Here it is, the Comic Book Pull List for the Week of Feb. 20. There are no real “must-reads” this week, but there are a few titles which should please. DC Comics edges out Marvel this week by a landslide. Highlights of the week goes to Justice League of America #18, Superman/Batman #46, and Hulk #2. Countdown has been officially taken off the list, read it in store and keep walking.
Marvel Comics
Hulk #2
Written by Jeph Loeb and pencilled by Ed McGuinness, Hulk #2 will showcase Red Hulk’s first battle with Iron Man. It’s Red’s FIRST SMASH, so let’s see how invincible the tin man really is.
Who is the Red Hulk. We have our own ideas. Bruce Banner remains in protective custody.
DC Comics
Batman and the Outsiders #4
The jury is still out on Batman and the Outsiders. Batman’s been up to his old tricks hiding an OMAC from the JLA. And now Green Arrow has been invited to join the team. I was wondering how long the whole Green Arrow without a home would last.
“Is the Emerald Archer’s induction into Batman’s new squad cause for celebration…or destruction? And with Green Arrow’s recent run-ins with the League of Assassins, how will he react to having their former leader — Batgirl — as his teammate?”
Batman Confidential #13
The Joker story arc pulled me into the clutches of Batman Confidential, and now this title is a definite read for me. Hopefully, with that story arc closed Batman Confidential can maintain the same intrigue.
In Batman Confidential #13: Batman and Nightwing become embroiled in the return of a major nemesis who was thought to be dead long ago: The Wrath has returned!
Justice League of America #18
The JLA battles the suicide squad. There’s nothing super amazing here, but the JLA title has been pretty solid since it’s relaunch so I always look forward to the read.
Robin #171
This is an optional read. Robin lost some of his appeal before and after the Ra’s Al Ghul Resurrection arc - the whole Dodge story was a snooze. This is an emotional story that follows Robin’s relationship with Zoanne and his visions of Stephanie.
Superman/Batman #46
There’s a new color of kryptonite in town and Superman must wrestle it from the clutches of Metallo. Zatanna guest stars.
