Comic Book Wednesday: Nov. 5th Picks

Last week must have been a fluke because my list is back to being it's usual stack.

There are a few new books and miniseries out today: Penny Dora and the Wishing Box (miniseries), Fairy Quest Outcast (2 issue mini) and Over the Garden Wall (one-shot).

Today also marks the last issues for Superman: Unchained and Tiny Titans Return to the Treehouse (miniseries).

I'm going to give the second issue of Gotham Academy a chance hopefully it will be a much better read than the first issue.
