My Weekly Pull is something I do every Wednesday to show which comics I had pulled for me that week! If you're into comics, or you're looking to start, please join me! If you decide to do your own post, leave a link in the comments. I would love to stop by and check it out!

There's only one for me this week! I recently discovered V.E. Schwab is writing a comic, so of course I added it to my list. I've already called my LCS to make sure they reserve a copy for me!

I've successfully narrowed down my pull list, but I think Jacob is having a little more trouble with his. There are just so many that he's currently invested in! Personally, I treat my comics like I treat my books -- I stop reading them once I've lost interest in the story. 

I'm not entirely sure what's happening on the Domino cover. I've really enjoyed the cover art in the past, so I was a little disappointed when they switched artists for this issue. I don't think this one conveys the characters as well, but it is seasonal. 

We've recently switched from one comic store to another. We stumbled across this new place on a whim and really fell in love with the atmosphere. It's smaller, the staff is super friendly, and they have a larger collection of back issues (which the husband and I love to peruse). We started having issues with our current LCS a few weeks ago, so it just seemed like a good time to switch. 

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Dream Keeper (The Dark Dreamer

Trilogy, #1) by Amber R. Duell

Expected publication: January 29th 2019

Synopsis (via Goodreads): The Sandman is seventeen-year-old Nora’s closest friend and best-kept secret. He has to be, if she doesn’t want a one-way ticket back to the psychiatrist. It took her too long to learn not to mention the hooded figure in her dreams to her mother, who still watches Nora as if she’ll crack. So when Nora’s friends start mysteriously dying gruesome deaths in their sleep, she isn’t altogether surprised when the police direct their suspicion at her. The Sandman is the only one she can turn to for answers. But the truth might be more than she bargained for…

For the last five years, the Sandman has spent every night protecting Nora. When he hid the secret to the Nightmare Lord’s escape inside her dreams, he never expected to fall in love with her. Neither did he think his nemesis would find her so quickly, but there’s no mistaking his cruel handiwork. The Nightmare Lord is tired of playing by the rules and will do anything to release his deadly nightmares into the world, even if that means tormenting Nora until she breaks.

When the Nightmare Lord kidnaps Nora’s sister, Nora must enter enemy territory to save her. The Sandman is determined to help, but if Nora isn’t careful, she could lose even more than her family to the darkness.

I love stories about dreams and the Sandman, but it's not something I've stumbled across too often. I really like the premise for this one, so I'm hoping the story really delivers!
