Comic Book Wednesday: February 20th Picks

It's Comic Book Wednesday, my favorite day of the week. What's not to love? Every week there are new comics to read. And speaking of new comics, guess who is going to have their own comic book series. Did you guess Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen? Then you are correct.

It's been years since Lois and Jimmy had their own comic books series and the first issue for both series will be available sometime in June. The creative team for Lois' series is Greg Rucka and Mike Perkins and for Jimmy's series it will be Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber. As good as it is that both characters are getting their own series, I'm still going to wait until more information about the series is released before I add them to my pull list.

Now for this week's list, I only have one new book, Love Romances, it's a Marvel one-shot with stories that center on love. I do hope there is a Peter Parker and Mary-Jane Watson story in it.
