Comic Book Wednesday: September 21st Picks

Oh wow, I have 24 books on today's list with only two new books: Raven (miniseries) and Trinity. I still don't understand why Raven (along with Beast Boy and Starfire) have been de-aged for Rebirth. They are supposed to be the same age as Dick Grayson, Victor Stone, Donna Troy, Wally West, Roy Harper, etc. It makes no sense but I am interested in reading the miniseries.

I want to read Trinity because it time for Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman to finally act like friends and be real teammates. The New 52 not only ruined the dynamics between all three but the characters as well. So it will be nice to see them hopefully learn to become a team again.

Speaking of Wonder Woman, it's been a few months since Wonder Woman '77 has been in print which is why I can't wait to read Special issue #4. If you're a fan of the Wonder Woman TV series you may want to give this series a read. It's available in both print and digital.

Well, here is the rest of my overstuffed list:
