Comic Book Wednesday: April 20th Picks

It's that time of the week again, Comic Book Wednesday. This week's list has a lot of Superman (with three books) and the rest are mostly my regular books. There is only one new book Captain America: Road to War. I believe it's a one-shot. I also have Howard the Duck #6 but that's only because it's part of the crossover with Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

What's everyone picking up this week?
