Pick & Pull: July 31, 2013 - 3 Guns, Batman, Collider + More!

It's the return of the much loved weekly editorial for best comics to check out this week! Pick & Pull is back and just in time to see some great things in the making. This week we have Neil Gaiman joining Marvel in a way, 3 Guns is better than 2, and it's getting dark in here.

3 Guns #1 (of 6) - This is a sequel to 2 Guns (catchy title really). This time around they throw in a girl for you know more jokes and battles between each other. Looks pretty promising to be fun and action packed.

Batman Annual #2 - The first annual was pretty emotional with Mr. Freeze getting sweet and touching origins. So it's only natural to pick up the 2nd issue and see where we will go. This team has never really let us down in the emotional, action, or drama side of things.

Captain Midnight #1 - This is really part of the trend by Dark Horse to bring older characters back to life, but with Joshua Williams behind it, I have to pick it up!

Guardians of the Galaxy #5 - They are bringing one of Neil Gaiman's characters into the Marvel universe in a big way and it all starts here. Check out Angela in this issue!

Sheltered: A Pre-Apocalyptic Tale #1 - The title is just the cool strange part of it!

Collider #1 - This one snuck up on me and sounded so intriguing to sic-fi reader in me. It's like a mixture of Fringe and other sci-fi goodies.

Pick & Pull: April 3, 2013 - Age of Ultron, Thanos Rising, Uber + More!

You know the drill fellow nerdisters (thats a world right?). Pick & Pull time is here and this week is very Marvel sided and independent sided. That isn't a bad thing at all. Marvel has some big stuff going down for the next few months and its all here now and its big. Also, we get a pretty decent sized new series. Check them out!

Highlights:

Age of Ultron #4 - Marvel has quite a big story on their hands with this series and its getting more epic every week. This week has some big turns and will likely start some fan fighting!

Thanos Rising #1 - with Ultron being a major book, why not give other publishers another punch with Thanos? He will have a huge part in Marvels future in comics and movies. We know that. Although, do we know that much about him? I think not. So Marvel has this sweet series to get us better aquatinted with the purple guy.

Uber #0 - I don't like how books do a #0, but this series made up with having a oversized issue that is very nice. All you really need to know is you have supersoliders and WWII.

Abe Sapien #1 - We love Hellboy and the whole universe he is in. We all love Abe. Great Idea give him his own ongoing series. Oh wait! They are doing that this week and it will be awesome!

Action Comics #19 - Here is a DC book that was in need of a lot of help. It has a new creative team behind it that hopefully can turn this forgettable series into a greatness and the first issue is shaping up nicely with them.

Pick & Pull: March 27, 2013 - Guardians of Galaxy,B.P.R.D., Batman Inc. + More

It's that time of the week again and this week we have some pretty cool things happening fellow comic enthusiasts. We have some more repercussions of Robins untimely demise, a brand new series starting up with a wild favorite team, and a cool extension of an always favorite. 

Highlights

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 - This series has so much potential after that amazing prelude we had a little bit back. I can see this becoming a for sure pull from now on. Check out if you want to see how this team comes together. 

B.P.R.D: Vampire #1 (of 5) - I loved the story that this is a continuation of and with this one featuring the likes of Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon, expect some awesomeness. 

Batman Incorporated #9 - The last issue changed everything for Batman/Bruce Wayne and we will see where this will take him. A must see!

Teen Titans #19 - Red Robin's problems are still bad and getting worse. What will happen to him or effect the others? Also, features Suicide Squad, which is a plus in my book. 

Pick & Pull: March 13, 2013 - Batman, Batman and Robin, Wolverine + More

It's finally here folks, Sorry for the late post but here are this weeks Pick & Pulls. They are actually very Batman related because of the recent events that have shaken the family. We get a comic book that is all silent for a special bird boy that passed away. *sniff* and a brand new series of a mutant favorite.

