Comic Book Wednesday: June 24th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday,

There's a lot on my list today but the only things that are new or newish are X-Men '92 (it seems Marvel is also jumping on the nostalgia bandwagon with this one) and Justice League 3001.  I also have two one-shot books on the list: Ant-Man: Larger Than Life and Sword of Sorrow: Lady Zorro & Black Sparrow. Although it's not on my list but I've been thinking about picking up the first issue of We Are Robin.

This week is certainly not budget friendly but there are just so many good books out.
