Comic Book Wednesday: February 12th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn are having a really good moment and as a comic book fan it makes me happy to see so many people excited about the Birds of Prey movie. It would be so cool if the movie brought in new readers.

Someone over at DC Comics must has thought the same thing since there is a special Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey comic out. I have two more on my list: Batman: Pennyworth: R.I.P. and Marvel Tales featuring Wolverine. The rest are my usual group of books.

What books are you picking up today?


Boom! Studios


Book: Go Go Power Rangers #29

Description:

Tommy steps into his new role as leader of the Power Rangers, but not everyone is convinced he'll be able to lead like Jason did.

DC Comics


Book: Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. #1

Description:

Alfred Pennyworth served the Wayne family for decades-even through the tragic loss of Bruce Wayne’s parents. His death at the hands of Bane is the only event that could possibly compare to that fateful night in Crime Alley, and it leaves Bruce at a similar crossroads. If Alfred was the glue that held the Bat-Family together, how will Batman deal with that all falling apart? And if the Caped Crusader is to be truly alone, he might either hang that cape up once and for all…or double down and carry on with this vengeful quest forever. Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. #1 celebrates the life of one of the most important people in the history of Gotham City, while also addressing questions about what’s next.







Book: Catwoman #20

Description:

Raina Creel’s thugs are making a move on the pawn shop where Catwoman has set up headquarters, and if Selina can’t stop them, it could cost the lives of the allies she has working there. Luckily, none of them will go down without a fight; unluckily, Raina’s biggest bad may have more fight than any of them can handle.






Book: Gotham City Monsters #6 (of 6)

Description:

It all ends here! Melmoth is looking to destroy the world before anyone else gets their evil hands on it, but he better watch out-the Monsters aren’t ready to see their planet die. It may not treat them the best, but it’s home! Frankenstein in particular has a big stake in stopping Melmoth. If he can defeat this diabolical mastermind once and for all, it means he will be free of the curse of their shared blood.







Book: Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #6 (of 6)

Description:

It’s the end of the road for our Gotham City sirens…and the revelation of Poison Ivy’s shocking secret will rock you to your core! Will Harley Quinn be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to become the hero she so desperately wants to be? Or will old habits die hard and end Harley and Ivy’s friendship forever?






Book: Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey #1

Description:

The creative team that transformed Harley Quinn forever returns to shake up her world once more-and this time, the gloves are off! Harley Quinn has avoided Gotham City ever since she broke up with The Joker and found a home, and a kind of family, in Coney Island. But when she gets an offer she can’t refuse, she has no choice but to slip back into the city as quietly as she can, hoping to be gone before anyone-especially her ex-learns she’s been there. But for Harley, “as quietly as she can” is plenty loud…and before she can say “Holee bounty hunters, Batman,” The Joker’s sicced every super-villain in the city on her pretty ombré head-and the only team tough enough (or crazy enough) to come to her defense is the Birds of Prey!

The foul-mouthed, no-holds-barred sequel to one of DC’s raciest runs is here! Get on board early, before we come to our senses!






Book: Wonder Woman #751
