Comic Book Wednesday: April 8th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

DC Comics' Convergence event really kicks off today and with most of the books on my list (10 out of 17) are a part of that then it's safe to assume that I can't wait to pick up this week's comics.

Other than all the Convergence stuff there's nothing new on my list but there is little sad news for fans of Miles Morales, this is the last issue of Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man. Hopefully, Marvel will maybe add him to another series because Miles is an awesome character and shouldn't be shelved for too long.

My list is shy a few of my regular books, but I'm going to be picking up those series in the trade edition.

Archie thinks it's all in Jughead's jug-head, but how can he explain those bumps on Jughead's skin after every sport? Find out if Jughead's truly allergic to exercise in 'Don't Be So Rash,' the funny lead story to this comics digest!
