Pull List for August 29, 2018

Hap­py Wednes­day peeps! New com­ic book day is upon us, and as packed as last week was, it’s pret­ty light this week. Here’s what I read last week, and what I’m pick­ing up this week.

What I picked up last week

  • West Coast Avengers #1
    This was such a fun read! I did­n’t know any of these char­ac­ters, but as always, it does­n’t mat­ter when a sto­ry is writ­ten so well. Kel­ly Thomp­son did such a great job. The cast of char­ac­ters is great, the sto­ry was full of humor and wit­ty sar­casm, and the art­work was spectacular.
  • Amaz­ing Spi­der-man #4
    This is prob­a­bly my least favorite issue of the run so far. It was­n’t bad, just not much hap­pened. The meat is at the end when the stakes are raised.
  • Mr. and Mrs. X #2
    Kel­ly Thomp­son killed it again with a great issue! Pret­ty cool action in this one, and the Dead­pool dia­logue was fantastic.
  • X‑men Red #7
    Enjoyed this issue. Tom Tay­lor always writes great dia­logue between the team. I real­ly loved the end­ing with the two page spread.
  • Teen Titans #21
    Drop­ping this title. After two issues, I’m not real­ly feel­ing the char­ac­ters or the sto­ry. At the moment, it’s lack­ing well writ­ten humor.

Favorite of the week: West Coast Avengers #1

Picking up this week

  • X‑23 #3
    Lau­ra and Gab­by are in great hands with Mariko Tama­ki. She’s under­stands these char­ac­ters and is writ­ing them very well so far.
  • Bat­girl #26
    New cre­ative team on this book, so I’m going to give it a try.
