My Pull List for Week 19 of 2021
Seven different publishers are represented this week in my pull list and I’m feeling pretty good about that. I didn’t even pull a Marvel comic so could easily had 8 or more. And now that I look at all the titles I passed up this week I see there were plenty of other comics I could have picked up to read. Fortunately, I restrained myself from spending too much. I figure that if I find a later issue I really like, I can always go back and fill in the gaps.
In any case, Canto is still going strong and I really love this little guy, Rorschach has always been one of my favorite characters, and the new entry this week – Time Before Time – looks like a really cool time traveling story so I’m excited to sit down and dive into these new issues.
