My Weekly Pull is something I do every Wednesday to show which comics I had pulled for me that week! If you're into comics, or you're looking to start, please join me! If you decide to do your own post, there's a link-up at the bottom. I would love to stop by and check it out!
Magic Order #6 (of 6) by Mark Millar, Olivier Coipel, Karl Kerschl
Runaways #18 by Rainbow Rowell, Kris Anka
Jacob's comics for the week!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #91 by Tom Waltz, Michael Dialynas, Kevin Eastman
Hit-Girl Season Two #1 by Kevin Smith, Pernille Orum, Amanda Conner
Kick-Ass #12 by Steve Niles, Marcelo Frusin, Andre Araujo
Amazing Spider-Man #15 by Nick Spencer, Chris Bachalo, Paolo Rivera
Punisher #8 by Matthew Rosenberg, Szymon Kudranski, Greg Smallwood
Spider-Man Deadpool #46 by Robbie Thompson, Matt Horak, Dave Johnson
I have been anxiously awaiting the final issue of Magic Order, and now it's here! If you don't like cliffhangers, this might not be a series for you. Every issue leaves you wanting more (and they're really, really dark). There's always a big surprise or twist at the end, and then you have to wait another month to find out what happens. Thankfully, this is the last one! Everything should be resolved by the end.
This issue of Runaways should conclude the current arc, and I'm curious what Rowell will do next! The characters in this series have grown so much over the last year, and I've enjoyed watching them come together to fight their past and present issues. It's always a fun comic to pick up!
Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

The Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett
Expected publication: September 10th 2019
|
Some legends never die…
Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul.
Until Huck arrives from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him.
Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too. And they will go to any lengths—including murder—to possess it.
Jenn Bennett is my jam! I cannot wait to get my hands on this book! ♡
This is not my typical kind of read, but it's Jenn Bennett. I have enjoyed her paranormal historical series, so I will definitely give this a try.
ReplyDeleteMy first Jenn Bennett book was Bitter Spirits, so I started with her supernatural stuff. ;) It was an amazing start to a series, and one I know I'll read again. I've also enjoyed all of her YA books that I've read, and I'm really looking forward to this one. It has such a unique and interesting premise! <3 I hope we both love it.
DeleteI tried to watch the Netflix version of Marvel's Runaways, but I couldn't get into it.
ReplyDeleteIt's on Netflix? I thought it was Hulu! I've heard it's okay, but haven't had a chance to watch it for myself. I'm sorry it didn't work for you! The comic series is really great. Have you read any of Rainbow Rowell's books?
DeleteI'm currently reading Fangirl at the moment, but I haven't before! I've only heard good things about her writing though!
DeleteI haven't read that one, so you'll have to let me know how it is! I've only read Eleanor & Park, and The Runaways comic!
DeleteOh, my, GAWD. I hadn't heard about this one! I love Jenn Bennett and will absolutely be reading this one! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn Bennett is one of my favorites! I'm always on the lookout for her new books. When she mentioned writing this one last year, I was thrilled! It sounds like an incredible read. :)
DeleteThe fact that this is from Jenn Bennett and takes place in the Carpathian Mountains has me sold!
ReplyDeleteRight?! It's going to be amazing! <3
DeleteWow the cover for The Lady Rouge is gorgeous. Although it doesn't seem like my type of book, I hope you'll enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm really looking forward to reading it. :)
DeleteYESSSSSSSS!
ReplyDelete<3 <3 <3
DeleteOoh, The Lady Rogue sounds pretty epic!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my most anticipated reads this year! :)
DeleteI love the cover of Magic Order, and thanks for the heads up about Lady Rogue. This is the first I am seeing these. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteMagic Order is dark and suuuper violent, but I can't look away...
DeleteI'm really curious about Magic Order and The Runaways, so I need to find those!

Magic Order is pretty gruesome (in case that's not your cup of tea). It's a mini series with only six issues, but each one packs a punch. The story is really good! Runaways isn't as heavy, and the story is more action and fun. :)
DeleteWell, hello Bennett. I have read a few of her romances and really enjoyed them, but YA contemps aren't really my thing..so this, this excites me!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope we both love The Lady Rogue, Kimberly! I've enjoyed her adult books as well as her YA, but I'm really, really excited for this one. It sounds fabulous!
DeleteI've never read anything by Jenn Bennett (she does a lot of YA contemporary, right?) But I am living for the summary of Lady Rogue.
ReplyDeleteYes! She does write a lot of YA contemporary (some of my all-time favorites), and I also love her adult books. Do you like paranormal books? I would highly recommend Bitter Spirits, if you do! <3
DeleteRunaways!! Woot! I just finished the second season on Hulu a while back and it got me wanting to read these again. I think I left off with Vol 6 of the original series. Is Old Lace still around?
ReplyDeleteIs the series still worth watching? I'm on the fence! If I do decide to watch it, I have to "try" Hulu for a month or so and then cancel my subscription, haha. Old Lace is still around, though I'm not sure what her origin story is, or how she became a part of the group.
DeleteDidn't Gert's family gift Lace to her or something? Like an alarm, or an attack dinosaur? I can't remember now.
DeleteI think so- I know on the show that's the case w/ Gert's parents (although she more finds Old LAce than them giving it to her) but in the comics I don't remember? It's been a couple years since I read 'em. And the series is okay. Like the first season took a little criticism for being called Runaways but they never actually run away til the end haha. S2 is more about them actually "running away." I also liked S2 more. It felt more like the comics. But S1 is setting up the world and has its moments. It's a tough call as to whether it's worth the Hulu crap. I liked it okay but it's not ESSENTIAL viewing, IMO?
DeleteNoted! Jacob mentioned Hulu was getting a lot of Marvel shows (or they already have?). I think he mentioned Modok and Tygra, which would be interesting. I'm curious if they're shows made by Hulu, or if it's just the platform being used. You'll have to let me know!
DeleteI might see if it's possible to rent Runaways somewhere, because it doesn't sound like a show I'd want to sit down and watch all day. If I'm going to spend time watching something, I want it to be good. Especially since that means it's taking time away from something else.
I know what you mean. It's hard to say with Hulu- I heard that MAYBE some of the Netflix shows might go to Hulu. I hope so. MODOK and Tygra definitely sound interesting- are they going to be animated? Seems like I heard that somewhere. And yeah Runaways... *sigh* it's so hard to say. I mean I liked it, but enough to recommend it? I just don't know lol. Renting sounds like a good option if available!
DeleteI have no idea! If they're not animated, the costumes and CGI will be insane. Hmm -- you lac of enthusiasm makes me want to avoid Hulu, haha. I'll see if it's possible to rent the series. I'm sure you can buy it somewhere, and if that's true, renting should also be possible.
