Looking at my pull list of 17 comics this week, I have to wonder. Is this sustainable?
Ideally I'd say of course a pull list like this is manageable, but the entire world is running very different from the world we had a year ago today, so I can't make any promises. What I can say is the series' I eventually DO drop from my pull list will be because of their quality first and foremost. I have seventeen comics on my pull list this week, and another beginning of a series I'm debating picking up or not. What's great about getting a bigger pull list every week is that the variety of comics you end up reading is so much more broad and satisfying. This week I have comics of ALL KINDS on my pull list, and I'm pumped to talk about every single one of them. I'm also excited about this week's Representation Spotlights, as we have some truly wonderful examples of representation in the comics industry. I've picked out Far Sector to speak on people of color as comics creators as well as in comics themselves; Horizon Zero Dawn for it's female creative team and female-driven plot; and I'm even doing a small commentary on male bisexuality in our masculinity obsessed society, with Sex Criminals and Deadpool (hell yeah Deadpool is queer!) as comic book examples.

For what feels like the first time in a while, I have a nice, rounded feeling pull list this week. Its 4-and-3 Marvel and DC, plus a chic indie pick. A new series for each of the big two, as well. And that's not even mentioning the final issue of Johnathon Hickman's Powers of X series, which went alongside House of X that finished off beautifully last week. First and last issues makes for an exciting week in comics! Once again, I'll have additional suggestions at the bottom. For now, continue reading for the full weekly report! Congratulations, reader, you made it through last week! I ended up with about 10 pulls, so this week will be a little lighter. I have a much more manageable six issues to read this week, with a few more recommendations at the bottom again if you can't find anything to read. My laptop is being worked on at the computer repair shop as we speak, so while I am still mildly struggling with everything on mobile, I will do my best to keep up with editing and formatting.

New Comics September 11th, 20199/9/2019 In writing out my pull list for the week, it occurs to me how many limited series I read. This week, 4 of the seven titles I'll be picking up are limited. It makes me wonder, is it me liking limited series' or is it publishers putting more of them out? Either way, these are the issues I'll personally be reading this week. It's an exciting week of women-based comics, space adventures, and epic tales. Be sure to stop by your local comic book shop to get this week's books! Continue reading for my full recommendations!
It's another stellar week for comics! I have six titles this time that I'll be picking up, from four different publishers! Finally. It's been pretty much just Marvel/DC these past few weeks as far as what I'm currently reading, which can cause a little "cape burnout". Don't get me wrong, I love all the series' that I'm reading and have no issues with the types of comics Marvel and DC publish. It's just that sometimes I need a little break from books that are all in the same interconnected worlds. There's a fair amount of restriction a creator is forced into when working within an expansive connecting universe like those do. At "Indie" publishers, I feel like creators have a little more room to be truly inventive and original (ex; Saga is a comic that could NEVER exist at either of the Big Two, and we are ever more blessed for it). I love all comics equally, but in my opinion, the more variety, the better! Continue reading for a closer look at what I recommend reading this week!