Highlights 

Batman and Robin #18 - This issue is very interesting because we are going to give Robin a moment of silence, well a whole issue. Ya thats right a whole comic with no dialogue I believe. Can't miss this!

Batman #18 - This series has become my favorite comic in recent history with Scott Snyder taking the Bat into a fantastic world and depth I haven't seen in years. This issue will also deal with Batmans loss of his son.

Wolverine #1 - Here isn't something Batman related, but equally awesome in every way. A new series about Wolverine that is rumored to be pretty awesome. So this is much check out!

Sledgehammer 44 #1 - This is a Hellboy character kicking some butt in world war II era and basically is a twisted version of Iron Man. Pretty awesome I know.

Hoax Hunters #8 - This series is kind of just filling my void of supernatural investigators until The X-Files makes it's return this summer. I am so excited. Oh ya this series is still pretty awesome and check out if you like stuff like that.

Pick & Pull: March 6th, 2013 - Age of Ultron, Superman, Detective Comics, + More

It's that time again fellow brotherhood of Mutants (just kidding we are good kids right? Righhht?). This weeks pick & pull includes a finale to a big arc to a hero, A look at a hero after a big loss in family, and the new age of a villain that has been due to show up sooner or later.

Highlights 

Age of Ultron #1 - This series has been lingering around just waiting to come out with little bits of it being planted even way back in Avengers Vs X-Men series. We are going to see Ultron evolve and try to take over the earth and destroy humanity as we know it. Pretty exciting I know. The only people that can stop it is just about everyone in the Marvel universe take down this thing in a massive 10 part series.

Detective Comics #18 - Batman will be taking on a huge foe we all know is pretty crazy awesome. The Penguin. Batman just went through a very traumatizing time losing his one and only son and what better way to go rage crazy than take it out on Gotham scum. We will start to see how the death is affecting Bruce on a very personal level in this issue.

Superman #18 - The final issue in the "H'EL On Earth" story arc and it is a doozy. To win the final fight with H'EL, one of the members must make a fatale sacrifice to stop it. Some s@#$ goes down in this issue that will have repercussions.

Batman: Gotham By Gaslight (TB) - This is kind of a extra little thing I added that I think any Batman fan would love. This is the collection of an amazing elseworlds series that has Batman pitted against Jack The Ripper in a crazy battle in Gotham in the 1800s. Sounds cool, thats because it is.

More next week

Pick & Pull: February 27th, 2013 - Batman Incorporated,Guardians of Galaxy + More

Its another issue of Pick & Pull folks! This time, we are going to give you, some big @#$% thats going down in the Batman family, a closer look at a big team that will be emerging soon, and what on earth did the Joker do to Red Robin? Big week guys.

Highlights: 

Batman Incorporated #8 - This is the issue writer Grant Morrison has been building up too. The Batman family will be shaken big time by this loss. That is all I will say about this issue. A Must read. 

Guardians of the Galaxy #0.1 - This is the start of, what will hopefully be, an amazing series. This is a special prelude comic to get you newbies (me included) caught up on just who this Star-Lord guy is, and how he became him. 

Teen Titans #17- The Death of a Family storyline is over, but the aftermath is still taking affect. The team is starting to notice something is off about Red Robin. Read to find out. 

Young Avengers #2 - The first issue was pretty awesome and gave us one crazy cliffhanger that just wanted us all to see what happened next. Here is that issue. We get guest stars Uncanny Avengers and a mystery guest from a characters past. Pretty exciting stuff here. 

Till next week! 

Pick & Pull: February 20th, 2013 - Justice League of America, Nova, + More

This weeks Pick & Pull is coming out to be another strong week of releases with a New Justice League teaming coming out made of all our favorites that need more page space, to a teen becoming a hero, and a new gunslinger story. 

Highlights: 

Justice League of America #1 - This isn't just another Justice League book to add to the catalog for the hell of it. This is a book that will give some of the best heroes their due time to shine in a book. This isn't the big team like Batman or Superman, but the cool guys like Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, and Catwoman (weird, yet so awesome). Check this out!

