Comic Book Wednesay: Dec 16th Picks

Sometimes books are delayed but I usually don't find out until I go to the comic book store and see that the books didn't ship. That was the case with Batgirl #46 and Justice League #46 they were supposed to have been released a week or two ago but are both on shelves today.

There is only one new book on my list: Starbrand and Nightmask. I forgot to put it on my pull list so I'm hoping there will still be some available by the time I make it to the comic book store.
