My Weekly Pull [47] & Can't Wait Wednesday [17]

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, there's a link-up at the bottom. I would love to stop by and check it out!

Uncanny X-Men #2 by Ed Brisson, R.B. Silva, Javier Garron
West Coast Avengers #4 by Kelly Thompson, Stefano Caselli

Jacob's comics for the week!
Optimus Prime #25 by John Barber, Kei Zama
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Urban Legends #7 by Gary Carlson, Frank Fosco, Kevin Eastman
Marvel Knights 20th #2 (of 6) by Matthew Rosenberg, Niko Henrichon, Kaare Andrews, Donny Cates
Punisher #4 by Matthew Rosenberg, Szymon Kudranski, Greg Smallwood
Web of Venom Carnage Born #1 by Donny Cates, Danilo Beyruth, Kyle Hotz

The first issue of Uncanny X-Men was lengthy but fantastic! I wasn't sure how three different writers would write the same story, but it all worked out in the end. There was one main story, and then each writer wrote one of their own. As always, there's something dangerous happening in the world, and it's up to the X-Men to figure it out!

West Coast Avengers is still amazing! There was a pretty big twist at the end of the last issue, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

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.

Synopsis (via Goodreads): Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions—like grief. And love. He thinks he’s defective. His family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.

As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can’t turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn’t go as planned. Esme’s lessons in love seem to be working…but only on herself. She’s hopelessly smitten with a man who’s convinced he can never return her affection.

With Esme’s time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he’s been wrong all along. And there’s more than one way to love.


I loved Helen Hoang's The Kiss Quotient (read my review here), and look forward to re-reading it again in the future! I stumbled across The Bride Test yesterday, and thought it would be the perfect book for this week's Can't Wait Wednesday post! I'm anticipating unique characters, a fun story, and a lovely romance.
