Geekscape Comics: The Weekly Pull List For The Week Of October 17th!
Every week there’s plenty of titles that hit your local comic shop. Maybe you’re having a hard time deciding which issues to pick up this week? Or maybe you just want to check out something that you’re not reading yet? Well, have no fears long box junkies…I am here to help you out with The Weekly Pull List. Every week I will give you a heads up on what will be the six issues that should be on the top of your stacks and pull lists this coming Wednesday. So, let’s kick off The Weekly Pull List for the week of October 17th!
MARVEL NOW! POINT ONE
Marvel NOW! may have kicked off with last week’s Uncanny Avengers but this is the book to check out the future of the Marvel U with a collection of one-shots leading into their new titles. It’s got a Nova, Cable and Guardians Of The Galaxy story. You’re sold.
ULTIMATE COMICS IRON MAN #1
– Demon in the Armor? What dark motivation drives reckless Tony Stark to be one of Earth’s greatest heroes? Who or what is Ultimate Mandarin?
AvX: CONSEQUENCES #2
– Spinning directly out of AVX #12, find out what happens next! What ramifications will the fallout of AVX have on the Marvel Universe?
CYBER FORCE #1
– Top Cow celebrates its 20th anniversary with the return of the series that started it all: CYBER FORCE! Not content in pushing the envelope just in terms of story and art, Top Cow will be the first major US comic publisher to launch one of their biggest properties with top tier creators concurrently for both the traditional print market and exploding worldwide digital market for FREE. That’s right: Thanks to the support of fans through Kickstarter and participating comic shops, you can get the first FIVE issues of CYBER FORCE at no cost.
You read that right. It’s free. The question is, why wouldn’t you pick it up?
HARBINGER #5
– Toyo Harada and Peter Stanchek. Master and apprentice. Creator and destroyer. Alpha and Omega. Humanity’s most powerful psionic, Pete Stanchek, has been run to ground. His few friends and family are gone. He is loved is by no one. At the nadir of his brief, 18-year existence, he has been drugged, deceived and deluded by a corporate master. But now he’s finally had enough.
– Tonight, the human race will find out exactly how powerful he is. Tonight, the boy who has nothing will go to war against the man who has everything. And soon the Valiant Universe will discover that everything has an end – even the world.
It’s hard to pick between this and XO Manowar as Valiant’s best relaunched series. Oh, who am I kidding here? It’s Harbinger and there’s still plenty of time to catch up before this issue hits stands.
THE WALKING DEAD #103
– It is a new beginning for THE WALKING DEAD.
Rick Grimes is no longer in charge, and nothing will ever be the same again. It’s such a perfect jumping on point, it could easily have been a new first issue – but instead, the world’s best selling creator-owned comic just keeps moving forward, with #103 and counting!
It’s The Walking Dead…just shut up and read it already.
This weeks trade spotlight: ZOMBIES CHRISTMAS CAROL
– There will be no singing this Christmas – only screaming! Marvel presents Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol…with a ghoulish twist! As London is overrun by a plague known as the ‘Hungry Death’ – a disease spreading rapidly among the surplus population – the poor turn into the undead and hunger unendingly. When the disease spreads from the workhouses to the public, only one person can turn the zombie tide and save Christmas for all: that humbug, Ebenezer Scrooge. God help us, everyone. Collecting ZOMBIES CHRISTMAS CAROL #1-5.
Hey, it’s time to get in the holiday spirit…right?
