Comic Book Wednesday: 11 books on my to read list

What's on everyone's Comic Book Wednesday list?  There's only one Marvel book that I would like to read this week, Marvel Knights: Spider-Man. I hope it's Peter Parker that's spidey in this book.

Here's the rest of my list:

Image Comics


Book: Lazarus #4

Description:

'FAMILY,' Part Four The conclusion of the first arc. Forever moves to defend her Family with blood and steel as the Twins' plot against their father is revealed.


Marvel



Book: Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #1 (of 5)

Description:

From the haunted heights of a mysterious castle to the dizzying depths of the deep seas, the Amazing Spider-Man has to take on not one, not six, not twelve – but ninety-nine of the Marvel Universe's deadliest villains to save the lives of countless innocents! Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT) and Marco Rudy (Swamp Thing) bring you a defining hour in the life of the webbed wonder in a race against time and a battle against evil.



DC Comics



Book: Batman Black and White #2 (of six)

Description:

The Eisner Award-winning series continues with a second amazing issue! Don’t miss new takes on the Dark Knight from legendary creators including Rafael Grampá, Dan DiDio and J.G. Jones, Rafael Albuquerque, Jeff Lemire and Alex Niño, and Michael Uslan and Dave Bullock! Plus, a cover by the amazing Jim Steranko!
-----

I don't know how I missed this miniseries but the next time I go to the comic book store I'm going to try to pick up this and the first issue.





Book: Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #38

Description:

Book: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #6

Description:

While the Masters of the Universe fight to stop the invading Horde troops from taking Castle Grayskull, He-Man struggles to pull Despara from the clutches of Hordak. Now that Despara knows the truth about her origin, whose side will she choose to fight on…He-Man’s or Hordak’s?
----
I hope it's on the side of He-Man but with the way comics are going these days, she'll probably end up on Hordak's side.





Book: Batwing #24

Description:

At Batman’s direction Luke Fox takes off for Italy to compete in a Mixed Martial Arts tournament. He’s about to come face to face with Lady Vic and Charlie Caligula, so let’s hope he brought his newly modified Batwing armor!

I actually miss David Zavimbe as Batwing but I'm trying to give Luke a chance.
