The Geeky Brummie Pull List with The Sensational She-Hulk 3
Our Pull List this week features only 6 new comics in the post Christmas lull. Remember, because of the holidays, new comics may be a day or two later to appear on comic shop shelves, so be patient. Our Comic of the Week title is The Sensational She-Hulk 3 from Marvel Comics. The other 3 comics on the main pull list are published by DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Our On The Radar selection includes 2 new comics from DC Comics and Image Comics. And MEANWHILE… takes a rest until 2024.
If you want to send any comics or details of any comic related events we should feature, feel free to reach out to me at keith@geekybrummie.com or comics@geekybrummie.com
Now on with the comics…
The Sensational She-Hulk
Issue 3
Marvel Comics
Script – Rainbow Rowell
Art – Andrés Genolet
Colours – Dee Cunniffe
Letters – Joe Caramagna
Buy digitally on Comixology/Kindle – The Sensational She-Hulk #3 (Link)
SHE-HULK & HULK face off against one of She-Hulk’s most dangerous villains! But is Hulk’s scary new incarnation the best teammate to have?
LEGACY #181
In a quiet week, it’s good for The Sensational She-Hulk to take the top spot. This series continues to delight and is one of the best books Marvel is publishing. There is just something about this book hat makes you fall in love with it and more of you should be giving it a chance. You won’t be disappointed.
Power Girl
Issue 4
DC Comics
Script – Leah Williams
Art – Eduardo Pansica and Júlio Ferreira
Colours – Romulo Fajardo Jr.
Letters – Becca Carey
Buy digitally on Comixology/Kindle – Power Girl #4 (Link)
THE ORIGIN OF SYMBIO REVEALED! Will Power Girl be able to fight the dark entity who has been lurking inside her enemies? Or will she succumb to it herself? The true battle has only begun for our heroes as their artificial antagonist invites them to join it…or die!
Another powerful female character now. I’m really enjoying these new adventures of Power Girl, and I think more of you should give this revision a go.
Timeless (2023)
Issue 1
Marvel Comics
Script – Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly
Art – Juann Cabal
Buy digitally on Comixology/Kindle – Timeless #1 (Link)
BEHOLD THE FUTURE OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE—FEATURING THE DEBUT OF TWO NEW MARVEL ICONS! In a devastating future born from the choices of today, all of time and space is threatened by the ascension of an ancient evil. The MOON KNIGHT UNENDING has risen—a nightmare born of StarkTech, the Eternal Machine and the God of the Moon—and now all of Earth bows before his overwhelming power! But one man stands against Khonshu’s coming tide of chaos: POWER MAN, the Marvel Universe’s final living super hero. But who is Power Man—and how did he come to wield the unstable powers of the Sentry, the Hulk and the Iron Fist? What dark, deeply personal conflict underpins this mind-bending apocalypse? And at the end of the line, can the Marvel Universe ever truly be saved? PLUS—a SHOCKING glimpse into the next year of Marvel stories!
I’ve quite enjoyed the previous Timeless one-shots and with Lanzing and Kelly writing this one, I had to pick it up. I’m a fan of Power Man and Moon Knight so this should be quite the issue.
