Comic Book Wednesday: Oct. 1st Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

There are a few new books: Flash Season Zero, Thor, Gotham Academy and Sherlock Holmes vs. Harry Houdini (miniseries).

I believe today is the last issue of Wonder Woman with Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang as the creative team. I had a few issues with Azzarello's run but it was good to have readers actually interested in reading Wonder Woman comics again. And I thought Cliff Chiang's artwork was simple amazing. So, here's hoping the new team doesn't ruin the series.

This issue of Captain America will be introducing the new Captain America (not like anyone doesn't know who it is by now).