Nova #1 - This hero was in need of his own series to tell his tale. If you have seen the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and loved Nova, well, check out this book written by the great Jeph Loeb. It isn't all about the whole space battle scene but even more about getting to know the character and his relationships with family.

The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun #1 The Sixth Gun is one fantastic series that is making waves in comic world and tv worlds. Expect to see a lot of this series in future, but for now check out this book. It gives us what many have been wondering and wanting to know. That is more info on General Hume's horsemen.

Justice League of America's Vibe #1 - We all wanted to get a more personal look at this young heroes life. Co-written by Geoff Johns, we are in for a treat in this journey. Get to see why exactly JLA wants this guy on the team.

Deadpool #5 - This series is pretty far out there with some great humor by comedian Brian Posehn. The only thing I have to say is Deadpool fighting Ronald Reagan….in space!?! Ya you heard me right…space.. 

Comics: Pick & Pull: February 13, 2013

It's that time again! The last (first) Pick & Pull was a pretty big success with some good feedback. So why not try a second time and see how it goes because this week is pretty big! We get a conclusion to a huge event, new series starting, a new team forming and just coolness all around. 

Highlights 

Batman #17 - The epic conclusion to the absolutely amazing 'A Death of a Family' Story arc is finally here! This story arc has had some great moments throughout that just stick to you after reading. This is a must read for any Batman fan

Secret Avengers #1 - This is an awesome book that puts Hawkeye and Black Widow front and center with Agent Coulsen and Nick Fury (Jr.?). This book is written by Nick Spencer, so expect to get great story lines with us basically knowing what the files and heroes know at the time. 

Uncanny X-Men #1 - The other major team book coming out this week, Since Uncanny X-Men is widely known as the "it" X-book, this series is shaking things up and they are pretty sweet sounding. This is a spinoff of the amazing All New X-Men and that keeps this pretty awesome to read. 

Powers Bureau #1 - This is the next chapter in the cool series Powers with them dealing with powers across the entire country. Pretty crazy sounding. And should be great for new readers to jump in (like me!) 

Any others you would like to add? or excited about?

Comics: Pick & Pull for February 6th, 2013

This is a new thing that I will be trying out here and there, but essentially it's a post to show you what comes out this week in comics that I (maybe not you) believe will be worth checking out. If you have any suggestions just let me know and I'd be glad to check it out or add it to the Pick & Pull list. 

So for the first ever Pick & Pull we have a few books to mention. 

Biggest Checkouts

Detective Comics #17 - We get to see meet some brand-new villains that kick off a new story arc after the events in the "Death of a Family" storyline. enough said. Sounds like a for sure check out!

Red Team #1 - I'm a huge fan of Garth Ennis since his Punisher MAX days and he knows how to create suspense, violence and memorable characters. This book features an elite anti-narcaotics unit going through great measures to get the job done with they get matched against a great force. 

All-New X-Men #7 - There are a lot of books featuring X-Men or members of it, but this book just takes the cake for being so great every single issue and a must read. We get to see how Mistique will interact with the original X-Team…very very interesting. 

Superior Spider-Man #3 - This series just created so much controversy from the beginning and how they are messing with spideys past relationships, but you know what? This series has pushed all the right buttons so far and created amazing dialogue and scenarios that makes it fun to read. 

Hit Girl #5 (of 5) - Finally! I gave up on waiting for this book to come out that I almost forgot to add it to the list. Hit Girl is finally getting the closing chapter it had been needing for quite some time now.

New Avengers #3 - Being pretty new this series was pretty strong from the beginning and now in this issue we get to the Illuminati do their thing, and best part a new member will be graced with joining them! Who is it!?!?

There is way more books to check out but for time and space just head on down to your local comic shop and check them all out and see what meets your fancy. You never know what might catch your eye. Go have some fun my fellow Nerds!
