Comic Book Wednesday: Jan. 7th Picks

Today is a big day for comic books especially compared to last week's small selection of books.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I will buy all of these books because I'm trying to cut back. But there are so many good books out today I have to see if I stick to by plan or not when I get to the comic book store.

There are some new books out today: Feathers (miniseries), Lady Killer (miniseries), Red Sonja Vulture's Circle and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Anyway, here is my list:
