My Pull List for Week 21 of 2020

Comics are back!

This is the first week where we’ve had a significant number of new issues to sort through and it looks like we’ve got a few that look pretty interesting. It’s definitely nice to have a variety to select from again and while I have been happy for all the issues that have released during this pandemic, I am glad to see the industry starting to get back to their normal publishing schedules.

With that said, this week I grabbed 8 new comics.
