My Latest Pull List – June 4th, 2014

Eight books on my list and unfortunately not much time to talk about them. I worry for what that suggests for my reading time… Have a great week, everyone!

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.

Before Watchmen: Watchmen Babies or Watchmen 2 Electric Boogaloo

So today was the day DC Comics finally got around to announcing their worst kept secret since their line wide relaunch: a prequel to Alan Moore’s Watchmen.

The State of the X-Men – Fall 2010

There was a lot for this X-Men fan to be thankful for this week as all four major X-titles shipped on Wednesday. While in many ways this is great, I can’t help but recognize how much the publishing scheme for these books has changed after they had been coming out weekly for almost all of

How I spent my Summer (Spider-) Vacation 2010

I had the chance to get away over the last few weeks and made a serious effort to avoid anything resembling work. As a result, I managed to read a few comics that have been laying around this place for a while. This was the same plan I attempted last year, but as you’ll see,

Astonishingly late X-Men

This was another week without an issue of X-Men: Second Coming, and while that’s disappointing all such feeling was replaced by shock when I saw Astonishing X-Men #34 was on the shelf yesterday. The latest issue of the often delayed series is the penultimate chapter of the current story arc and the title. The book

Philadelphia Comic Con: Where were the comics?

So most of us at MLD spent this past weekend at the former Wizard World East/Philly… which was renamed this year “the Philadelphia Comic Con.” This was an interesting move on Wizard’s part considering that there was virtually no presence at the event from the comic book establishment.
