Welcome back to The Pull List, Wednesday Warriors! It’s that time of the week again; time to storm the gates and bring home a fresh stack of new comics. Before you head to the shop, arm yourself with a few recommendations. And for you big spenders out there, we also have a complete list of this week’s releases. This week’s got Godzilla (instant buy), anarchist scientists, and Pug Dredd.

GODZILLA: OBLIVION #1

Godzilla: Oblivion #1 from IDW Publishing

Written By: Joshua Fialkov
Art By: Brian Churilla
Colors By: Jay Fotos
Letters By: Chris Mowry

Godzilla is the best. Hands down, the best. IDW has done simply amazing stuff with the Godzilla property, producing one fantastic comic series after another (including the perfect mini-series Godzilla: Half Century War).  The latest is this bad boy: Godzilla: Oblivion. Writer Josh Fialkov and artist Brian Churilla give us an action filled first issue that features dimension travel, destroyed worlds, tons of monsters, and a human race that worships Godzilla. In short, it’s awesome. Fialkov has a lot of love for these monsters and it shows in the story and dialogue. Churilla is a beast of a cartoonist and one of the best storytellers in comics. You can’t go wrong with Godzilla. Always bet on Godzilla. So say we all.

BLACK SCIENCE #21

Written By: Rick Remender
Art By: Matteo Scalera
Colors By: Moreno Dinisio
Letters By: Rus Wooton

Black Science is a comic series that is so consistently good you almost forget to mention it. It’s reliable, like a Butterfinger candy bar or The Simpsons seasons five through nine. There’s always good stuff packed into every morsel and it always delivers. The story of Grant and his path of destruction through an untold number of universes is one that unfolds slowly, revealing layer after layer of intrigue. Just when you think it can’t go on, that everything is too broken and the characters are too far gone, the floor drops out and the rules shift. The only constant in this series (other than quality) is change, and that is a good thing. Grant is a hard character love, but Black Science is an easy comic to adore. Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera just keep pumping out this science ficiton masterpiece like it’s blood from a severed artery, thick with a haunting and sadistic beauty.

JUDGE DREDD #4

Judge Dredd #4 from IDW Publishing

Written By: Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas
Art By: Dan McDaid
Colors By: Ryan Hill
Letters By: Shawn Lee

Judge Dredd is another property IDW is slaying with. Sure, the 2000 AD series is still going strong and it’s great, but these IDW books have been a level of insanity that is hard to quantify. This issue is more of that madness. More awesome story from Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas. More incredible art from Dan McDaid (dude is unreal). More muddy, grimy colors from Ryan Hill. More puppies wearing Judge helmets. Yeah, this issue has a pug puppy wearing a Judge helmet and it’s name is Pug Dredd. If that doesn’t immediately sell you on this series, then you are truly lost. We don’t know exactly where this story is going and we don’t know how long these guys can keep this up, but we are loving the hell out of this ride. Now to petition for a Pug Dredd solo series…

That’s it for us this week. Sound off in the comments on your favorite titles and let us know what you think everybody needs to be reading!
