Comic Book Wednesday: August 13th Picks

This Comic Book Wednesday marks the end (for now) of a couple of series I was reading: Birds of Prey and Superboy. Last week was the last issue of Batwing. This week's issue of Batgirl will also be writer Gail Simone's last time writing for the series (at least for now, I'm sure she will return).

Well aside from that, there's nothing new on my list this week just my usual group of books.
