It’s time for Pull Wisely (why yes, that is an Indiana Jones reference), where we give you short snippets of which comics we’re looking forward to each week—and then ask for your recommendations in the comments. Sadly, due to technical difficulties, we cannot provide you with a video this week, but don’t think for one second we’re not going to arm you with information to take with you to your local comic shop! What kind of animals do you think we are?!
Ours will by no means be a complete list of ALL THE THINGS; after all, we just can’t read everything—or heck, even keep up with how many awesome comics are out there, period. But we know you all love some good stuff, so let us (and your fellow TMSers) know what you’re excited about this week!
