My Weekly Pull [72] & Can't Wait Wednesday [42]

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!

 Transformers #6 by Brian Ruckley, Bethany McGuire-Smith

Daredevil #6 by Chip Zdarsky, Lalit Kumar Sharma, Julian Totino Tedesco

Jacob's comics for the week!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Urban Legends #13 by Gary Carlson, Frank Fosco, Kevin Eastman

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #94 by Tom Waltz, Dave Wachter, Kevin Eastman
Amazing Spider-Man #22 by Nick Spencer, Ryan Ottley
War of the Realms: Spider-Man and the League of Realms #2 (of 3) by Sean Ryan, Nico Leon, Ken Lashley
War of the Realms: War Scrolls #2 (of 3) by Jason Aaron, Andrea Sorrentino, Alan Davis

Only two comics for me this week! I've been really enjoying reading Transformers with my son, and I like Zdarsky's take on the new Daredevil. My husband and I rarely agree on Matt Murdock and what he's currently doing. He agrees with how Daredevil chooses to subdue/apprehend villains, and I prefer Frank Castle's approach. It's always interesting when those two are in the same room, because I think they both have very valid points. There's a line that Matt isn't willing to cross, but Frank believes it's the only way to ensure real change. We have very lively conversations about it.

Jacob and I don't read the same genre of books (he prefers non-fiction while I live happily in other worlds), and comics allow us to share our love of reading in a different way. He doesn't want to hear about the latest romance I'm reading, and I don't care to hear about whatever biography he's listening to. Comics are our middle ground, where we happily talk about characters we enjoy, and stories we like to read about. We have different comic book preferences, too, but some of them overlap.

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.

Gods of Jade and Shadow 

by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Expected publication: July 23rd 2019

Synopsis (via Goodreads): The Mayan god of death sends a young woman on a harrowing, life-changing journey in this dark, one-of-a-kind fairy tale inspired by Mexican folklore.

“Simultaneously heartbreaking and heart-mending, Gods of Jade and Shadow is a wondrous and magical tale about choosing our own path.”—Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles

The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own.

Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it—and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise, but success could make her dreams come true.

In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey from the jungles of Yucatán to the bright lights of Mexico City—and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld.

So. Excited. For. This.
