I don't think my husband knows what it means to do something early, haha! He didn't send his pull list for this week until the wee hours of Wednesday morning, which left me zero time to create a post. He likes to procrastinate until the very last minute, and it drives me bananas.
Firefly,
Transformers,
and
Spider-Man Life Story are all comics that I'm really enjoying! Greg Pak has managed to recreate one of my favorite television shows with authentic characters and an enjoyable storyline.
Transformers has completely started over, so we get to see the characters before they became the names we know today. Zdarksy is spinning an interesting perspective for Spider-Man, and I've really liked seeing how he would've lived during different decades.
I highly recommend all three of these comics! They're new-ish, so it wouldn't take very long to catch up! Also, I'm seriously considering giving everyone my husband's email, so we can make reminding him to send his list a group effort. ;) Once I have a little more time, I'm going to start reading
Daredevil and
Guardians of the Galaxy from his list. I'm not entirely sure what
War of the Realms entails, but it looks interesting!
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.

Epic,funny,andsweepinglyromantic,TheLastTruePoetsoftheSeaisanastonishingdebutaboutthestrengthittakestoswimupfromawreck.Synopsis (via Goodreads): From a stunning new voice in YA literature comes an epic, utterly unforgettable contemporary novel about a lost shipwreck, a missing piece of family history, and weathering the storms of life.
"Profound and page-turning."
--Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Circe
The Larkin family isn't just lucky-they persevere. At least that's what Violet and her younger brother, Sam, were always told. When the Lyric sank off the coast of Maine, their great-great-great-grandmother didn't drown like the rest of the passengers. No, Fidelia swam to shore, fell in love, and founded Lyric, Maine, the town Violet and Sam returned to every summer.
But wrecks seem to run in the family: Tall, funny, musical Violet can't stop partying with the wrong people. And, one beautiful summer day, brilliant, sensitive Sam attempts to take his own life.
Shipped back to Lyric while Sam is in treatment, Violet is haunted by her family's missing piece-the lost shipwreck she and Sam dreamed of discovering when they were children. Desperate to make amends, Violet embarks on a wildly ambitious mission: locate the Lyric, lain hidden in a watery grave for over a century.
She finds a fellow wreck hunter in Liv Stone, an amateur local historian whose sparkling intelligence and guarded gray eyes make Violet ache in an exhilarating new way. Whether or not they find the Lyric, the journey Violet takes-and the bridges she builds along the way-may be the start of something like survival.
Epic, funny, and sweepingly romantic, The Last True Poets of the Sea
is an astonishing debut about the strength it takes to swim up from a wreck.
The Last True Poets of the Sea sounds absolutely amazing! I love the idea of a lost shipwreck, and two people trying to find it, but also the story behind their family's survival. Can you imagine swimming away from something like that and being the sole survivor?
