Comic Book Wednesday: March 1st Picks

Okay, I may not have watched one episode of Riverdale (at least not yet) but I do want to read this one shot comic. I also hear it will be getting an ongoing comic book series, that's interesting. Let's see what else is new on my list, the Rat Queens series is back and other than that the rest are my usual books.

Although it's not on my list (I'll be picking it up in the trade edition) the first issue of Miss America's new series America is out today.
