It’s another big week of releases, and some tough choices are going to have to be made, but make them I shall. So let’s look into all those as I share my buys, recommendations, and curiosities from the week of comics in another edition of The Pull.

Comic of the Week: The Flash #31

This pick amidst a sea of other compelling and even far more high profile options comes down to three things: I love Wally West (aka The Flash), Ryan North is maybe the most compelling modern writing option for the character and concept, and Gavin Guidry is a terribly underrated artist who has just been waiting for the right project. Will that add up to something great? I’m not sure. I could have read this already. I didn’t. I prefer reading in print, and I suspect to enjoy this issue properly, it’ll take just that for me. But this is the most excited I’ve been about a new Flash run in quite some time. I’m all in with this.

Trade/Graphic Novel of the Week: The Power Fantasy Vol. 3

I already wrote about this arc multiple times, and it’s for good reason. If The Power Fantasy was already a very good comic, this is the arc where it becomes great. This arc is a mind bender, a mind blower, and a good example of why some people should just mind their own business, all while being an unreal showcase for the prodigious talents of one Caspar Wijngaard. If you’ve been ultra trade waiting The Power Fantasy, i.e. waiting for just the right moment to get onboard, this is it. Go to the store. Buy the first three trades. Immerse yourself in its glory, because what comes next is going to be bananas. It’s so good.
