Incredible Hercules #139
New Avengers #60
New Mutants #8
X-Men Legacy #231

I'll also be picking up X-Necrosha: The Gathering #1 that I missed the other week. And I'm giving New Mutants another go. I downloaded issue 6 and it was pretty good so I'll be picking up the Necrosha tie-ins, issues 6,7 and 8 this week too. The ti-ins have been better than the X-Force issues so far.

What's your x-mas pull list look like?

Hex's Pull List - Today!

Well it's a bit late, but here's what I've ordered today.

Cable #21
Captain America Reborn #5
Daredevil #503
Dark Wolverine #81
X-Factor #200
X-Force #22
X-Men Legacy #230

I'm looking forward to Azrael #3, as the first 2 issues have been surprisingly good. GL Corps should rock as usual and Guy Gardner = Red Lantern should be awesome, plus what are the consequences of Kyle's death last issue- will he rise as a Black Lantern?

On the Marvel side Daredevil should be good and I'm hoping 'Necrosha' gets a bit more interesting in X-Force #22. What will you guys be getting?

Hex's Pull List = 12/09/09

DC
Adventure Comics #5
Booster Gold #27

MARVEL
Dark X-Men #2

Invincible Iron Man #21

New Avengers Annual #3
Realm of Kings Imperial Guard #2
What If? World War Hulk
Wolverine Under Boardwalk
X-Men Forever #13

I'm looking forward to some good Nate Grey action in Dark X-Men #2. I'm picking up Iron Man #21 as I enjoyed the last issue quite a bit which was the start of the new 'Disassembled' arc. Nation X... I'll give it a go. ROK Imperial Guard I'm looking forward to as the 1st issue was great and I love those characters. Another shitty What If, which Ill pick up, I don't know why but I kind of like them stories, even though most of them are really bad. Guess I have to know 'what if' on some of these big Marvel story lines, just can't help myself.

What will you be getting?

Hex's Pull List - 02/12/2009

Sweet Tooth #4
Siege The Cabal
What If? Secret Invasion
X-Force Annual #1
Sword #20
Haunt #3

I'm also going back and picking up Invincible Iron Man #20 as I've heard such great things about this series that I want to give it a go at the start of a new story arc, and I'll be picking up Punisher #11. Why? Well the story of Frankencastle sounded awful at first but I've found out the art is by Tony Moore, that means it's a must check out for me.

Overall it's a smaller week for me, which is good, Siege: the Cabal being the biggest book of the week.

What you guys getting?

Hex's Pull List - 11/25/09

Blackest Night #5
Detective Comics #859
Green Lantern #48
Superman Secret Origin #3

Avengers The Initiative #30
Dark Wolverine #80
Immortal Weapons #5
Incredible Hercules #138
New Avengers #59
Secret Warriors #10
Ultimate Comics Avengers #4
X-Men Forever #12

Hmm...big week. Not really helpful when I already have loads to catch up on. I was pondering on getting Worlds Finest #2 but the first issue was very average and not really too exciting, with a big week like this, it's facing the chopping block I'm afraid. I was planning on dropping Secret Warriors too, as the last arc has not really been as good as the first and I cant get to like the characters enough, only Fury. With my list getting bigger each week that book was going to be another drop, until I saw the preview over at CBR that is and it just looked awesome. Check it here.

I'm a sucker for old mythological tales and the book starts with a cool one and this issue looks like it could be the big showdown between Ares and his son, so it's now back on the list...for this issue at least.

What you guys getting?

Hex's Pull List - 10/14/09

DC
Adventure Comics #3

Green Lantern Corps #41

Red Robin #5

Secret Six #14 (maybe)

MARVEL

Deadpool #900

X-Men Forever #9

Nice light week for me so I'm also going to pick up some old issues of Avengers Initiative and Amazing Spider-Man that I have missed to get me up to date.

What are you guys picking up?

Hex's Pull List - 10/07/09

Batman and Robin #5

Batman Annual #27

Cable #19

Dark Reign List Secret Warriors

Deadpool #16

Ghost Riders Heavens on Fire #3

X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas #1

Haunt #1

Sweet Tooth #2

War Heroes #3

Haunt #1 has been getting terrible reviews, mainly for the many comparisons to Spawn, but I have never read Spawn, I like Kirkman and I liked the preview pages so I'll give the first issue a go.

I was planning on waiting on the trade for Sweet Tooth but I enjoyed the first issue so much I kinda cant wait another 6 or 7 months for that trade to appear.

War Heroes #3 is finally here! I think the last issue came out about a year ago or something. If not it feels like it. But I loved the first 2 issues and love Millar (especially his independent work) so I'm really looking forward to this and as you can see above it has an awesome cover.

What are you guys geting?

