Comic Book Wednesday: July 20th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday and Good Morning!

I only have two new books on today's list: Betty & Veronica and Batgirl and the Birds of Prey.

The New Betty & Veronica series starts today and I believe the first issue has 24 variant covers that you can chose from.

I'm still disappointed that the New Birds of Prey series is called Batgirl and the Birds of Prey. It makes it seem as if they're secondary to her. Batgirl already has a series for Rebirth that she's headlining, why does she need to get top billing for the Birds series?

Anyway, here's the rest of my list:
