Comic Book Wednesday: July 27th Picks

Happy Comic Book Wednesday!

My budget is not going to like this week's list, there are 27 books on it. Why does it seem like there is always at least one Wednesday when a big chunk of the books are released?

I don't have anything new this week just some continuations of Rebirth. As for Rebirth there is one book I'm not that thrilled about, Action Comics #960. I don't know why the fauxmance is mentioned in the description and most likely will be discussed in the book. I thought the whole point of Rebirth was to fix all the mistakes they made with the New 52 and the fauxmance in my opinion was a huge mistake. They should just let that go and pretend it never happened.

Today marks the last issue of the Dejah Thoris miniseries and it's also the last issue of the New 52/DC You Harley Quinn but she will have a new series for Rebirth.

Well, here is the rest of my list:
