I have some quibbles – mainly about the characterization of Travis “The Warlord” Morgan – but overall, I’ve been really enjoying this series. You can check out my thoughts on the first issue here. Also, lots of great covers so far.

Green Lantern, Vol. 8

#1A

Xermanico Regular

Release: May 09, 2023

Spinning out of the events of Dark Crisis, the Guardians of Oa at the heart of the Green Lantern Corps have quarantined Sector 2814, home of the planet Earth-and its champion along with it! A heartbreaking defeat has sent Hal reeling, returning home to rediscover his roots…and find the man responsible for ruining his life: Sinestro. From the visionary team of Jeremy Adams and Xermanico (who brought you the epic Flashpoint Beyond) comes a tale of redemption, loss, and finding out that maybe…just maybe…you can go home again. At least if you’re willing to hot-wire a power ring to do it. Also featuring part one of John Stewart: War Journal from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Montos!

Jon Says:

It’s been a while since there’s been a new GL book. I wasn’t sure about picking this one up, but it was added to my Pull List based on purchase history (mostly for the Morrison/Sharp series from a few years back), so I figured I’d check it out. I have enjoyed Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s work elsewhere, after all.

Jon Says:

I went to a Neil Gaiman appearance back in 2017 during which he mentioned that The Silver Age was going to be seeing print from Marvel soon, and I was annoyed that this was greeted with very little enthusiasm by the crowd. Anyway, I’ve been glad that it’s finally happening.

Multiversity: Harley Screws Up The DCU

#3A

Amanda Conner Regular

Release: May 09, 2023

Harley Quinn…and that OTHER Harley Quinn, well, they got a problem. Somehow, someway, one of these Harley Quinns rode off in baby Kal-El’s lil’ rocket ship before he could leave Krypton way back whenever that was. She also, just MAYBE, distracted Barry Allen before that lightning bolt could hit, and don’t get me started about all the other heroes. So now the whoooole DC Universe is all screwed up and these two HQs gotta figure out a way to put baby Supes back in the rocket before Krypton goes boom, Barry back in front of that lightning bolt, and stop that other Harley before…well, you get the picture. It’s going to be bananas.

Speaking of screwing up, I realized after I got home that I missed #2 when it was released. Oops! That will get retconned…I mean, rectified, either on next week’s trip to the shop or by mail.

Release: May 09, 2023

The Corinthian and Dream have a deal: the toothy-eyed nightmare can continue walking the waking world in search of answers about the Smiling Man, but he’s bound to the will of Madison Flynn—who refuses to let him hurt or kill anyone she finds undeserving.

Spirit World, Vol. 2

#1A

Haining Regular

Release: May 09, 2023

From the pages of Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate, a new Chinese hero emerges who’s able to travel to and from the Spirit World, the realm of the dead, and that of the living. Their name is Xanthe, and their superpower is being able to burn items folded from joss paper and immediately turn them into real objects, based on the East Asian practice of burning joss paper at graveyards in order to send resources to ancestors in the Spirit World…except Xanthe can retrieve those items in the world of the living! Their weapon of choice is a large broadsword (because who doesn’t love a big sword when you can choose to use a big sword?!). Xanthe is a master of the dark arts who’s here to give Constantine a run for his money…literally. When Constantine shows up saying Xanthe scammed him into buying something, he finds them and Batgirl Cass Cain fighting an abnormal influx of jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampires) and joins in to help. But when a portal opens up that drags Batgirl into the Spirit World, it’s up to Xanthe and Constantine to travel to the land of the spirits to rescue her! Who knows what other spirits we’ll find in the Spirit World-like that skateboarding boy wearing hanfu with some headphones and a gaping hole in his chest?!

1 thought on “The Pull List For 5.10.23

  1. Quite the mixed bag! No surprises in there, though. They’ all look like good or at least decent reads.
