X-Men – Pull List 8th March

The Geeky Brummie Pull List with X-Men

It’s another fairly small Pull List this week. The Comic of the Week title goes to X-Men from Marvel Comics. The other 2 comics on the main Pull List also come from Marvel Comics. Our On The Radar selections are 4 comics from Dark Horse Comics and Marvel Comics. And in MEANWHILE… two new Time Bomb Comics Kickstarters.

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…

LORD OF THE BROOD, PART TWO

When the X-Men’s close friend Broo became the Brood King, he gained the ability to control the savage alien race he was both a part of and so different from. Now he is experiencing his own nightmare scenario—the Brood are killing his friends, and there is nothing he can do to stop it!

Whilst Sins of Sinister is happening elsewhere, the in regular X-Men book we are being treated to an adventure with the Brood. This story has a lot to live up to, given the history the team has with these aliens. The first part of the story was fun and full of action and hopefully that will continue through the remainder of the story.

Raid the tombs of Otherworld! Pick the pockets of the Marvel Universe and build the sacred weapon! And let us bear witness to the final fate of the First…the fallen fiend who was once known as NIGHTCRAWLER.

SINS OF SINISTER TIE-IN

I know, I know. This book has been promoted to the main Pull List, without even appearing On The Radar. The reason for this was I had considered culling my X-books as we went in to the Sins of Sinister event, but having Kieron, Al and Simon writing these books has pulled me back in. Lots of interesting stuff happening here and with only three issues in the series, it’s going to be a quick ride.

More Time Bomb Comics Kickstarters

Those fine folks over at Time Bomb Comics currently have a new Kickstarter campaign running for Stephenson’s Robot Graphic Novel.

Stephenson’s Robot is a 144 page colour Graphic Novel that tells the tale of the robot Kingdom, the result of the feud between Victorian engineers Robert Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Challenged by Queen Victoria to make her a robot army rather than focus on trivialities like the railroad, these very competitive and driven men get to work.

Where Stephenson aims to build his robot to be the same size as humans…

…Brunel decides to forego such constraints and looks to build the biggest robot he can.

But shortcomings in the scientific world causes them to turn to magic and it is here that things go wrong.

The tale follows Kingdom as he looks to right the wrongs of his creators, accompanied by the strange friends he has made along the way and takes place during the First World War.

As usual there are some great rewards on offer but the main thing as with all Time Bomb Comic campaigns is the book. You can pledge for your copy of graphic novel over on the Stephenson’s Robot Kickstarter page (Link)

Get Ready to Brawl Again

The third issue of the successful Brawler series is coming to Kickstarter soon.

The anthology of strange tales and amazing stories returns!
