I really love West Coast Avengers, but I'm not a fan of this week's cover. It makes Kate look older than she is, and it doesn't match the image of her we've seen the last six issues. I appreciate that they want to give other artists a chance to share their talents and ideas, but it can also be a turnoff when they change too much about the characters. As far as the story goes, I'm really enjoying what Kelly Thompson is doing! She really has a knack for writing Kate, and I've liked her spin on all of the West Coast Avengers.

I'm technically reading Marvel Knights 20th, but it's never guaranteed, haha. The last few weeks I've read them because Jacob wants to show me something, but it's not one that I actively seek out. The story is good, don't get me wrong, but they're not characters I normally read about. All of the people involved (Bruce Banner, Daredevil, Punisher, etc.) have lost the memories that they're supposed to have, and are currently living in a weird alternate version. It's pretty crazy!

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.

Comics Will Break Your Heart

by Faith Erin Hicks

Expected publication: February 12th 2019

Synopsis (via Goodreads): Miriam's family should be rich. After all, her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either-how can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town . . . and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather, and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune.

In her endearing debut novel, cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks pens a sensitive and funny Romeo and Juliet tale about modern romance, geek royalty, and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (Spoiler Alert: love).

How perfect is this book for this post? My Weekly Pull is about the comics I've had pulled for me this week, and my CWW is a book about comics! <3 It also sounds like it's going to be a really great story, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy.
