we last saw them before we see where things are headed next. The Will also continues to be a standout character in the series’ return.
• UNCANNY X-FORCE #10 – Kris Anka’s cover for this issue is wild. Good thing Puck only has that one old costume to attack him.
• UNCANNY X-MEN #10 – Artist Frazer Irving returns. I prefer Chris Bachalo on this title, but the preview for this issue looks great.
• WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #34 – The Hellfire Saga concludes and I have a stack of digital issues to get caught up on.

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.
