Comic Book Wednesday: July 22nd Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday,

Kind of a big list this week. Not sure if everything will be sitting on the shelf by the time I make it to the comic book store later today. I do have a lot of Archie comics on my list including the last issue of the Archie vs. Predator miniseries (Dark Horse Comics) but also the Archie vs. Sharknado one-shot.
