Comic Book Wednesday: April 15th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

I had a hard time whittling my Convergence books to the ones on this list. There are just so many of them that I would like to read. Maybe I'll pick up some at a later date.

A book I do want to highlight is Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman because Lois Lane will be in it. Yay! And speaking of Lois Lane, over the weekend I ordered Fallout by Gwenda Bond and it should be arriving any day now. There has been such a huge demand for this book that it's actually being shipped out ahead of it's release date. So, congratulations to author Gwenda Bond for putting Lois Lane back in the spotlight, I can't wait to read the book. I also will be posting two reviews for short stories by Gwenda Bond about Lois that take place before the Fallout book.

Aside from the many Convergence books on my list and my regulars, the only other new thing is the Archie vs. Predator miniseries. After I read a few sample pages I knew this had to be on my list.

Anyway, what books are you going to picking up this week?
