Comic Book Wednesday: December 28th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

What's everyone picking up this week? Nothing new on today's list and even though I can't wait to read them all, there are a few issues that I'm eager to read: Might Morphin Power Rangers #10, Wonder Woman #13, The X-Files #9, Black Widow #9, Spider-Man #11 and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #14.

And even though it's not on my list, the third issue of Life with Kevin (Archie Comics) is out today. Since it's only available in digital, I'll try to order it sometime later today.

Here's my list:
