Comic Book Wednesday: 17 books on my to read list

Ugh, I called the comic book store earlier to add a few comics to my list and I was told that if I'm going to pick up Superman: Doomed then I have to pick up Superman/Wonder Woman #8. So, I figure this is DC Comics way of trying to boost sales for that book by forcing readers to buy it so they can continue reading the story. That really sucks.

Anyway, there is nothing new on my list except for the Superman: Doomed one-shot.
