My Pull List for Week 8 of 2022
The reboot of Firefly looks pretty good this week along with continuations of Deadly Class, House of Slaughter, Black Hammer, and it certainly is good to have Saga back.
I’m looking forward to giving Step by Bloody Step and Cross to Bear a try and the crazy violence of BRZRKR has been fun so far.
Anyway, this looks like a good week even though the Comixology interface got all messed up. I am not too happy I’ve got to purchase everything with 1-Click now…I much prefer to group things together so I know what I’m buying all at once.
Here’s what I picked up this week…
