The Pull List: 8/27/2014
Must read comics of the week
Batman Eternal #21
In this issue, Alfred will be injected with fear toxin and dragged into Arkham Asylum.
Bobs Burgers #1
The surprise hit show from Fox’s Sunday Night lineup can now be enjoyed in comic form thanks to Dynamite Entertainment.
Bodies #2
After the very awesome first issue spanning multiple eras and genres, I would be amiss not recommending the very cool murder mystery.
Guardians of the Galaxy #18
Before Bendis brought back Star-Lord 18 issues ago, Quill was last scene pulling a Butch and Sundance with Nova Rich Ryder. Now, we get to find out how Quill crawled out of the Cancerverse and just what exactly happened to Nova.
POP #1
What if today’s pop stars were genetically engineered by media’s head honchos?
Secret Origins #5
So, the thing about this Secret Origins series is it is covering characters that were so recently rebooted thanks to the New 52. I would love origin, but it needs to be for a character who’s history is either unknown or needs elaborating on. Cyborg? No. Red Arrow? Maybe. Mera? Oh, hell yeah!
Silver Surfer #5
Silver Surfer reteams with his former Defenders team members Hulk and Dr. Strange to take on Shuma Gorath. And of course, Dawn’s life hangs in the balance. Again!
Uncanny Avengers #23
Kang is no longer a threat. The Avengers have gotten back from their time stream adventure. But there are still a lot of consequences to deal with.
Wayward #1
Described as a Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a new generation, a teenager reunites with her mother in Japan only to come face to face with monsters threatened by her potential as a hero.
Wolverine #12
So they had plans to kill of Wolverine for awhile. This issue will feature Sabretooth getting his last licks in screwing with Wolvie once more before Wolverine finally keels over.
Spoilers for the Batman Eternal summary! Also it’s spelt Richard Rider, it was misspelt in the book. Speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy, Bendis really shat all over previous continuity; Quill didn’t have his elemental gun when he went into the Cancerverse (he used is dual SMG’s) and he had also used the Cosmic Cube before but Bendis made it seem like it was new to him. Also Peter and Richard are normally the type of characters that mess around and joke, but when they went into the Cancerverse they knew it was a suicide mission and they were serious, why does Bendis feel the need to turn every character into a constantly quipping banter-machine? /rant

I write these before new comic day so I had no idea how Batman Eternal would turn out. The spoiler is both the cover and the solicit. I’m not sure what DC was thinking with that one.
