My Pull List for Week 5 of 2021
This week has some really cool new releases and I’m looking forward to diving into them. There’s another Future State: Wonder Woman to explore and Rick and Morty have another issue out. Canto finishes off his second story arc and the High Republic continues to give us a glimpse of a galaxy where the Jedi are finally the peacekeepers rather than warriors. I picked 10 comics for the week but I could have easily selected more to pull.
