Comic Book Wednesday: August 31st Picks

Good Morning!

For the past two days I've had the theme song to Veronica Mars stuck in my head "A long time ago we used to be friends". Yeah, that's the lyric that keeps going around in my mind. I love the Veronica Mars TV series and the movie. If you haven't seen the movie please do, Veronica is at her best. They really did a great job with that movie.

Anyway, what's everyone picking up this week? My list is small with only 12 books. Can you believe Justice League of America #9 is actually out today. It was supposed to be published back on June 15th, I wonder what delayed production? Also out today is the last issue of the first volume of the miniseries, The Legend of Wonder Woman. I read the first two issues and loved them but I didn't want to read the rest until I had all the issues. It's a little weird but I usually like to wait until I have all the issues of a miniseries before reading them. But I'm trying to change that reading quirk because why wait to read books.

I do have something new on my list: The X-Files Origins. The miniseries will focus on Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as teens who find themselves in separate strange mysteries. Seems like fun.

So, here's the rest of my list:
