Comic Book Wednesday: April 14th Picks

I think comic books are an interesting and unique art because aside from children picture books where else can you get story centered around art. I love seeing all the new stories and characters that continue to attract new and old readers. Which is why I love reading comics, you never know what you'll get.

As for books on my list, there's a new miniseries (Batman: The Detective) and final issue to a series (Dejah Thoris) along with a few other books. So, what new books are on your list this week?
