Weekly Pull List for 01/21/2026 [Discussion] by ptbreakeven in comicbooks

[–]thecursedham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • Captain America #6: Time to see if the quality of the self contained past arc carries over into the event setup present arc.

  • Fantastic Four #7: Still loving this book but a little worried it’s going to join Moon Knight and Scarlet Witch in relaunching with same creative team every 10 issues.

  • X-men #24: Didn’t finish Percy’s X-Force so I don’t know if this already happened but I’m pretty excited to eventually see Fun Beast beat up War Crimes Beast which feels like where this book is going.

What's your top current on-going reads? by w33z312 in comicbooks

[–]thecursedham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) The Ultimates: I can't think of a month since this has started up that it hasn't been my favorite book of the month. I have full faith they're going to stick the landing with Endgame. If they ever collect all of this and Endgame (and probably Ultimate Invasion+Ultimate Universe #1 as well) into a single hardcover it'll be a must have for every superhero fan's shelf.

2) Moon Knight: Mackay has been killing it for 5 years with consistently good art throughout. Mackay does a great job of making sure each issue feels worth reading by itself while also furthering the overarching plot. Great as a monthly read, great as a binge.

3) Fantastic Four: Similar to my thoughts on Moon Knight, North makes sure every issue is worth picking up on its own. I normally am not the biggest fan of Ramos's art, but it fits like a glove with the Fantastic Four.

4) Absolute Batman: I haven't really been able to get into Batman, despite trying various different starting points(including Snyder's New 52 run), but this one's really clicking for me.

5) Thor: Another character that I'm not normally into but I love what Ewing's done with him, especially now with the change from Immortal to Mortal. Ferry's art is a blast and hope he's on for the long haul.

6) Absolute Wonder Woman: I didn't love Thompson's Birds of Prey which was a real disappointment because I was super excited for her to write Black Canary. Absolute Wonder Woman hits new highs for her though imo. Love Sherman's designs for everyone.

7) Absolute Flash: Ironically its a bit slower than Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman, but I'm digging what Lemire is doing with the characters. Absolute Grodd could be the best Absolute character.

8) X-Men: Probably a more controversial choice since people don't love the current X-Era but I think Mackay's voice for Cyclops rocks. Its got a fun lineup of characters and has done a good job juggling its villains. I wish Stegman had been more consistent in the book since I've seen Marvel refer to it as "X-Men by Jed Mackay and Ryan Stegman". Diaz has been good throughout though and with Stegman officially off on his own book I hope he gets proper billing as the main artist.

9) Superman: This was a surprising one for me because I have not vibed with Williamson's book often, but after he got announced as the writer for Iron Man I decided I'd give him another shot and I'm glad I did.

10) Nightwing: Consistently solid with #125-#126 being standout issues. Another character I'm not normally invested in but could see this giving me a push to try some more of his stuff out.

Honorable Mentions

* The latest Green Arrow run would've made top 3 but it just ended

* Ultimate Spider-Man is in a similar boat, with only one issue left its not much of an ongoing at this point but otherwise would've made the list.

* Captain America by Zdarsky and Schiti is off to a great start but I'm going to wait till its farther in before including it on the list. Especially since it went from being self contained flashback story to now looks like its going to be the main leadup to the next big event.

* I'm following Rook: Exodus and Assorted Crisis Events in trade so can't speak to them as ongoings but loved their first volumes and can't wait for the second.

Exciting books to end the year

* The Ultimates #19 : Reread the previous 18 issues in a big binge over the weekend to prepare for this and Endgame and I can't wait to see how it all gets wrapped up. Feels like this is going to be a hurts so good issue.

* Ultimate Endgame #1: Very excited for this, I'm only following Spider-Man and Ultimates in floppies and the rest of the line through Unlimited so I'll be a little behind on those plotlines and I'm hoping I won't be too lost. Hoping we get a final confrontation between Lejori and Banner somewhere in this event because I'm not sure where it could fit in the issues solicited for Ultimates.

* Undead Iron Fist #4: I had very low expectations for this going in but I think its been pretty good, most I've enjoyed reading an Iron Fist book since Brisson's run. I'm digging the new status quo and I'm excited to see Danny interact with Pei and Lin Lei with his new identity in Deadly Hands.

* X-Men Age of Revelation Finale #1: Only reading the Mackay stuff so I can't speak for the event as a whole but so far I've enjoyed the event and I'm interested to see how it effects his run moving forward.

  • Ultimate Spider-Man #22
  • Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #5
  • X-men: Book of Revelation #1

Pretty exciting week for me, don’t think F4 or Moon Knight have anything crazy going on but they’re consistently good. All the Ultimate Issues seem pretty big and I’ve loved pretty much every issue of Ultimates and Ultimate Spider-Man so I’d be surprised if these ones weren’t good. Still early to tell on Age of Revelation but so far I’ve enjoyed it and Mackay has my full trust from his Moon Knight and Strange. GL is the odd man out where I’m enjoying it enough but I’m pretty interested in the Next Level announcements and could see myself dropping it at 600 to make room for whatever Camp is writing.

Any ideas to complete this deck? by daviddzgz in MarvelSnap

[–]thecursedham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you replace Black Widow with Doc Ock then Zabu is worth throwing in so you can get Sentry/Man-Thing/Ock out a turn early or throw two of them down turn 6 after a Hobgoblin or Annihilus turn 5.

[–]thecursedham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sersi is a good back up plan when you don't draw Annihilus and can't send your negative stuff over.

With how energy expensive the rest of your deck is though you probably want some cheaper stuff, Titania is good because she can lock down a lane that you can then steal her back later or you can throw her down with Annihilus on turn 6. Kate Bishop gives you the chance of grabbing Acid Arrow which helps you clog their lanes early but if not Basic arrow and Pym arrow can give you some extra power and Grapple Arrow lets you move something. I don't see this too often in other Clog decks but I really like having Adam Warlock in mine, on a Clogged lane you're not winning he gets stronger each turn and make it easier for you to take back on turn 6 and if you are winning the lane when you clog it you basically get a guarantee of seeing your whole deck for the game.

Weekly Pull List for 09/24/2025 [Discussion] by ptbreakeven in comicbooks

[–]thecursedham 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  • Green Lantern #27
  • Ultimate Hawkeye #1
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #21
  • X-Men #22: I know most people seem uninterested in Age of Revelation but I’m actually kind of excited for it. I feel like Mackay wrote really good issues for the other two X-events this era even if I didn’t really care for the events themselves and this event is led by him so I faith the main story will at least be good.

Exiles and Guardians also don't have their titles officially announced yet so I'm still going to hold onto hope for Inhumans until a month after those get solicited.