Hex's Pull List - 09/30/09

DC
Green Lantern #46

MARVEL
Secret Warriors #8
Spider-Man Clone Saga #1
X-Factor #49
X-Force #19
X-Men Forever #8

Nice size week, this is more like it, I don’t feel too bad or guilty each week if I’m only buying six books, It allows me to free up some cash and maybe I can get round to picking up one of TPB’s from my long lists of must buys, that just keeps growing and growing, or grabbing some older x-men back issues from e-bay.

I’m looking forward to reading the Clone Saga, just for the subject matter really. I never read the original but have always been fascinated by the idea of it and how it is universally hated, so the idea of the Clone Sage revisited and (apparently) told as it was intended intrigues me.

What are you guys picking up?

Pull list - 23/09/09 - Already?

I've been feeling pretty ill for the past week and have been off work (yay!), so sorry for the lack of posts (not so yay!). Anyway, I haven’t even got round to reading most of last weeks books yet, but here we are again; new comic book day. So this is what I’ll be getting:

DC

Blackest Night Superman #2

Detective Comics #857

Superman Secret Origin #1

The Web #1

Wednesday Comics #12

MARVEL

Dark Reign List X-Men One Shot

Dark X-Men Confession One Shot

Immortal Weapons #3

Incredible Hulk #602

New Avengers #57

Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan #1

Wolverine Origins #40

Pretty big week for me. Superman: Secret Origin #1is definitely my highlight of the week. Johns & Frank back together on Superman! I hope it's as good as their Action Comics run.

What you guys getting, and which book are you looking forward to the most?

Hex’s Pull List – 09/16/09

Loads of good stuff shipping tomorrow. I'll be getting:

Batman and Robin #4
Batman Streets of Gotham #4
Blackest Night #3
Wednesday Comics #11
Captain America Reborn #3
Dark Avengers #9
Dark Reign List Daredevil One Shot
X-Factor #48
X-Men Legacy Annual #1
Sword #19

Action Comics is out this week. But I won’t be picking it up. I’ve had enough of the current Superman Universe for the time being. Action Comics was one of the best titles on the stands when Johns & Frank were on that title, but since they left Action Comics, and with Robinson on ‘Superman’, the books have been on a very large downward spiral. I;ll just ge my fix from Superman: Secret Origins when that hits.

I’m reluctantly going to pick up Dark avengers #9, to help follow the new story arc in Secret Avengers, and with the hope that Ares will face off against Nick Fury, as the cover suggests.

And Philip Tan on Batman & Robin. I’m looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

What are you guys reading this week?

Hex's Pull List 09/10/2009

DC

Adventure Comics #2

Blackest Night Batman #2

Green Lantern Corps #40

Red Robin #4

Secret Six #13

The Shield #1

Wednesday Comics #10

MARVEL

Dark Avengers Uncanny X-Men Exodus

Dark Reign List Avengers One Shot

Kick-Ass #7

Ultimate Comics Avengers #2
War of Kings Who Will Rule #1

X-Men Forever #7

13 this week, but out of that I believe 7 are $3.99 books. All of the Marvel books this week are $3.99 except Kick-Ass. I’m really starting to feel these price increases each week.

Wednesday Comics is nearly finished, and I’m quite glad. What started off as a fantastic series has been a bit of a let down the last couple of weeks, with all the stories becoming a bit bland, and I think the whole newspaper novelty thing has now worn off. But I’ve bought the last 9 issues, so I’ll keep at it to the end (12 issues in total), hoping that it will finish strong.

'Kick-Ass #7' finally! I’m sure it will deliver the goods.

I hope we get some good Gladiator action in 'War of Kings: Who Will Rule', I love the idea as having him as the new Shi'ar ruler.

I hope we’ll find out what happens to the big blue fur ball Beast in; 'Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men- Exodus' and whether he retains his blue fur or not. It’s been quite an enjoyable cross over by Matt Fraction over all and I hope the story threads are tied up nicely in this issue.

What are you guys getting?

Hex's Late Pull List - 1/09/09

Sweet Tooth #1 (Vertigo)


MARVEL
Cable #18

Ghost Riders: Heavens on Fire #2
Immortal Weapons #2
Incognito #6

YES! A nice small week to help me catch up. I'm mostly looking forward to the final issue of Incognito, it's been a great series and when I finally can get round to it I'll pick up the Criminal TPB's by the same guys.

I'll also check out Sweet Tooth as it's only $1. Did anyone else pick this up?

So yeah, this pull list is late, and most of you guys have probably got or ordered your comics by now, so what did you get?

Big week for me, and I still have to get the new Walking Dead TPB at some point! Pay day please come sooner!

Daredevil #500

X-Factor #47

X-Men Legacy #227

AND....AOD Ash Saves Obama #1 – As Elliot over at Comic Culture Warrior has written it so I’ll give it a go. You can check out the preview for it here.

JSA vs. Kobra is a maybe also? I might hunt down the previous issues for this as I’ve heard good things about it.

