Comic Book Wednesday: 13 books on my to read list

This is the day that Spidey fans have been waiting for...The Return of Peter Parker. The first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man is out today. And I can't wait to read it but as happy as I am that Peter is back, I'm a little apprehensive because Dan Slott will is writing the first issues (and perhaps the series). To me he has a tendency to glorify the villain and it also seems as if he really doesn't quite like Peter Parker but that's just my opinion. Hopefully the first issue will be good.

Two other books added to my list: Jughead & Archie Double Digest and the Flash Annual #3. I have read the first two set of volumes of the Flash series but I dropped the series not because it was bad because I was just reading way too many books and had to drop a few. I plan to continue with series with the trade editions. But I'm picking up the Flash Annual #3 because....Wally West has finally returned to the DCU.

Announcements aside, here is the rest of my list:
