Comic Book Wednesday: 17 books on my to read list

There are so many good books out today and the one I can't wait to read is Lois Lane. It's time Lois is given the spotlight in the New 52. Dark Horse Comics is premiering the Tomb Raider series based on the video game and it's written by Gail Simone. I'm happy that Gail is getting so many opportunities to write different books but I do wish more women writers are getting more chances too.

Lastly, if you read Batman: The Dark Knight, the issue that's out today is the one of the last two issues before the series ends. It's another series that's been canceled.
