My Pull List for Week 14 of 2022

Another 8 issues this week and I feel good that I am reducing my over abundance of unread comics. Nottingham looks pretty good and a couple of number ones in Alice Ever After and The Joneses could lead to some interesting stories. I also grabbed a bunch of sophomore issues that carry forward from good number ones last month.

Anyway, here’s what I pulled this week…
