My Pull List for Week 18 of 2020

New releases are becoming pretty sparse lately with the lockdowns and virus cancelations. I’m certainly hoping this doesn’t continue too much longer as I really don’t want this pandemic to destroy the comic book industry. As it stands, this really can’t be good for publishers or creators.

Even with only a few new comics, I did look around in some of the back listings and found 4 issues I picked up this week.

New Weekly Releases

Each bounty is torn, broken, and bled dry before they are delivered dead and payment collected in gold – no silver. The Irons are the most feared bounty hunting killers in the west, but that fear isn’t based on them being the fastest with a pistol or rifle. it’s because they’re the Walking Dead. A lone tortured soul tracks them with vengeance and salvation driving him to end the curse upon his family. Those who he rescues call him savior but those who look upon his twisted and scarred face call him monster. Silas Irons is the only hope his brothers and sister have of salvation from the abominations they’ve become. But even the purity of his heart can’t stop the unnatural rage and bloodlust building in his diseased soul. A black curse turned these siblings into monsters but deep rooted and twisted family history made them into the worst kind of horrors. This year’s biggest supernatural western tale is collected here for the very first time!
