My Pull List for Week 32 of 2021
Twelve new conics this week and I could, of course, have chosen more. Only 2 new titles but the King Shark Suicide Squad issue should be cool if it’s anything like the movie and the The Unbelievable Unteens issue is a spinoff of the Black Hammer universe which I’ve enjoyed quite a bit so far.
Anyway, here are the issues I pulled this week…
