It’s the last release week of 2023, so you know what that means: Publishers are releasing a deluge of annuals and one-shots! Let’s get into a weird week of release in the latest edition of The Pull.

Comic of the Week: Duke #1

I’m not a big G.I. Joe guy, but based on Duke’s appearance in The Transformers, the energy around the Energon Universe, and the glory of the Tom Reilly and Jordie Bellaire art team, this is a tough one to pass on — or to not be enthusiastic about overall. If this universal endeavor has as much juice as it has seemed so far, then this one’s going to be another hit. We shall see, though!
