Pull List: Comics Released 12/14/11

After a slow week last week, the comics industry comes roaring back with a lot of stuff, including, of course, lots and lots of graphic novels and hardcovers for you to spend your hard-earned money on as gifts for other people. Some of the highlights:

  • DC has Absolute Promethea Volume 3 coming out. And about a gazillion action figures, including the Arkham City line.
  • Also of interest: DC is rebooting The Ray as a four-issue miniseries, something we suspect we’ll see a lot of as DC flushes crap like “Voodoo” and has to replace it with something actually worth reading.
  • “Avengers X-Sanction” starts this week. You know, it’s actually appealling, Cable handing the Avengers their collective head. But will it go meta and have him shoot Bendis?
  • “Witchblade” has hit 150 issues. Somehow. Who still buys it?
  • Dark Horse finally stops putting out the Bettie Page junk this week and gets back to publishing comics. Their big launch this week? “The Strain”, and if you buy the first issue digitally, you can win the whole thing. That’s great, guys, but when are you going to support a few frickin’ apps?
  • IDW has new Locke and Key this week. You’ve already stopped reading this and are running down to the FLCS to buy it.

Let us know what’s on your pull list in the comments!
