Comic Book Wednesday: May 25th Picks

I love Wednesdays, that's because it's the day that new comics are available. And this week, I have quite a group of books, okay I have whopping total of 26 books on my list. Yes, that is correct, I said 26 books but in my defense, most of the DC Comics series are ending today.

Today also marks the official start of DC Rebirth, hopefully the excitement hasn't been spoiled too much by all the spoilers out there. I'm actually really looking forward to reading this. 

Something else I'm looking forward to reading is Captain America: Steve Rogers, it will be interesting to see Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Sharon Carter and Bucky all working together. If that is indeed what the cover is showing me.

Well, here's my list, what is everyone picking up this week?
