Here at Kaboooooom we love our comic books, but if you’re new to the game or just don’t frequent the local comic shop, it can be hard to know where to start. For that, we’re here to help. Every week we’ll share with you our recommendations for what you should be checking out and what you need to know before you crack that cover – it’s The Pull List!

“THE ROAD’S END” Nothing is more damaging than misplaced trust.
You can never go wrong with The Walking Dead — the comic, that is, the television series never seems to be able to reach the dramatic highs of Robert Kirkman’s original tale. And though issue #168 is by no means a friendly entry point for new readers, seeing as the issue ends another unbelievable arc, it’s a must read for those who’ve faithfully followed along all these years. And for those who haven’t, well, you’ve got some serious catching up to do. Luckily, the first 12 issues are available with Comixology Unlimited (snag your free trial) and you can find the rest in trade paperback, hardcover, and massive omnibus collections.

This Week’s Must Read: Aquaman #24 [Review]

“CROWN OF ATLANTIS” finale! Hopelessly at odds with the people of Atlantis, Arthur is finally stripped of his crown. In his place, and to Aquaman’s horror, the previously imprisoned Atlantean fundamentalist Corum Rath is installed as the new king! Every step of AQUAMAN REBIRTH has been building to this!
It’s a toss-up for me on this light week which story finale I’m looking forward to the most. If pressed, I have to go with Aquaman since I’m honestly not sure where the story is going to go from here and I like that surprise factor — a rare thing in these days of previews spoiling every major crossover and event book.
