Comic Book Wednesday: December 14th Picks

Good Morning!

What's everyone picking up this week? The new Kate Bishop Hawkeye series starts today but being the responsible adult that I am, I'm going to wait and pick it up in trade. And that is super hard to do especially when the book is available right now to read. But I'm really serious about sticking to my comic book budget and waiting is what I will do.

Something new that is on my list is the DC Rebirth Holiday Special. I love it when comics include the holidays it just adds to the festiveness of the season. I can't wait to read this.

Well, here's my list:

Today's top talents bring you a very special holiday gift that'll keep on giving through the New Year!

Scooby Apocalypse #8

Book: Scooby Apocalypse #8

Description:

Escaping Mall-Mart took a toll on Scooby and friends-particularly on Fred, whose broken leg needs more attention than the Mystery Machine's rinky-dink first aid kit can provide.

The gang needs to find a hospital stat-but Velma would rather let Fred's leg crumble to dust than fight more bloodthirsty creatures. But wait-are those paramedics? Nurses? Are they at least friendly? No? Really?





Scooby Doo Where Are You #76

Book: Scooby-Doo! Where Are You? #76

Description:

Shhhh! The local library is being haunted by a pair of ghostwriters-namely, the ghosts of William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe!

Can Scooby and the gang capture these poetic poltergeists before they make off with the library's priceless collection of rare manuscripts? And, even more important as the gang chases madly around the library...can they do it very, very quietly?






Wonder Woman #12 (Frison Variant Cover Edition)

Book: Wonder Woman #12

Description:

'YEAR ONE' part five!

Marvel Comics

Silk #15

Book: Silk #15

Description:

THE CLONE CONSPIRACY TIE-IN!

In the midst of DEAD NO MORE: THE CLONE CONSPIRACY, SILK faces off against a SPIDER-WOMAN! NEW U has given J. Jonah Jameson his life back.

First, his wife Marla was brought back from the dead, and now his adopted daughter, Mattie Franklin, a.k.a. SPIDER-WOMAN, is alive again as well! It should be a time for celebration, but Cindy Moon, a.k.a. SILK, is feeling anything but festive, especially since her boss' entire family has been resurrected and is setting off her spider-sense!





Spider-Man #10

Book: Spider-Man #10

Description:

CIVIL WAR II Aftermath!

The events of Civil War II have made Miles a target and will change the way the Marvel Universe looks at Spider-Man forever.






Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #15

Book: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #15

Description:

When the TASKMASTER comes to town - and brings with him his ability to DUPLICATE ANYONE'S SWEET MOVES - who stands between him and total domination?

See, I can tell you're glancing at the title of this comic and whispering 'Well, it's PROBABLY Squirrel Girl,' but guess what? This time it's actually Nancy's cat Mew, who has NO POWERS WHATSOEVER!

THRILL as Mew loafs around the house! GASP as Mew chases a mouse and then has a nap! BOGGLE as you wonder how we possibly managed to pitch 'an issue entirely from the cat's point of view' to Marvel, a multinational corporation with a LOT invested in our comic continuing to star a squirrel and/or girl!

They knew the risks when they let Hawkeye have that Pizza Dog issue though, so this was clearly inevitable. MEW ISSUE, BRING YOUR TISSUES!