So lots more to get through there when I still haven’t read half of last weeks books as I get mine delivered and the postal offices in London keep going on strike! Bastard! Damn Union’s! I’m all for fucking with the ‘Man’ but when it interferes with me getting my comics on time, well that’s a different matter altogether. I might have to go break some knee caps!

What will you guys be getting?

Hex’s Pull List – 08/12/2009

Hex's Pull List - 05/08/2009

DC

Justice League Cry for Justice #2

Red Circle Hangman #1

Secret Six #12

Superman World of New Krypton #6

Wednesday Comics #5

MARVEL

Captain America Reborn #2

A medium sized week for me. Once again DC beating Marvel in the fight for my cash. Could this be a trend?

That is a really ugly cover for Superman: WONK #6. I’m sorry I posted it but I’d already used all the other covers for previous posts. I hate that dual, mirror image type cover. It’s been used so much in the past and I think it looks totally shit. I haven’t read “WONK” (ha ha! I don’t know why that’s funny but it is), since issue #2. I’m not a fan of Pete Woods art at all and found the story by Rucka & Robinson boring. With this being the start of the cross over event “Codename: Patriot” however I’m willing to give it another go.

What you guys getting?

Hex’s Pull List 07/29/09

(Cover to JSA #29)

Medium sized week for me. Looks like this:

Marvel:

Dark X-Men Beginning #2
New Avengers #55
Secret Warriors #6
X-Men Forever #4

DC:

Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #3
Detective Comics #855
Justice Society #29
Superman #690
Wednesday Comics #4

A rare week for me where I’m picking up more DC than Marvel. I’m most looking forward to reading Detective Comics and JSA with its new creative team.

I also managed to order online Robin 3000 this week for £2 which I thought was a bargain. I have no clue if it will be any good or not I just liked the idea of Batman & Robin in the future and thought it had a cool cover. Anyone read it? Let me know what you thoughts.

I’ve also been reading the Old Boy manga series which I picked up beacuse I love the film. I’ve never read manga before but have read volumes 1 & 2 (of 7) so far and am really enjoying it. I plan on doing a review of the whole series when I finish and will be comparing it to the film.

What are you guys picking up this week?

Hex’s Pull List – 07/22/2009

Wolverine: Origins #38
X-Force #17

DC:
Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #2
Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #5
Green Lantern #44
Wednesday Comics #3

Well this looks like another really cool week for comics. Highlights for me include the Immortal Weapons #1 (being a big Iron Fist fan) and the final chapter of Legion of 3 worlds!! I can’t believe its finally fucking here, we waited long enough, hope it’s worth it.

Speaking of waiting for comics, I wonder when Mark Millar will get round to Kick-Ass #7 & War Heores #3 and the end of Old Man Logan and the next chapter of Americans Jesus and..... well you get the point. Millar you are one of my fav writers mate, but man you do make us wait!

What will you guys be picking up?

I’m most looking forward to Ollie & Hal back on the road again in the new Justice League mini (cover shown above), after some poor story lines in the main Justice League book I’m looking forward to some good team heroics and ass kicking in this one. The previews have looked great.

Obviously the big news book this week is Captain America Reborn #1. How will Bru bring Steve back? I am very excited to find out.

What are you guys picking up?

Pull List for 24/06/2009

(Awesome X-Force # 16 cover by K. Andrews, every cover of this story arc by Andrews has been knock out fantastic.)

Big list for me this week and a lot from Marvel, looks something like this:

Marvel:
Amazing Spider-Man # 598
Daredevil # 119
Dark Avengers/ Uncanny X-men: Utopia # 1
Guardians of the Galaxy # 15
Iron Fist # 27
New Avengers # 54
Secret Warriors # 5
Skaar: Son of Hulk # 12

Uncanny X-Men # 512
X-Factor # 45
X-Force # 16
X-Men Forever # 2

DC:
Green Lantern # 42

Not much DC there. I find myself buying less and less DC these days, and more and more Marvel.

I’ve decided not to pick up Superman # 689 this week, it’s just seems to be a book I’m not that bothered about reading anymore. I’m not picking up Nova # 26 also, I picked up the previous War of Kings tie in issues but so far they have pretty much been kept apart from the main War of Kings storyline, unlike Guardians of the Galaxy, which seems to be the essential WOK tie-in book.

I’m looking forward to the next chapter in X-Men Forever # 2 as I was surprised how much I liked the first. This month’s issue of Skaar also promises the inevitable throw down between the Hulk & Skaar, so that should be fun.

I can’t wait to read Amazing Spider-Man # 598 as the previous issue was so great, how will Pete escape Osborn? X-Force # 16 I hope will bring a satisfying close to the second ‘Messiah’ chapter, and I eagerly await details of the third chapter due out next year.

What will you guy’s be picking up this week?
