The Pull List: Week of September 9th, 2010

Sure it might be a tad late what with Labour Day going down this week but nevertheless this week’s Pull List has arrived with all the latest comics from all the major publishers including Marvel, DC, IDW, Image and more. Be advised that this week’s books have been pushed back to Thursday, September 9th.

We begin this week, as always, with the Top 3!

#3 – NEW AVENGERS #4 (Marvel)

With reality under furious attack by arcane power far beyond anything anyone on Earth has ever dealt with before, the Avengers have to start getting creative or forfeit all that we know. The rules of magic and mysticism in the Marvel Universe are about to change in a gigantic way and it’s all going to happen here!

#2 – AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #641 (Marvel)

This is it! The startling conclusion to ONE MOMENT IN TIME! How did the world REALLY forget Peter Parker was Spider-Man? And what does the future hold for Peter & Mary Jane? Every question is answered, the past laid to rest, and Spider-Man swings into a new direction for the future!

#1 – X-FORCE: SEX & VIOLENCE #3 (OF 3) (Marvel)

The blood soaked conclusion!! Wolverine is the best he is at what he does. Domino is the luckiest there is at what she does. But this time, it’s not going to be enough. The full force of the Assassins Guild is coming down on our heroes, and it’s not going to be pretty. Except for the art.

Contrary to what this week’s Top 3 might make you think, there are other books in shops this week aside from just those published by Marvel. Here’s the full rundown.

The Pull List: August 11th, 2010

By Mike Haynes | Tuesday, August 10, 2010 | The Pull List | 0 Comments

Yet another overload of solid books this week including the first issue of Ultimate Comics Avengers 3, the latest issue of Superman and the debut of the new Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors book by Peter Tomasi and Fernando Pasarin. Let’s take a peek at this week’s Top 3.

#3 – X-FORCE SEX AND VIOLENCE #2 (OF 3) (Marvel)

WARNING: This issue lives up to the title. Not for the squeamish or easily embarrassed, wink wink. Wolverine finds out why the Assassins Guild is after Domino, and it’s a funny story. Well, Domino thinks it is. But Logan is grumpy and does’t see the humor in it, probably due to the fact that Dom’s actions have put a half dozen of the worlds deadliest assassins on their trail. And then things get complicated. Ahhh, romance.

#2 – ZATANNA #4 (DC)

Zatanna loves Vegas, and Vegas loves her – but should Zee be wary of the attentions of a handsome, well-connected casino owner? She can hold her own against the most ridiculous Royal Flush Gang ever assembled, and she can just about cope with her cousin Zachary’s immature antics, but she’d better watch out for the sultry fire demons that are hot on her heels!

#1 – ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #13 (Marvel)

There’s no other way to say it: In this issue…Spider-Man’s entire life is completely destroyed. Read the series that has fans and critics hooked as Brian Michael Bendis and David Lafuente rock out another unbelievable issue!

There’s definitely more quality books to pick up this week. Here’s the full list of releases from all the major publishers arriving in stores on Wednesday.
