Comic Book Wednesday: 13 Books on my To Read List

I love reading the Batman: Li'l Gotham, Smallville Season 11 and Batman: Arkham Unhinged series. I think DC Comics digital first series are some of their best books including: Adventures of Superman and Legends of the Dark Knight.

There are also two books I'm going to try to pick up: Wolverine and Red Sonja. I heard the Red Sonja series is pretty good. And as for Wolverine, issue #8 will be featuring the Black Panther and Storm.

Book: Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man #17

Description:

This will be my first time reading a book from this Wolverine series. I hope it's good.


DC Comics
