My Pull List for Week 20 of 2021
I have to say there have been some really good comics coming out lately from places other than the big two. Sure, Marvel has Immortal Hulk and DC has all the great Vertigo titles I enjoy but BOOM! Studios, Image, Dark Horse, and IDW are really producing some hits.
Right now, I’m really enjoying The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Stray Dogs, and Cojacaru the Skinner and it seems each week these .publishers are coming out with quality comics. It’s exciting!
