Comic Book Wednesday: May 2nd Picks

It's Comic Book Wednesday, what's everyone picking up?

Believe it or not, I have three new books on my list: Action Comics Special #1, DC Nation #0 and Harley Loves Joker (miniseries). Yeah, I know I can't believe it. I usually stick to my usual group of books (which is a great way to stick to your budget) but these seem really interesting and I want to give them a read.

Before I forget, this Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. I will be posting something for it but today I wanted to put out a reminder.
