One of the most annoying things in the world is when people mistakenly assume that all local television weather people are also trained meteorologists. That is not the case.

At some point in every comic book superhero's life, they find themselves contemplating the nature of their existence and asking themselves, "What's the point of all this? Why guard the galaxy? Why protect the forces of creation? Why fight to win a game of dodgeball? Why?" Pondering those questions is the reason comic books exist, and each of this week's best new comics focus on coming to a variety of different answers.

Imagine a world in which reporting has been replaced by infotainment produced by journalists with head-mounted broadcasting devices, who race on foot to crime scenes trying to be the first to upload reports of what went down. It's depressing to contemplate what sort of impact this would have on the public's perception of reality - but you know what's even more horrifying to think about? Lovecraftian monsters, that's what. It's time for The Pull List.

We love nothing more than sitting down with a stack of comic books and just getting lost in the fantasy and adventure of worlds nothing like our own. We've always covered comics that caught our eye, but at the same time, we've always wanted to read, share, and spread the word about more.

A potent blend of love, lust, deception and betrayal can turn almost any story into a sublime reading experience. This week's best comics have them all in spades.

Last week was yet another great week for comics about superheroes coming back from the dead and averting the apocalypse, but in the off-chance that you've been in a mood for some new series that are a little less "KRAK! POW!" and more "What's really important in life?" then these are the new books you should read.
