Comic Book Wednesday: Dec. 17th Picks

I'm going to give Wonder Woman another chance but if this second issue written by Meredith Finch sucks then I'm going to have to drop the series until a better writer (and artist) takes over the book.

And believe me that's going to be hard to do because as a comic book fan we tend to be rather loyal even if the series sucks we continue to buy them in hopes that they will get better. It has to be something really bad for a comic book fan to drop a book and the Finch creative team for me is one of them.

Today is officially the first of the last print issues for Smallville Season 11, really hate to see this comic go but at least we have a few more issues before it ends.

Well, nothing new for me this week but here is my list:
