The Pull List: Your Weekly Blerd Culture Comic Roundup 🔥

Yo, what's good fam! Welcome back to another edition of The Pull List—your weekly dose of what's hitting different in the comic universe, curated specifically for the culture. We're bringing you that heat with some must-cop titles that'll have you racing to your local comic shop.

This week's lineup is serving straight fire with crossovers you never knew you needed and some storylines that are about to change the game. Let's get into it!

Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor #4

The Time Lord's Final Countdown

Listen, when the Doctor meets the Cybermen, you already know it's about to be wild. This finale's got our Time Lord and Ruby Sunday stepping into what might be their wildest adventure yet. The way they've been writing these characters has given us everything we needed.

Why it's hitting: If you've been riding with the Doctor, you already know this creative team doesn't miss. They're bringing that same energy that makes the show pop, but with that comic book flavor that hits different. Trust us—you don't want this one collecting dust on the shelf.

Prodigy: Slaves of Mars #4

Family Drama Goes Interplanetary

When they said "it's complicated," they weren't talking about Edison Crane's family tree. This issue's about to put all the family business on front street, and Mars is somehow in the mix? Say less.

Why it's hitting: The writing on this joint has been nothing short of genius. It's giving us those big brain moments while keeping the drama thick enough to cut with a knife. If you're looking for that perfect blend of sci-fi and family tension that'll have you theorizing until the next issue drops, this is your stop.

Storm #2

The Weather Goddess Faces Her Biggest Storm Yet

Our queen is going through it, and we're not okay. Storm's fighting for her life after catching some mystery radiation, and now she's got to choose between Night Nurse's super-science or Doctor Voodoo's magical solutions. The stakes? They're sky high.

Why it's hitting: Listen, seeing Storm vulnerable hits different. We're used to seeing her command the elements, but watching her fight for survival? That's the kind of character development we live for. Plus, Doctor Voodoo entering the chat? Say no more.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto #1

The Crossover That's About to Break The Internet

Whoever pitched this crossover deserves all their flowers because THIS. IS. IT. We've got the Heroes in a Half-Shell linking up with Team 7, and April's somehow caught between the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan? The math is mathing!

Why it's hitting: Fam, this is the collaboration we never knew we needed. Ninja meets ninja in what's promising to be four issues of pure chaos in the best way possible. Leonardo and Kakashi in the same panels? Naruto and Mikey's energy in one book? Take our money!

The Power Fantasy #4

When Art Critics Catch These Hands

The streets of Tokyo are shook, and for good reason. Masumi's art exhibit is about to open, and critics are thinking twice about keeping it a buck. Meanwhile, Etienne's out here trying to figure out international travel after... you know... catching a body.

Why it's hitting: Power Fantasy keeps that same energy every issue, and #4 is no different. The dark humor hits, the commentary stays sharp, and the chaos? Unmatched. This series is in the running for Blerdimension's Comic of the Year, and if you're sleeping on it, it's time to wake up.

Milestone Universe: The Shadow Cabinet #1

The Return of Black Excellence in Comics

Listen up fam, because this right here? This is MAJOR. The Milestone Universe is expanding in the wildest way with Rocket stepping into her power like never before. We're talking about a whole secret society of heroes who've been moving in silence, and now they want our girl to join the ranks? Plus, we've got Angela Alva trying to prove she can out-villain her own brother? The drama is REAL.

Why it's hitting: Look, Milestone has always been that blueprint when it comes to authentic Black superhero stories, and with Joseph P. Illidge (one of the original Milestone Media creators) running point on this? It's giving everything it needs to give. This is the kind of storytelling that put Milestone on the map - deep character work, complex politics, and heroes that look like us doing extraordinary things. If you've been following the Milestone Returns saga, this is about to take everything to the next level. And if you're new to the Dakotaverse? This is your perfect jumping-on point to see why Milestone remains undefeated.
