It’s a big week of comics, both in terms of the sheer number of releases and the notable names at the top. So, let’s get straight into this edition of The Pull so we can get through it all, as I highlight my buys, recommendations, and curiosities from the week of comics, led by two big books hitting notable milestones.

Comics of the Week: Absolute Batman #25/Absolute Wonder Woman #25

Long ago, in a better time, a more reasonable time, both of these comics would be getting chromium covers or holograms or something to emphasize what a big deal it is that they’re reaching issue #25. But that’s not the world we live in. So, instead, we’re going to just have to settle for getting the chance to read two great comics celebrating big milestones. Harumph. Let’s be real, though: Lasting for 25 issues is no joke in 2026! It’s far rarer than it used to be, and it’s important to highlight how special it is that a) these titles and the Absolute line as a whole have proven to be lasting and b) that they continue to be great.

That last point is essential. These are great comics, and each of these issues should feature big moments both Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman have been building to. Frankly, that’s a far better way to celebrate reaching 25 issues than a chromium cover.

Maybe not a hologram, though. I really like hologram covers!

Trade/Graphic Novel of the Week: Love Bullet Vol. 2

I loved, loved, loved the first volume of this Yen Press manga series from inee…and then it disappeared until now after it debuted in early December 2025. There’s a reason for that, but better late than never, I’d say. I’m really excited to see where this story — which is about a young woman who died before she found love and becomes a gun-toting cupid in the afterlife because of her lack of love — goes, but one way or another, this series comes with a high floor because inee’s art is so exceptional. I cannot wait to read more of it.
