Hi, everybody! Mara has stepped down, so I will be your new weekly pull list person, recommending my favorites of the week. It’s October 7th, 2015, so that means a whole week’s worth of comics come out today. It’s exciting, but also daunting given how many amazing comics there are, so here are my top picks of the week. Hopefully this will narrow your own pull list down a bit or you might possibly find a new favorite. LET’S GET THIS STARTED!
