The Pull List: The Top 5 Titles of August 26

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!

HELLBOY IN HELL  #7 | DARK HORSE COMICS

Writer: Mike Mignola
Illustrator: Mike Mignola

Hellboy takes a little trip to hell in this new two-part story arc titled, The Hounds of Pluto. Things keep getting worse after Hellboy has his heart ripped out and is sent to Hell all while a parasite slowly consumes his soul in hopes of ending him once and for all. Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola continues his phenomenal work with yet another must read tale about the paranormal detective.

SUPERMAN #43 | DC COMICS

Writer: Gene Luen Yang
Illustrator: John Romita

The latest issue in the Truth arc — which spans a number of different Superman titles — is here. Superman is about to learn exactly how much Lois Lane knows about his secret identity and their relationship continues to dwindle as it has since the New 52’s inception.

EAST OF WEST #20 | IMAGE COMICS

Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Illustrator: Nick Dragotta

Creator Jonathan Hickman brings us a new story arc in this dystopian future entitled, The Nation Rises. This arc delves into the Endless Nation and shows what makes the great machine state tick.

OLD MAN LOGAN  #4 | MARVEL COMICS

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Illustrator: Andrea Sorrentino

Logan continues his journey across Battleworld and discovers a familiar foe who looks to take over his body and his memories. This Secret Wars tie-in has been really solid, but it feels more like set up for the upcoming Old Man Logan series debuting after Secret Wars is done.

Writer: Mark Waid
Illustrator: Jack Kirby and Lee Ferguson with Julian Totino Tedesco for the cover illustration

Marvel is commemorating the 50th anniversary of S.H.I.E.L.D this month with this special oversized issue that includes a never-before-seen sequence penciled by Jack Kirby! The story spans 50 years from the origins of S.H.I.E.L.D to present day and unites Phil Coulson and Nick Fury, Sr. as they attempt to figure out who is the man called D.E.A.T.H..
