The Pull List: The Top 5 Titles of August 19
It’s Wednesday which means that we’ve got a whole new set of titles to watch out for in this week’s Pull List!
JUSTICE LEAGUE #43 | DC COMICS
Writer: Geoff Johns
Illustrator: Jason Fabok
Part 3 of The Darkseid War marches on as Batman becomes a God, thanks to Metron’s Mobius Chair and Superman is forced to join sides with his arch nemesis Lex Luthor. To make matters worse, Grail continues to complicate things for Wonder Woman as she leads the attack against the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid. This story has not disappointed as each issue continues to ramp up the action and is proving to be a major event for DC this summer.
DOCTOR FATE #3 | DC COMICS
Writer: Paul Levitz
Illustrator: Sonny Liew
Khalid Nassour’s life keeps getting stranger after being attacked by a pack of evil dogs and being told by a talking helmet that he is the new Doctor Fate. According to the talking helmet, he must stop a huge blood sacrifice and save New York from a massive flood. This reimagining of Doctor Fate by Paul Levitz and Sonny Liew has been a refreshing and imaginative take on the character.
STAR WARS #8 | MARVEL COMICS
Writer: Jason Aaron
Illustrator: Stuart Immonen
Luke Skywalker is back — after last issue’s Obi-Wan one-shot — as he continues his journey to learn more about the Jedi by heading to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Stuart Immonen takes over as the series regular artist and is best known for his work on Nextwave, Ultimate X-Men and The New Avengers.
HOUSE OF M #1 | MARVEL COMICS
Writer: Dennis Hopeless
Illustrator: Marco Failla with Kris Anka for the cover illustration
This new Secret Wars tie-in is about a unique part of Battleworld where Magneto and the House of Magnus have conquered all resistance and rule with an iron fist. His children live as royals and that can come with its own problems as absolute power can be very corruptive. The best Secret Wars tie-ins have been good at creating a new world with an interesting what if scenario so this book show a lot of promise.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: RENEW YOUR VOWS #4 | MARVEL COMICS
Writer: Dan Slott
Illustrator: Adam Kubert
Spider-Man has proven that he will do anything to protect his family but can he stop the god-like Regent? Keeping his loved ones out of harm’s way will be difficult as his daughter joins the fight this issue. This has been one of my favourite Battleworld stories and I hope Adam Kubert does more Spider-Man because his art has been amazing.
