Comic Book Wednesday: December 18th Picks

What books are you picking up? There are a lot of comics out today. Well, it is the last Comic Book Wednesday of the month and the year. And for this last week, I have a huge list with two new books: Wonder Woman: Dead Earth (miniseries) and Star Wars: Empire Ascendant (one-shot). Although it's not on my list there is the first issue of a new miniseries out today, Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren. Since my list is already full, I'm going to wait to read the trade edition.

Oh, before I forget, if you're still looking for gifts, don't forget to check the comic book store. You never know what interesting things you might find.
