Comic Book Wednesday: June 12th Picks

It's Comic Book Wednesday, comic book fans' favorite day of the week. My list has my usual group of books along with a special Marvel anthology Marvel Tales: Spider-Man. So, here's my list, what books are you picking up?


DC Comics

Book: Catwoman #12

Description:

Chaos reigns in Villa Hermosa as all the bad guys in town rush to fill the void left by the Creel family's ouster. But as Raina Creel's dark plot to resurrect her son comes to a gruesome crescendo, Catwoman may finally be able to put her foe down once and for all. That is, if she can reconcile her own past and find her footing again.

Book: Detective Comics #1005

Description:

The finale of the Arkham Knight saga arrives as the Knight's surprising cult within Arkham Asylum unleashes its full power! Will Batman be swept under by the madness? Who is the Knight, to have inspired so much loyalty? And is there any way of stopping them that won't just cause their legend to grow?

Book: Wonder Woman #72

Description:

Diana and her compatriots have crossed from our world into a shattered land where no earthly feet have fallen in eons...but that doesn't mean that everything there is dead and gone! If this is indeed the road to the lost Themyscira, Wonder Woman will face any danger to reach its end-but that doesn't mean that those she's traveling with will survive!






Marvel Comics

Book: Marvel Tales: Spider-Man #1

Description:

Spider-Man swings into onto the stage as we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the House of Ideas with the era-spanning MARVEL TALES!

This anthology series shines a spotlight on fan-favorite characters, features timeless stories, and highlights some of our most impressive talent from the past eight decades.

First, Spidey faces the mind-bending madness of Mysterio in a classic showdown from the boundless imaginations of Stan Lee, John Romita Sr. and Don Heck - the villain's special effects have never been bigger than in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #66! Then meet Jessica Drew, the startlingly different Spider-Woman in in MARVELSPOTLIGHT (1971) #32 - to know her is to fear her! And finally, with the webslinger missing, the Black Cat steals the spotlight! Can frantic Felicia Hardy find her Spider - or will she find adventure? Surprises are in store in SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #90!

Book: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #45

Description:

WAR OF THE REALMS TIE-IN!

The historic team-up of Ratatoskr - Asgardian chaos squirrel god - and Squirrel Girl - Midgardian squirrel, uh, girl - has not gone well!

Well, that's not technically true: it's gone well for Ratatoskr, who now has a human identity to play with...but this team-up hasn't technically saved anyone yet.

And now it probably never will! Squirrel Girl realizes that Ratatoskr isn't playing by the rules, and they split up!

But can one girl save all of North America? And does one Asgardian chaos squirrel god have machinations going on beneath the surface?

Answers to these questions, plus fights, plus friendship, plus Frost Giants, PLUS some public domain poetry all await you! THERE IS NO MORE ALLURING A SENTENCE THAN THE ONE WE JUST TYPED. WE CHECKED, THIS IS IT!
