Pull It Together: Leaving Megalopolis, The Wicked + The Divine, and… Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman?!

Welcome to Pull It Together, where the goal is to narrow the massive field of comic book titles to the ones you shouldn’t overlook. It isn’t about what’s on my pull list, it’s about what could be on yours!

Exciting things this week! Okay, I’m excited about comics every week, but STILL. Comixology is having a sale on one of my favorite comics series ever, Gotham Central. If you’ve always wondered why people care deeply about Renee Montoya, that story starts here, along with the stories of a whole cast of men and women struggling to be good, effective cops in a corrupt force within a city that condones and embraces vigilantism. But there’s also plenty of new comics to take a look at this week, like Edge of Spider-verse #2, featuring a universe where Gwen Stacy became the web-slinger; Leaving Megalopolis, available for the first time to folks who didn’t back its Kickstarter; and Jim Henson’s Storyteller: Witches #1, the first in a four part series of original fairy tales inspired by Jim Henson’s The Storyteller. Let’s take a look!

Each comic in the following gallery is listed with its official teaser summary (in italics) and my own commentary (below that) where applicable.

Are you looking forward to picking up a title this week that isn’t in Pull It Together? Mention it in the comments and I’ll take a look! Just remember: PIT only covers one week at a time, not one month! If it’s not coming out this week, it won’t be on the list.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
