The Pull List: The Top Titles of October 21


We’ve got a whole lot to be excited about in this week’s Pull List!

JUSTICE LEAGUE  #45 | DC COMICS

4866269-justl_cv45_ds

Writer: Geoff Johns
Illustrator: Francis Manapul

The second wave of the hugely popular Darkseid War is here with Darkseid War: Gods and Men! This next chapter highlights the all-new Justice League following the events of the previous issue, where some of the members gained god-like powers which came with a price. This has been a very successful mini event for DC and I am really looking forward to this one!


CLEAN ROOM #1 | VERTIGO COMICS

CLNRM-Cv1-ds-416f9

Writer: Gail Simone
Illustrator: Jon Davis-Hunt

What is the Clean Room? That’s one of the questions journalist Chloe Pierce wants to answer after her fiance killed himself not long after reading Astrid Mueller’s mysterious new book. This is the first Vertigo series for fan favourite writer Gail Simone and it looks very intriguing.


UNCANNY INHUMANS #1 | MARVEL COMICS

Writer: Charles Soule
Illustrator: Steve McNiven

It’s been eight months after the events from Secret Wars and things are looking very different for the Inhumans. Human Torch and Medusa are together, Black Bolt is doing secret missions and Beast has left the X-Men to join the Inhumans. To complicate matters even more, they will have to contend with Kang The Conqueror in this new series by Soule and McNiven who recently worked together on Death Of Wolverine.


AMAZING SPIDER-MAN  #2 | MARVEL COMICS

detail-1

Writer: Dan Slott
Illustrator: Giuseppe Camuncoli with Alex Ross for the cover illustration

Spider-Man has taken over the world and looks to keep things that way as Zodiac attempts to thwart the web head’s plans of global dominance. This has been a uniquely different take on Spidey as we’re not used to seeing him web-sling around the streets of Shanghai doing a Tony Stark impression but I liked the first issue so can’t wait for more!


STAR WARS: SHATTERED EMPIRE #4 | MARVEL COMICS

detail-2

Writer: Greg Rucka
Illustrator: Marco Checchetto

The new canon tale taking place between episodes VI and VII of the Star Wars universe comes to a close with a setup for the new movie in December. This book has been up and down but should end strong with fans anxiously waiting for The Force Awakens.
