New Comic Wednesday!

Now that work has died down a bit, I have time to actually leave my desk during lunch and walk around, rather than staying chained up in the office all day, feverishly trying to keep my head above water.

So, I walked down to my local comic shop (~10 minute walk from my office) at lunch to pick up the new books from both this week and last that I missed. I'm going home tonight with:

1. Batman #13 - The much-anticipated return of The Joker! Can't wait.
2. Walking Dead #103 - After seeing a main character's head bashed to pieces, how are the survivors going to respond?
3. TWD Michonne Special Issue - The back story of how Michonne became the kitana-wielding badass she is in the comics.
4. Star Wars: Agent of Empire, Hard Targets #1 - Beginning a new arc that combines James Bond secret agents with Star Wars. High hopes for this one!
5. Green Lantern Annual #1 - Back story on the Third Army and the coming war with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Filling in the gaps for me.

A pretty good haul, for me. And we're getting close to the release of some really great new books in December and January:

December

• Avengers #1, the new book of the iconic superhero group, is set for release on December 5.
• Blackacre #1, a post-apocalyptic story about a retired soldier sent out into the blasted wilderness for a mission, comes out on the 5th as well.

January

• The new Star Wars book, set between Episodes IV and V, comes out in early January.
• The re-launch of Wolverine is slated for sometime in January.
• The re-launch of New Avengers is also slated for January.

So, it should be a very good couple of months for my comic habit, and that doesn't even count the one-offs I'll pick up along the way and check out. Should be awesome. There arw a couple of books like Nowhere Man #1 and Justice League of America, which I want to check out before adding them to my pull list, too.
