My Pull List for Week 33 of 2021
This week we see the end of a great series…Ascender. It was actually tied in to Descender which was a good coming itself but now it looks like the story is finally coming to a close which is kinda cool but also kind sad. I’m looking forward to rereading the whole thing together and seeing if I get a different perspective now that the whole story is out there.
We also get a couple of new series to start off and a couple of story arcs are coming to a close. On the whole, it’s a pretty exciting week.
Anyway, here are the issues I pulled this week…
