Pull or Drop, Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and oh fuck this shit i’m bored already

OH HI.
I’m Scott, i’m the co-reviewer for Wednesday Already. Unlike Justin, i’ve only recently been getting back into reading comics weekly. I’m taking this as an opportunity to review books from something of an outsider’s perspective. Not long ago I walked into the LCS and ended up frustrated as to what to buy.
This is a problem, folks. If I, as a reader of comics for over a decade can get discouraged at where to dig into a few weekly books, what does that say for a new reader or (gasp) some kid who wants to get into comics? I hadn’t been out of the game that long, and already everything had chugged along so far I was lost. So in my column i’ll be establishing a new pull list. Picking up a few books a week, and deciding if I should Pull or Drop each one. If the book is good enough to warrant another buy, i’ll keep picking it up. This will hopefully strike a nice balance, allowing someone with a knowledge of comics to rate each individual books accessiblity.
I grew up on a steady diet of X-Men books but my current taste is… well, I have no idea. I love Runaways, but I Wait For The Trade on that one. I’m an unabashed Bendis apologist and read most of his stuff. I’ll update this later as the column evolves as does my pull list.
If anything technical comes up, let Justin know. I don’t know anything about this shit.
Also if you want to contact me for any reason, feel free. I’m fun as fuck.
