Comic Book Wednesday: 16 books on my to read list

I keep saying I'm going to cut back on some of these books but I just end up finding different books I would like to read. Case in point, I found a new series Homecoming, is anyone reading that series? If so, is it any good? I'm going to try to pick up the a few issues from the series to see if I like it.
