Important!

The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #1.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the latest issue of Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, And Jordie Bellaire'S Absolute Wonder Woman or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on a recent community decision we're expanding the Top Ten and populated the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comments to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

Any tips?

I'm wondering if there is an app or website where I can keep track of all my comics (digital and paper) and graphic novels I own and also track what I've read and rate what I've read and then also give me suggestions of what I may like based on what I've read.

So I discovered that hawkman appeared in flash comics #1 along with the flash, which made me wonder why the two don’t team up more sense they appeared in the same comic together. I think the two could be an interesting pair, I don’t know much about hawkman but he seems cool and the flash is one of my childhood favs.

I’m working on a story right now we’re human with low level or no superpowers fight and combat against powerful super-humans. I’ve had a bit of a rot deciding what methods would be engaging for the story and narrative. Does anybody have a comic book, book, or film recommendations that could get my creative juices flowing for engaging ways for normal humans to combat superheroes and also to make really well choreographed superhuman fights. Thanks in advance.

Random civilians count but particularly actual characters?

I can't recall a time when he ever got that violent, honestly.

I’ve seen plenty of YT summaries of storylines but I’ve only recently started ACTUALLY reading. Picked up the new USM and liked it so much I started Hickmans FF run(finished this morning), but now I wanna step into DC territory. Preferably not a super popular char cuz I like going in without any real understanding of them (realized this during FF), but any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry for the long winding post, and thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Is there any way to read the Golden Age Omnibuses Volumes 7-10 online or are they locked to physical copies? I've really been wanting to read all the Golden Age stuff but I cannot find these anywhere. Not really willing to pay a premium for them.

Hey comic book lovers, I wanted to share something for fans of mythology and fantasy! If you enjoy comics with mythical creatures and rich lore, you might like The Mer Chronicles trilogy by Erinn Stevens. It’s an adventure-filled story about sirens and their complex relationships with humans. Here's a visual of the trilogy set for those curious!
Would love to hear if anyone else enjoys mythology-themed books alongside their comics! 😊

Hi. I am trying to remember and find this comic book I used to own. It was a thick comic book, with anthology of separate stories. The only story I remember is a variation on John carpenter’s the thing. I know it’s not much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

There's been no giveaway comics published for what? three years? And yet the web site and its social media feeds keep limping along putting out listicals and holding out hope for next Halloween. (Used to buy packs of them in advance for trick-or-treaters.)

Currently trying to figure out which way to go with my collection and it made me curious as to which way the majority of readers lean.

TLDR: Is there a website that will tell me all of the books (Omnis / Epics / TPB's) where a specific issue will appear?

Long version :

I'm having a bit of an OCD moment and trying to map the Krakoa era in (what my personal brain would call...) a nice organised structure. It's taken a lot of digging to find the order to read each of the issues - for example despite the Excalibur OHC collecting them in number order apparently there is a lot of jumping around to other titles in between.

For some random issues it's not easy to find out if they're collected in a TPB or OHC / Omni, so it got me thinking, is there a site that maps which issues are collected in which books as issues are likely to appear multiple times due to the cross over of general marvel events. for example "The Incredible Hulk issue 150" appears in the book "uncanny x-men - epic collection 4" (its always darkest before the dawn) ; but it's also likely to appear in one of the Hulk Epics, and probably a few omnis or other books too right?

Picture below of my brain-dump to make a Krakoa era tracker - I'm trying to fill in all of the 'collected in paperback/hardback' columns

Just a thought I had. Growing up (I'm in my thirties now) I mostly read Spider-man, Daredevil and the Fantastic Four. Thanks to a collection I had access to I had a mostly chronological read and to this day I feel like I now those characters, how they behave, how they think almost. Yet in the successive twenty years I read a bit of everything but don't have that feeling, e.g. Thor: I the sagas that came out mid-2000s (around the Ragnarok event, then Siege etc) and recently I read the full Simonson run and the Aaron one. I loved both runs. Yet I never feel like I fully know the character. Is it 1) because I'm not 9 anymore, 2) because of less internal monologue in the stories or 3) because I never read the full early runs (aside from the first year or so of Stan Lee's)?

I'd love your opinions, thank you

For the past couple of weeks, I've seen many many articles talking about how Ultimate Hawkeye is non-binary, two spirit, etc. Frankly, it was exhausting. That seemed to be the whole focus of the character and in my experience tends to lead to lackluster stories. As such, I wasn't in a hurry to read the issue.

I finally did read the story and guess what? None of that was actually in the comic. It wasn't a great story, but it was fine. His/Their? costume is pretty sweet. His anti-establishment/corporation attitude is pretty cliche. The self-printing quiver is an awesome idea.

I think the character has potential and UA has been a pretty good read thus far. What I've learned here is to just read the book and decide for myself and ignore the hype, no matter what it is.

hey all. I’m looking to start selling some of my comics. does anyone know of any (free!) websites or apps that can help me determine the value of each comic? I’d kick myself if i sold a $100 comic for $2

covers are supposed to advertise a comic by giving the best representation of the interior contents. sadly, over the years, not only have many covers failed in this regards, but many have been intentionally deceptive. I here propose some rules or best practices that I think comic creators should follow in order to avoid the worse miss-steps:

1. no variant covers

2. no gimmick covers

3. covers must be relevant to the comic's contents, usually by presenting a scene that actually occurs within it (some exceptions apply)

4. covers should be drawn in the same style as the interior art, preferably by the same artist
