My Pull List for Week 8 of 2020
This week we see some interesting storylines coming to a close. Kaiju Score and The Scumbag wind their stories down but there are some tales that just keep going strong. Future State is still going with Aquaman and I think the Superman: House of El story sounds like it could be pretty good. Something is Killing the Children has been great so far and I expect it to keep on rolling. On the whole, I think this is a good week for adding a bunch of issues to my pull list.
