Comic Book Wednesday: August 27th Picks

My list for this week is kind of full with a majority of the books from DC.

There are two new series (one's a mini) that I'm interested in reading. The first is POP (it's the miniseries) from Dark Horse Comics and the other is Wayward by Image Comics.

I also really want to read Batman Eternal #21, Futures End #17 and Batman/Superman #13. Batman/Superman series is usually not on my list but Lois Lane will be featured and I'm looking forward to reading it.

Anyway, here's the rest of my list:


Archie Comics

Jughead & Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #5

Book: Judhead and Archie Jumbo Comics #5

Description:

A day at the carnival is the perfect outing for good ol' Jughead! Funnel cakes, cotton candy, giant lollipops, corn dogs, and Ethel in a giant turtle suit! Ethel's volunteered to run as mascot in the carnival fun run, and she's challenged Jughead to compete!

If she wins, Jughead has to take her out to the movies, and dinner, and a bunch of other things that Jughead wouldn't be caught dead doing! Well, no problem, right? Jughead can outrun a teen girl in a turtle suit, even if there is all kinds of free food being given away on the race track! (Formerly Jughead and Archie Double Double Digest.)
