Comic Book Wednesday: November 1st Picks

It's a new month and a new week of comics. I have two new miniseries (Black Lightning and The Jetsons) and returned Captain America to my list.

It's good to see Black Lightning getting some attention even if it's in a miniseries. But you never know, if it's good maybe it will result in an ongoing series. I'm actually happy that The Jetsons is a miniseries because with some of the changes DC Comics has made to many of the Hanna Barbera characters, it might be a good thing to keep it at a few issues incase this new version doesn't appeal to fans.

I was waiting until the disastrous hydra Captain America arc was finally finished to go back to reading the series again. I don't know what possessed the execs over at Marvel to okay the decision to turn Capt into a secret hydra agent but it was the wrong decision. I certainly wasn't going to wait around until they fixed the mistake, so I took the book off my list. I'm interested to see what Mark Waid will do with this series and how he will try to restore Capt's reputation.
