Comic Book Wednesday: August 20th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!!!

I thought it would be great to put that out there. Why so happy, you might be asking? Well, the new Wonder Woman series is out today, Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman, and I can't wait to read it. Not even that little bit of Fauxmance on the cover of issue #8 of Scribblenauts is going to ruin my enthusiasm for the new WW series.
