Indie Pull List - Week of 25/03

Just wanted to use this time to give a quick acknowledgement/thank you to the resources I use to cull my information from the vast jungle of this electronic spider's web.  I get my initial list of what's coming from the awesome people at Collected Comics Library.  They have a cool website devoted to all things comics and I highly recommend everybody go check them out.  Without their hard work I would have to do WAY more work on my own and that would suck.  After I get the list there's some various fact checking and image gathering that goes on and then I slap some sort of a rejoinder underneath the splashy cover pic and there you have it!




When did Dark Horse start publishing Archie books?  For some reason I think that's cool.  Anywho, let's move on to the assorted legalities that need to be cleared.

All of this information is suggested.  Sometimes books get delayed, sometimes they get cancelled all together. Most of the time the trades will be available.  Prices are also suggested and subject to change at the discretion of the shop owner or the publisher themselves. 

So, without further adieu and absolutely no fanfare, we begin!






Twilight Zone Vol. 3: The Way Back




Between J. Michael Straczynski and the enduring appeal of the original TV Show I'm surprised there are only 3 volumes. This particular volume features a story about a whiskey soaked private detective, (is there any other kind?), who travels back in time to solve his last case. The Twilight Zone-y twist is: what will his actions in the past do to the present? Overall, not the most original territory, but it does sound like it would be an old Twilight Zone episode and, I can only assume, that's got to the be the point. Plus J. Michael is a solid writer who knows his way around all things geek. This new series should be fun.


Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
SRP: 15.99
Contains: Twilight Zone (2014) #9-12
CRD: 07/04



UQ Holder! Vol. 4


I love UQ Holder! and it's author Ken Akamatsu. This is his psuedo, sort of, sequel to the amazing Mahou Sensei Negima! Akamatsu is very good at balancing all the elements that go in to good manga and not have any of them take over and tip the scales in to an illogical mess or an ecchi fuelled waste of time. This is the story of Tota Konoe who just wants to get to the top of the Mars Tower and be the best he can be. Through a series of events he becomes involved with a group of immortals called UQ Holder! Crazy good. Do yourself a favor and branch out.


Publisher: Kodansha
SRP: 10.99
Contains: 208 pages (if I had to guess 10-13 chapters)
CRD: 24/03



Morning Glories Vol. 8


Spirit of honesty: I know nothing about this, but I have heard very good things anytime it is brought up and 8 volumes bodes well for the series being good.  I also didn't really want to just do two books when there was such a plethora to choose from.  From what I'm reading this actually sounds like it could have been a Japanese Manga.  Brilliant but troubled schoolkids, shadowy conspiracies, catholic uniforms, supernatural elements.  I don't know about you guys but all of that is getting me a little excited.  I'm going to have to put this on my radar.  If any of the aforementioned traits appeal to you, maybe you should to.
