Comic Book Wednesday: August 9th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

What's everyone picking up this week? I can't believe Gotham Academy Second Semester is ending, the last issue is out today. It's a cute little series and I really surprised that it's not continuing.

Now as for my list, it consist of my regular group of books (Scooby-Doo, Wonder Woman, etc.) but there is a special Star Wars issue: Rogue One: Cassian & K2O that I will be picking up.

Medieval theme restaurant Joust in Thyme has it all: minstrels wandering between tables, live jousting tournaments...and the terrifying ghost of an 800-year-old knight! There's only one way Sir Scooby and Sir Shaggy can uncover the face beneath the mysterious knight's helmet: by raising swords and lances to take on the ghost in a tournament themselves!







Wonder Woman #28 (Frison Variant Cover Edition)

Book: Wonder Woman #28

Description:

'HEART OF THE AMAZON' part three!

Marvel Comics

Star Wars Rogue One Cassian & K2SO Special #1 (Larraz Variant Cover Edition)

Book: Star Wars: Rogue One: Cassian & K-2SO Special #1

Description:

Cassian Andor is one of the top intelligence agents in the ranks of the Rebel Alliance, ably assisted by his reprogrammed Imperial security droid, K-2SO.

But naturally, the two weren't always on the same side of the Galactic Civil War.
Now, for the first time, read the story of the pair's first contentious meeting! It is very likely not to go well.






Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #23

Book: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #23

Description:

Remember last issue, when we went to the SAVAGE LAND, the nature preserve full of dinosaurs?
Guess what? We're still in the amazing SAVAGE LAND, and there're even MORE dinosaurs!

Will Squirrel Girl FIGHT a dinosaur? Will Squirrel Girl fight TWO dinosaurs? Will we come up with really excellent reasons why these fights would take place, reasons that both justify the fights while also telling the story of what led to this dinosaur-punching smashup: a story which, even though it stars dinosaurs and Squirrel Girls, contains within it the chance for us to recognize, perhaps for the first time, our most personal and secret selves??

Of course we will; that's literally our job.

This issue also features jokes and a super villain who's causing major problems, so it's the complete package, really.
