Comic Book Wednesday: 15 books on my to read list

This is a list of the usual selections but with a new pick: Black Widow. I had no idea the widow was getting her own series. I hope it's well written and does well. I'm looking forward to reading this.

 I do believe this is the last issue for Young Avengers, sad to see the series go but at least going out while it's still good. I have heard there might be a #16 issue (however, it might just be hopeful rumors) but if I do hear anything I'll be sure to post it.

Anyway, here's my list:
