Hero Of The Week- Batman only put up 8 points this week, so who outshone the Dark Knight to take Hero Of The Week? It was none other than Barry Allen, The Flash, zipping up 20 points over 2 appearances. Superman would take second place with 16 points over 3 appearances. Wally West, The Flash, would also place in the top three, with 15 points over a single appearance.
Antagonist Of The Week- Harley Quinn would also have an off week, with only 6 points over two appearances. The Upside Down Man takes first this week with a surprisingly strong, seven point scoring, singular outing. This was more than Black Mask, Deadshot, Fin, and The Batman Who Laughs, who all got 6 points in their appearance this week.
Book Of The Week- The Suicide Squad put up a tough fight (52) against the injustice of comic book events, but Dark Nights Death Metal: Speed Metal #1 edged it out with 59 points. This was a delightfully small week at DC, who had been publishing 50 plus page mammoths at least once, usually twice a week since we started tracking in Week 32.
Statistical Notes- 2 New Heroes, 6 New Antagonists Added.
Batman remains The Top Hero, breaking 200 points in seven weeks, with 202 points over 36 appearances.
Harley Quinn remains The Top Antagonist, creeping ever closer to 100 points with 96 points over 22 appearances.
