The Geeky Brummie Pull List with Way of X
Only the final issue of Way of X makes this weeks list. Seven other comics make it in to our On The Radar section, including the latest instalments of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Bermuda and Beyond The Breach, and you should definitely check them out.
In Meanwhile…
If you want to send any comics or comic related events we should feature, feel free to reach out to me at keith@geekybrummie.com. Now on with the comics…
Title: Way of X
Issue: 5
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Written by Simon Spurrier : Art by Bob Quinn : Cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli
THIS IS THE WAY! What happens when the third law of Krakoa is broken? What happens when all other solutions have failed? What happens when Nightcrawler finally finds the Way?
With so much going on in the world of the X-Men it’s possible you’ve not picked up this title. You really should as Si Spurrier and his team have been putting out on of the best X-books on the market. It’s a real shame that this is the final issue of this run as Si’s take on these characters has been revelatory and he is one of my favourite writers right now. We are getting a follow up issue in X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation which is due at the end of September but I hope Si is given a chance to keep playing in the X-verse again soon.
On the radar this week some other comics not on the Pull List but well worth checking out:
Moon Knight #2
Marvel Comics
Written by Jed MacKay : Art by Alessandro Cappuccio : Cover by Steve McNiven
Moon Knight has established his territory, and the people within it are under the protection of his Midnight Mission. But what happens when those very people are turned into weapons against him? When gangs of elderly residents leave a trail of bizarre violence, Moon Knight must put his body, mind and very soul on the line to get to the bottom of it.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #3
DC Comics
Written by Tom King : Art by Bilquis Evely : Coloured by Mat Lopes
Supergirl’s journey across the cosmos continues! Her hunt to bring the killer Krem to justice brings her and the young alien in her care to a small planet, where they discover that there are still some very small minds, even on the outer edges of the galaxy. The cold welcome the locals give the Woman of Steel makes her suspicious enough to go looking for secrets they want to keep buried, and what she finds is nothing short of horrifying. Can she and Ruthye get off the planet alive now that these deadly sins have been exposed?
Bermuda #2
IDW Publishing
Written by John Layman : Art by Nick Bradshaw
Bermuda’s no fool. She knows better than to take on the Mers, the savage aquatic race of slavers who terrorize all who wash up on the mysterious island of Trangle. But recent arrival Bobby Randolph is determined to save his missing sister, so he goes looking for help in the one place he absolutely should not—Piratetown!
Static: Season One #3
DC/Milestone Comics
Written by Vita Ayala : Art by ChrisCross : Inks and Colour by Nikolas Draper-Ivey : Cover by Emilio Lopez and Khary Randolph
The government believes the super-powered teenage “Bang Babies” of Dakota are out of control…and they’re too dangerous to be allowed on the streets! When his classmates start disappearing, Virgil Hawkins wants to do the right thing and expose what’s going on…but is there any way to do so without Static getting snatched up himself?
Godzilla: Monsters and Protectors #5
IDW Publishing
Written by Erik Burnham : Art by Dan Schoening
Rise Up, Part 5! The time has come to see if the world is worthy of saving! Can our heroes—with a little help from the Shobijin—show Godzilla that mankind is capable of hope? Or will the Priestesses’ frightening vision of the future come to pass?
Compass #3
Image Comics
Written by Robert Mackenzie and Dave Walker : Art by Justin Greenwood
GREG RUCKA proudly presents a new direction in adventure with…COMPASS!

The acclaimed OLD GUARD: TALES THROUGH TIME team of writers ROBERT MACKENZIE and DAVE WALKER (LAZARUS SOURCEBOOK) and artist JUSTIN GREENWOOD (LAZARUS: X +66, Stumptown) plunge comics’ boldest new heroine to thrilling depths of danger!
