Waiting for the Trade by Bill Miller Wonder Woman: Contagion by Gail Simone, Nicola Scott & Fernando Dagnino collects Wonder Woman 40-44   Why I Bought This: A couple years ago I was having a really bad day and went to my favorite comic book store. This was in the discount bin and had a neat cover. Sometimes it is just that simple.   The Plot: Two separate stories here. First demon children are creating mischief in Washington DC . Then an alien invasion is led by Wonder Woman’s long lost aunt. It falls to Wonder Woman to deal with both threats. (spoilers below)

Waiting for the Trade   by Bill Miller Justice League vol. 1: Origin by Geoff Johns, Jim Lee and Scott Williams collects Justice League 1-6.   Why I Bought This: Even though I’m primarily a Marvel reader, like most of the comic-buying public I was pretty intrigued when DC launched its New 52. This being the flagship title is the obvious one to sample. Plus Jim Lee’s art in the preview pages looked fantastic. On Cyber Monday, Midtown Comics put all the volume 1 New 52 trades on sale at 40-percent off so I finally picked this up (along with Aquaman and JLI ). The Plot: The Justice League comes together for the first time to deal with the threat of Darkseid. Your heroes are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Flash and Cyborg.
