Comic Book Wednesday: November 9th Picks

Despite being sad about the outcome of the election, I still need to post my Comic Book Wednesday list.

What's new on today's list, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows and Invincible Iron Man. Although I forgot to put Invincible Iron Man on my pull list, I'm hoping there will still be issues on the shelf when I get to the comic book store.

Update: I forgot to include Black Panther: World of Wakanda.
