Comic Book Wednesday: June 17th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday,

I'm a little apprehensive about picking up Robin: Son of Batman and Black Canary. The description for both books don't exactly have me eager to read them but Damian Wayne and Dinah Laurel Lance are two of my favorite characters so I'm hoping the first issues will be good.

There are a lot of new books out this week and with my attempt at trying to stay within my comic book budget I'm only going to get a few even though I would love to be able to read them all. Anyway a few books that are on my list are: Thors (as a Thor fan how could I not want to read a book with all the Thors in it), Martian Manhunter and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Casey and April (miniseries)

Here's the rest of my list:


Dark Horse Comics

Archie vs. Predator #3

The Predator has tallied his first kills from the ranks of the Riverdale gang! Can they turn the tables without Riverdale becoming a smoking ruin-and without getting detention?

Description:

Martial arts, super-spies, and rock 'n' roll combine, from Brenden Fletcher (BATGIRL) and Annie Wu (Hawkeye)!





Harley Quinn & Power Girl #1 (of 6)

Description:

Hey, remember the panel gutter between panels 3 and 4 of page 20 of HARLEY QUINN #12? What? You DON'T? It's only, like, the most memorable panel gutter of the twenty-first century.

Well, either way, have we got the miniseries for you, in which the full tale of that momentous and momentary pause can be told! It's a cosmic adventure beyond your wildest imaginings: Power Girl and Harley Quinn, stranded in a forgotten dimension, on the homeworld of the amorous warlord Vartox!
