My Pull List for Week 28 of 2021
I grab a whopping 16 issues this week and could have pulled a few more based on titles I’ve read in the recent past. 16 is plenty though. Six of those 16 are new series as well so I figure I’m gonna have to make sure to read them soon so I can tell if I want to continue each.
In any case, here are my selections this week…
