Comic Book Wednesay: September 25th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday! I have boatload of comics on this week's list. Aside from my regular group of comics, I have four new ones: Harleen (miniseries), Scooby-Doo! 50th Anniversary Giant Issue, Avengers: Loki Unleashed and Strikeforce (ongoing).

I want to read all of the books on my list but Strikeforce and Harleen are the two that I have to read first. Strikeforce has Blade putting together a team which includes Wiccan, Monica Rambeau, Winter Soldier, Spider-Woman, Angela and Damion Hellstrom. It has all of my favorite characters in one book. I'm already hearing good things about Harleen and readers are calling it a refreshing take on Harley Quinn's origin story.

Well, you know what I'm picking up, what books are you getting this week?
