Comic Book Wednesday: January 4th Picks

Today marks the first Comic Book Wednesday of 2017 and I have only one new book on my list: Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth #1 (one-shot). With a new Justice League of America series to begin soon, DC Comics is releasing four one-shot of The Atom, Vixen, Killer Frost and The Ray to get readers ready for the new series.

The first issue of the new series The Unstoppable Wasp (Marvel) is out today but it's not on my list. I'm going to pick it up when it out in the trade edition, still trying to keep my weekly comic book expenses down.

What books are you picking up this week?

Anyway, here's my list:
