Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can legally purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. DC Digital releases near-daily, at .99 cents a chapter, which comes to about 5.99 weekly, or around 2.99, 3.99 for the full three to four chapters that make up an average storyline.
Hero Of The Week- Batman appeared in 7 of the 10 comics this week, putting up 32 Points. I kind of hate the guy, nobody should dominate that much of a week, let alone dominating nearly every other week like this.
Antagonist Of The Week – With Two Appearances this week, The Riddler takes Antagonist of the Week with 6 Points total. Scarecrow and Vandal Savage each brought in 5 Points, tying for second.
Book Of The Week- The finale of the digital Challenge Of The Super-Sons comic went big with it’s final issue. Challenge Of The Super-Sons #14 brought in 48 Points over 11 Characters.
Statistical Notes- 1 New Hero, 1 New Antagonist Added. It’s also Month’s End, so let’s check in with our Top Tens again.
ANTAGONIST
1.) Poison Ivy – 43 Points (8 Appearances)
2.) Vandal Savage – 41 Points (11 Appearances)
3.) Black Adam – 38 Points (8 Appearances)
4.) Scarecrow – 38 Points (10 Appearances)
5.) Lex Luthor – 37 Points (7 Appearances)
6.) Sinestro – 34 Points (5 Appearances)
7.) Killer Croc – 33 Points (8 Appearances)
8.) Talia Al Ghul – 31 Points (8 Appearances)
9.) Two-Face – 29 Points (8 Appearances)
10.) The Joker – 28 Points (10 Appearances)
Commentary: Despite a weak month, Ivy held on to the top spot, while Vandal jumped from 10th place to 2nd for the most impressive gain this month. The Joker just barely crept back into the Top 10, performing extremely poorly for the only Antagonist on the list with his own title.
HERO
1.) Batman (Bruce Wayne)– 302 Points (55 Appearances)
2.) Superman (Clark Kent) – 214 Points (33 Appearances)
3.) Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) – 175 Points (24 Appearances)
4.) Superboy (Jonathan Kent) – 164 Points (26 Appearances)
5.) Nightwing (Dick Grayson) – 112 Points (23 Appearances)
6.) Batman (JF) – 101 Points (19 Appearances)
7.) Robin (Damian Wayne) – 86 Points (21 Appearances)
8.) Catwoman (Selina Kyle) – 85 Points (12 Appearances)
9.) Red Hood (Jason Todd) – 67 Points (10 Appearances)
10.) Oracle (Barbara Gordon) – 67 Points (17 Appearances)
Commentary: Batman broke 300 in 4 Months, Superman broke 200, Jonathan might overtake Wonder Woman next month, and Oracle is underperforming despite consistent Appearances. Gotham makes up 70% of the Hero list and 60% of the Antagonist list.
