Comic Book Pull List 11/27/2019

DC Batman Beyond #38    Will Batwoman Beyond actually be a new character? I am betting it will be Maxine.  Detective Comics #1016    I am enjoying Mrs. Freeze way too much.  Flash #83 Last God #2    I think this one has the makings of an epic. I also want this as a campaign setting for the world's best roleplaying game.  Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis    Think I should actually read Infinite Crisis first?  Dynamite Bettie Page Unbound #6 Image Criminal #10 Curse Words #25    The last issue? Charles Soule is working hard on Star Wars and Undiscovered Country. I can see it ending here. Question is, will it be a happy ending? East of West #44    Also last arc. Jonathan Hickman is tying this one off to give his love to the X-men. Marvel Avengers #27    We literally got an issue last week. It was phenomenal though. I hope for more 1 million BC Starbrand.  Conan 2099 #1      This is the main reason I am interested in the 2099 series. Fallen Angels #2    I admit I am so v

Boom Once & Future #4 Writer- Kieron Gillen Artist- Dan Mora DC Batman #83 Writer Tom King Artist Mikel Janin Batman Superman #4 Writer Joshua Williamson Artist David Marquez Batman White Knight Presents: Von Freeze #1 Writer Sean Murphy Artist Klaus Janson    How can you not love this world? Green Lantern #85 Facsimile Edition    This is a landmark issue. It confronted Roy Harper being addicted to Heroin.  The Infected: Scarab #1 Writer- Dennis Hopless Artist- Freddie Williams II    I am super excited to see "evil" Jamie Reyes. Justice League #36 Writer Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV Artist- Francis Manapul ** The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage Writer- Jeff Lemire Artist- Bill Sienkiewicz    I may pick this up. I am really torn and undecided. Black Label is the big selling point. I don't have any love or hate for the Question. I have a lack of exposure. Do I really want to change that? Dynamite Chassity #3 Writer- Leah Williams Artist- Daniel Maine Vampirella #

Ablaze  un/sacred #1 Writer/ Artist Mirka Andolfo     I will be honest that I have not looked too much into what this is about. The book has cutesey art. It is written and illustrated by Mirka Andolfo. I don't really need anything else.  Dark Horse Black Hammer/ Justice League #5 Writer- Jeff Lemire Artist- Michael Walsh    I haven't read a single issue because I have not caught up on Black Hammer. I am collecting them on the premise of crossover events are historically fun. Also, Garin raves about this one. It is not published by DC though, Garin.  DC Detective Comics #1015 Writer- Peter J Tomasi Artist- Doug Mahnke & Jamie Mendoza    Mr. and Mrs. Freis. Who knew that Norah was a vicious bitch?  Event Leviathan #6  Writer Brian Michael Bendis Artist Alex Maleev    I expect this to end with long lasting repercussions for the DCU. I strongly suspect that the events here lead to Superman revealing his Clark Kent identity (though I could be wrong) I also cannot wait to see w

Comic Book Reading Priority

Wednesdays really make the week for me. The kid doesn't have school so I get a little more time with her. I have a standing meeting at work that drags me in a little early. This gives me an excuse to leave a little early (when I can) and I try to get home before the little one is in bed. This often doesn't work, but I get excited about the idea. Also, it is new Comic Book Day. As an almost forty year old man new comic books really shouldn't excite me as much as they do. By the standards of adulthood and maturity that the adults of my childhood attempted to install in me I need to,"put away childish things." Thankfully, I am not slave to such draconian ideas. I strongly suspect I will enjoy comic books, role playing games, video games, and cartoons my whole life through. If you have paid attention to my Comic Book Pull List posts or listened to the podcast you know that I am an avid reader. I really do devour stories. I typically finish an audiobook a week. I will

Comic Book Pull List 11/06/2019

This is a very Image heavy week for me. Berserker Unbound will come off this list with issue #4 (although, I would almost expect to see it return) The week feels very much like a 90s antihero celebration with King's Batman, Ghost Rider, Savage Avengers, X-Force, and Vampirella all in the line up. That is no bad thing. Dark Horse Berserker Unbound #4 Writer Jeff Lemire Artist Mike Deodato    The Mogrel King finally faces the Sorcerer that murdered his family. I will be impressed if they tie up the mini series in this issue. Never underestimate Jeff Lemire. DC Batman #82 Writer Tom King Artist Mikel Janin    Only 4 issues remain in Tom King's run. Batman is back in Gotham and headed for a fight with his Father and eventually Bane.  Green Lantern Blackstars #1 Writer Grant Morrison Artist Xermanico    Is Hal undercover for the Guardians? Has Hal switched sides? It is well worth 3 issues to find out. Embrace the Multiverse insanity! Justice League #35 Writer Scott Snyder & Jame
