My Pull List for Week 6 of 2021
This week I picked up another 10 issues even though I could have easily grabbed more. Future State continues for DC and I throw in Rorschach as well. I grab a couple Marvel with Eternals #2 and of course Wolverine. Then I also selected some new series in Radiant Black, Black Hammer: Visions, and Critical Roll: Vox Machina Origins III so I’m pretty happy with my choices this week and am looking forward to reading them.
New Weekly Releases

Published by Image Comics, 2021.
For fans of INVINCIBLE and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comes a brand-new ONGOING SERIES from acclaimed writer KYLE HIGGINS (Ultraman, C.O.W.L.) and artist MARCELO COSTA that reinvents superheroes for a new generation!
Nathan Burnett has just turned thirty, and things aren’t great: He’s working (and failing) at two jobs, his credit card debt is piling up, and his only move… is moving back home with his parents.
But when Nathan discovers and unlocks the ethereal, cosmic RADIANT, he’s given the power to radically change his fortunes!
There’s just one problem: The powers don’t belong to him. And the COSMIC BEINGS who created them want them back… by any means necessary. - Black Hammer: Visions #1

Patton Oswalt joins artists Dean Kotz and Jason Wordie to explore the life of youthful super heroine Golden Gail on the Black Hammer Farm before the beginning of Black Hammer #1, and her struggle to maintain sanity as a middle-aged woman trapped in the unchanging body of a superpowered grade-schooler. - Future State: Dark Detective #3

These are the progenitors of some of the world’s most iconic folkloric species, and the victims of a broken American promise. Desperate for the council’s assistance, Skinner’s crew becomes a captive audience to their tale of betrayal-but the chilling insight saps all hope of recruiting their help.

Turley believes the Redford people were behind the hit, but the detective investigating the case isn’t so sure.
