Each installment of Panel of the Week I pull some of the best scenes from last week’s comics (released on 10/20) and put them up for all to see and make snarky comments about. Come back tomorrow to see the featured pull list just in time to hit your Local Comic Shop for lunch.
Here it is, my top five pull list on its new day. I reshuffled some of my posts and now I’m going to bump the pull list to Wednesdays where it might do some more good for those getting ready to pull the trigger on some $2.99 gems. See you at the racks.

In the end, the movie barely squeaked out a weekend victory over How to Train Your Dragon, when all the receipts were finally tallied Monday. But still, the buzz around the entertainment world has been that the film underperformed. [...]
Kick-Ass pulled in a decent haul at the box office over the weekend, and I saw it for a third time in New York’s Union Square. I think I might have loved it even more the third time around the bend.
Only a couple days left, until Kick-Ass mania finally descends on unsuspecting movie fans. We’ve written plenty about the film – from our interview with Mark Millar himself to our spoiler-free review around the time of the film’s world premiere at South By Southwest – and we have interviews with the cast going up this week as well.
