Comic Book Wednesday: June 23rd Picks

I wish I could remember the first comic I read because it's what sparked my love of comic books. I still remember reading the comics in the newspaper as a kid and laughing at all the colorful stories. But I can't remember the first comic book I read. I believe it was probably an Archie comic or Betty & Veronica comic but whatever it was, I'm happy I read it because I absolutely love comic books. I love reading all the different stories and I've yet to lose interest.

Anyway, here's my list for the week. Happy Comic Book Wednesday!
