What are you comic book loving fans picking up today? The first issue of a new Xena: Warrior Princess miniseries is out today. It's written by Meredith Finch who up until now was mostly known for writing the New 52 Wonder Woman series (issues #36-#52) which garnered mixed reviews. I wasn't particularly a fan of her vision for Wonder Woman but I am willing to give her writing another chance by picking up this Xena miniseries. I really hope she has a better understanding of who Xena is than she did for Diana/Wonder Woman.
Well, other than that, the rest of the books are my regulars. Here's my list:

Book: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #29
Description:
THE FORBIDDEN PLA-NUT PART 3
For the first time in the HISTORY of comics, we present the color-coded fight we've all been waiting for: GREEN (Doreen) ON SILVER (Surfer)!
And if fighting the Herald of Galactus- a man who literally has the Power Cosmic at his disposal - isn't enough, Doreen's got other problems to deal with, including intergalactic scam artists, Drax the Destroyer and LOKI LAUFEYSON.
FEEL the thrill of the fight! SEE it happen, via artisanally selected images and words juxtaposed in deliberate sequence! HEAR the words in your head via your inner voice as you read them, which when you think about it is kind of weird! All we have to do is write down words on a piece of paper, and suddenly they're re-created in your mind exactly as we intended. Minds are crazy, and language is EVEN CRAZIER.
Anyway, please enjoy this comic about a girl and her talking squirrel in space.
