Comic Book Wednesday: 23 books on my to read list

Okay, I have a lot of books on my list this week. However, I might be dropping a few books soon such as Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Superboy. I still find WW to be a boring series and I'm not looking forward to the new direction Supergirl and Superboy are planning on going in.

Even if I do drop those series, there is a new series I am looking forward to reading, Teen Titans Go!  And I hope it's just as funny as the TV series. There's also a Lisa Simpson comic I want to read (please let the comic book store carry this).

On a slightly sad note, it's nearing the end of the Young Avengers series, only one issue left. And this week also has the last issue of Vibe.

Anyway, here is my list:
