Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. If you’re new to comics, but found your way here through other projects, DC has series for you. From the DC stars of 2022 (Peacemaker: Disturbing Peace), to the films of years past (Batman ’89, Superman ’78), to animated series like Harley Quinn The Eat Kill Bang Tour.
Weekly Omissions- Batman Vs. Bigby: A Wolf In Gotham #6, DC vs. Vampires #5, Hardware: Season One #4, The Human Target #5
Hero Of The Week- In a Bat-lite week, DC allows other to shine. And unsurprisingly, with his movie drawing nearer, it is Arthur Curry who takes Hero Of The Week. Aquaman brought in 16 Points over 2 Appearances. Gotham is never far from the spotlight though, as Selina Kyle took Performance Of The Week, bringing in 15 Points over a single Appearance.
Antagonist Of The Week – Much like his Antagonistic Protagonist counterpart, Black Manta takes Antagonist Of The Week, bringing in 12 Points over a single Appearance.
Book Of The Week- It was a really tight race at the top, but Deathstroke’s newly minted villain army brought him victory by a single point; Deathstroke Inc. #6 brought in 43 Points over 17 Characters.
Welcome to the League – 3 New Antagonists Added: Mother Soul (Ruh Al Ghul), Phobia (Angela Hawkins), Sharpnel (Mark Scheffer)
