The rest of the nation may be back from a long weekend, but Marvel Comics has stayed on vacation for this week’s comic pull list. I’ve tagged two Marvel Comics to check out, both from the X-Men series. But, if you’re short on time, they’re skip worthy.
DC leads the pack with more Batman R.I.P., plus Secret Six #1, written by Gail Simone. Plus we have the conclusion the the Titans Trigon story-arc. So be sure to pass by the DC section at your comic store.
