My Pull List for Week 2 of 2021
The second week of 2021 brings with it the 2nd installment of the Future State line of DC Comics and I’m on board to check out a couple more. The Wonder Woman from last week was good so I’m expecting a few good ones this week too.
Other than that, I’m looking at adding 13 comics to my backlog and hopefully I’ll be able to get to reading them soon.
Here they are:
