Some Notable Premieres and Solid Ongoing Series for Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014
These picks are some of the books I'll be picking up from my personal pull list. There's some notable books also listed for your perusal. RAT QUEENS #4 is a great fantasy series from Image that continues to be funny and thrilling with a band of adorable kickass maidens. JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #11 is the Forever Evil edition that I prefer because of the cast of heroes you don't see enough of like Stargirl, Martian Manhunter, and Shazam for example. SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #4 is much better than expected because of its portrayal of the relationship is treated with respect and mature. Sure, there is a lot of relationship talk but there's also a lot of action too. VELVET #3 is Ed Brubaker's exciting new Image spy series. There's also some new titles I'm picking up - Black Dynamite #1, Skyman #1, Miracleman #1 - and some other ones I won't but listed for your information.
Happy reading!
