Comic Book Wednesday: December 13th Picks

My plans for picking up my comics this evening might be derailed, it's a big snow storm blowing through. I guess I'll have to pick them up this weekend. Anyway, I have two new holiday books on my list: Archie Christmas Spectacular and My Little Pony Holiday Special.

I'm debating whether to take Wonder Woman off my list because I am not enjoying this current arc for the series. The New 52 Wonder Woman series had a problem with focusing on everyone but Wonder Woman and it appears this current arc is continuing on with it. This series needs a new writer.

Anyway, here's my list:
