Pull-List for 01/30/13

I'm a little light on books this week, so I'll start this column by declaring that the first Geeks OUT event in Chicago was a huge success! You can check out the event photos (courtesy of A/S/L Media) here. It was a great start to building a gay geek community here in Chicago and I look forward to many more. I've also reread last week's launch of Young Avengers more times then I care to admit. Also, did you SEE the cover for X-Treme X-Men 9 ?!

Anyway, onto the books:
