Comic Book Thursday (Wednesday): 15 Books on my To Read List

I always read a variety of books, I just like reading different things. There's also a few comics I'm going to check and see if my local comic book store carries such as Garfield by Boom! Studios. I'll check this weekend when I go to the store.

I think I'm going to pass on Action Comics this time, that book is going down hill. Andy Diggle wrote one of the best issues (#19) of the series so far. Too bad Scott Lodbell has taken over since then and has continued to write such a horrible series (along with his writing of Teen Titans and Superman).
