Comic Book Wednesday: December 12th Picks

With Christmas quickly approaching, don't forget to check out your local comic book store for gifts. Depending on the store, you can find an assortment of books, collectibles, games, apparel and so much more. Having problems still trying to figure out gifts, you could ask someone who works there if they have any suggestions.

As for today's Comic Book Wednesday, I have four new books on my list: DC Comics New Talent Showcase 2018, Red Sonja Holiday Special, Fantastic Four Wedding Special and Miles Morales: Spider-Man.

What new books are you getting this week?

Let's see Steve schmooze his way out of this one!

Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #39

Book: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #39

Description:

Last issue ended with Squirrel Girl and someone CLAIMING to be Iron Man getting into a fight! Will this issue show you how that fight goes and who wins and why? THE ANSWER: yes!
But with an Iron Man imposter on the scene, that means the real Tony Stark is missing! It's up to Squirrel Girl and her friends to find Tony before it's too late: for him AND the world.

Unfortunately for Squirrel Girl-as this comic is within the super-hero genre of sequential art, one that relies on high-stakes narrative storytelling filled with twists and turns that result in the world never being the same-what she finds is not what she expects and the world will never be the same!
All this-plus: let's say underwater adventure too awaits you in this issue of the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!
