Half of the books on my list are a new one-shot special, two are from Archie while the other four are from DC Comics. One of the specials is a Jughead werewolf story, it's funny a couple of days ago I read a similar story in one of the Archie Digest books. However, I doubt this new story will be a lighthearted comedy.
DC Comics have some specials that pair up popular TV characters with comic book characters that I couldn't resist putting on my list. There is no way I was going to pass up reading a Booster Gold and The Flintstones special.
As for my regular books, apparently the last book for The Backstagers is out today. I really do hope it will at some point turn into an ongoing series.
