Comic Book Wednesday: 18 books on my to read list

This is when I wish there was a comic book library so I could check some of them out. Because it might not seem like much but after a while $2.99, $3.99 and $4.99 starts to add up. And it's even worse when you read book that's really bad and then feel like it was a total waste of money.

But I think I've picked a good list this Wednesday (give or take a few).

Marvel


Book: The Fearless Defenders #10

Description:

INFINITY TIE-IN - like none other... because this one's got dancing! With the hordes of Thanos invading Earth, the Fearless Defenders live up to their namesake! A gifted young woman discovers she has amazing... but terrifying... powers. Will this new hero join the ranks of the Defenders? Or will she become one of Caroline LeFay's Doom Maidens?




Book: Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H #1

Description:

Join the INCREDIBLE HULK, and his larger-than-life teammates as they tackle threats that are too enormous for other heroes to handle in this all-new series!Based on the upcoming animated series on DISNEY XD by the Emmy Award-winning Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series") and Henry Gilroy ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars")
------

Did you notice someone missing from the cover? Haven't guessed yet? Well, I'll tell you. It's She-Hulk! I hope it wasn't deliberate that she wasn't included on the cover. Otherwise, I would think they thought the comic wouldn't sell if she was included. I really hope that outdated thinking wasn't the reason for her not being featured on the cover, since she is part of the team. If so, that's not good Marvel. I'm going to give the first issue a read because I like the series and hopefully She-Hulk will also be featured in it. Hopefully for the second issue she will be along side the rest of the team.
