Pull Wisely: The Mary Sue’s Weekly Comic Counsel and Chat
So many comics, so little time...
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. And because we like giving you info in a way that’s pleasing to you, you’ve got the video up top, our Top 10 written out below, or you can earn extra credit by checking out both. The possibilities are endless.
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!
GIANT DAYS #5
Giant Days is a mini-series about a group of girls at university, and it has some of the snappiest dialogue I’ve seen in a comic. This is the second to last issue, and it’s definitely worth checking out!
Writer: John Allison
Artist: Lissa Treiman
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
LUMBERJANES #16
HOLY KATHLEEN HANNA, Lumberjanes won an Eisner Award and was just nominated for a Harvey!
Noelle Stevenson teased that #17 is the issue to look out for, so get warmed up here with #16.
Writers: Shannon Watters, Noelle Stevenson
Artist: Brooke A. Allen
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
HAWKEYE #22
This is the end. Well, it’s the end of Matt Fraction and David Aja’s incredible Hawkeye run.
Prepare yourselves for some feelings, here, y’all.
Writer: Matt Fraction
Artist: David Aja

BLACK CANARY #2
The first issue of Black Canary started off with a bang, and #2 is looking to carry that momentum. Who’s trying to kill Dinah? Why are they doing it? Where can I get those boots she’s wearing?
Writer: Brenden Fletcher
Artist: Annie Wu
Publisher: DC Comics
STEVEN UNIVERSE vol. 1
Steven Universe’s draw has been undeniable, so if the show is proving to not be enough for you, give this trade a shot.
