My Pull List for Week 39 of 2021
Every time I start moving to making fewer selections for my weekly pull list, I run into a week with tons of interesting issues. This is one of those weeks where I had to struggle to hold myself to 12 comics. I could easily have grabbed 15 or more comics but I suppose I restrained myself a bit.
Anyway, here’s what I pulled this week:
