Pull File: 6/3/15

Trying out a new feature here. Since I can't always get full reviews up right away, I'll just post some quick two-three line reviews of each book I've bought this week as I read them, updating this post as I go. Full reviews will come later in the week.

Secret Wars #3: Answers. Sweet, sweet answers! This longer-than-average chapter of Secret Wars main story was so good it felt like it was super short. And we got some actual answers to just what the #^@% is happening here.

Secret Wars: Renew Your Vows #1: Less Secret Wars and more just an alternate universe tale, this was a truly just a Spider-Man tale with the classic married Peter Parker. And the issue stands pretty much completely on it's own.

Secret Wars: Giant-Size Little Marvel AvX: Ridiculous and ridiculously funny. Skottie Young's "Little Marvel" variant covers come to life in this weird segment of the Battleworld where Avengers and X-Men are basically rival gangs of little kids in a superhero version of The Little Rascals. Legitimately had me laughing out loud. And safe for kids to boot.

Yes. That is Gwen Stacy
as Groot.
Groot #1: Not bad by any means, but didn't really excite me either. Had a couple good laughs, but definitely prefer Groot as part of his team. Best suited for kids. That said, that image to the right is the absurd variant I picked up.

All-New X-Men #41: Nice little story with some legitimate questions about where mutants stand in the Marvel Universe. Seems like it could be building to something interesting.... if we had any idea if this series would be continuing on after Secret Wars.

Wonder Woman Annual #1: In my "to read" pile.

Secret Wars: Future Imperfect #1: The kingdom of Dystopia is kind of a bland place in my opinion (compared to some epic lands elsewhere in Battleworld). There are two cool twists that made this cool a cool story, but I'm not sure it will be enough to keep me around for issue #2.

Superior Iron Man #9: In my "to read" pile.

Secret Wars: Battleworld #2: Howard the Duck fights Blade. A cyborg Thunderbolt Ross vs Taskmaster in the Killiseum. Ridiculousness thy name is Battleworld.

Darth Vader #6: In my "to read" pile.

Star Wars #6: In my "to read" pile.

Princess Leia #4: In my "to read" pile.




Do you like this? Think it's useless? It's something I'm just trying out so I'd love to know what you think! Sound off in the comments below.
