My Weekly Pull [10]

Firstly, Jacob brought something to my attention... the Spider-Man #238 cover is actually the cover for last month's issue, and the image from last month is the correct cover for this week. I use Comic List as a reference (it links you to other sites, but gives you a general list of what's coming out), and I guess they had their covers swapped!

Secondly, I'm loving all the covers for this week! The Rogue & Gambit heart, the last issue of Hawkeye (😭), and even crazy Rocket and a splintered Groot. The image of Nightcrawler is pretty awesome, too!

From the first week, I'm incredibly pumped for the All-New Wolverine with Deadpool. He's always making things worse, but in the best way. The Moon Knight cover has me a little worried, but Max Bemis always ends with a massive cliffhanger, so I feel like I should just worry on principle. It's also my last Gwenpool (😭), because all of my favorite comics are ending. I know there's the next thing to read, but it's hard when you've already fallen in love with something else.

Clearly, Jacob and I read way too many comics, so we are trying to narrow them down a bit, but it's difficult. Some of these are only going to be five issues, some are ten issues, and others are ongoing. Do we stop reading comics that have only a few issues, or see them through to the end? Should we stick with what we just absolutely love, or still branch out a little? It's hard to give up on a comic, or slim down your list, but there are a few that I don't have an issue quitting. 

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur -- She's started acting really snobbish for an nine-year-old (I'm pretty sure she's nine), and she knows she is smarter than everyone else in the world. I think it's gone to her head, and I'm not a fan of her "superior" attitude. I also don't really care for the addition of Thing and The Human Torch. It's been...odd. It keeps getting weirder, too. I started reading this from the Legacy issue, so I haven't actually read one that includes Devil Dinosaur. She sent him back to his time... or something... I don't actually know. It's not one that I have a strong desire to continue. 

Marvel Two-In-One -- Maybe I just don't like Thing and The Human Torch? I've read the first three and just don't feel very invested in their story. 

Spider-Man Deadpool -- (Note: I only read the Legacy issue. Jacob is hovering over my shoulder and telling me I need to "read the oldies" to have a better opinion.) UGH. I've never not wanted to finish a comic, but this one was extremely tempting. But it's a comic, right? They're not very long, so I persevered. Spider-Man was almost as annoying as Deadpool. Peter Parker seemed lazy, unmotivated and unlikable. Deadpool is meant to be obnoxious, but I feel like his winning personality was over-the-top and just too much. I didn't think their banter was witty or funny.

Those are the three I would like to strike from our list, but I'm not sure Jacob will agree with Spider-Man Deadpool. He enjoys it, so I don't want to break the man's heart. It's just not something I will continue to read. I think he and I agree on the other two. 

Have you tried any new comics this week? Let me know!
