Comic Book Wednesday: December 5th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

I'm totally in a holiday mood and I was wondering why Batman Returns is the only superhero Christmas movie? We need more of them! Why isn't there a Superman Christmas movie or an Avengers one (we definitely need something a bit more cheery after Infinity War)? I would so pay to see another superhero Christmas movie, why doesn't Hollywood give us more? The movies don't have to live-action, I would have watching animated ones as well.

Anyway, I have a few new books on this list: Shazam, Merry X-Men Holiday Special and Winter Soldier. I wonder why it took so long to give Winter Soldier a new book, regardless I will be picking this up.

So what are you picking up this week?
