Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. DC is home to some fantastic Elseworlds Comics that receive publication under the DC Black Label. This month sees the publication of The Human Target from Tom King and Greg Smallwood, and the conclusion of the 3 Part Superman vs. Lobo Miniseries.
Weekly Omissions- Batman: Beyond The White Knight #2, Dark Knights Of Steel #6, Rogues #2,
Hero Of The Week- Batman scored Protagonist Of The Week every week in April. This week was his best performance with 29 Points over 5 Appearances. Performance Of The Week was a tie between Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter, who both brought in 13 Points in a single Appearance.
Antagonist Of The Week – It was a battle between the Old Gods and the New Gods, with Pariah and Black Adam going at it. While Black Adam brought in 11 Points in 2 Appearances, Pariah brought in 12 Points in a single Appearance.
Book Of The Week- We had our first massive book of the year, with Justice League #75, “The Death Of The Justice League” brought in 179 Points over 46 different Characters. I’m already dreading Dark Crisis from a FCL perspective.
Welcome to the League – Two New Antagonists Added: Black Lantern (Nekron), Raptor (Richard)
TOP 10 HEROES
1.) Batman (Bruce Wayne) – 307 Points (54 Appearances)
2.) Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) – 138 Points (22 Appearances)
3.) Nightwing (Dick Grayson) – 138 Points (33 Appearances)
4.) Robin (Damian Wayne) – 82 Points (17 Appearances)
5.) Superman (Clark Kent) – 81 Points (18 Appearances)
6.) Superman (Jonathan Kent) – 78 Points (13 Appearances)
7.) The Flash (Wally West) – 78 Points (18 Appearances)
8.) Oracle (Barbara Gordon) – 75 Points (30 Appearances)
9.) Aquaman (Arthur Curry) – 71 Points (16 Appearances)
10.) Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) – 67 Points (15 Appearances)
Commentary: Half of the Top 10 isn’t Bat-Family! Wonder Woman made big gains, but Damian jumped up 5 Places from 9th to 4th overall. The Flash also moved up by 3 Places, while both Supermen and Aquaman did some slight shifting around. This was a weak month for Bat-Family though, so we’ll see how many stick around in May.
TOP 10 ANTAGONISTS
1.) Black Adam – 63 Points (14 Appearances)
2.) Black Manta – 43 Points (7 Appearances)
3.) Deathstroke – 38 Points (7 Appearances)
4.) The Penguin – 37 Points (14 Appearances)
5.) Peacemaker – 30 Points (8 Appearances)
6.) Bloodsport – 28 Points (8 Appearances)
7.) Ultraman – 27 Points (3 Appearances)
8.) Mirror Master – 26 Points (8 Appearances)
9.) Psycho Pirate – 26 Points (10 Appearances)
10.) Match – 25 Points (6 Appearances)
Commentary: Psycho Pirate and Match fell considerably, while nearly everyone else made gains. Deathstroke came from just outside the Top 10 to the #3 place thanks to Shadow War, which caused the biggest upsets this month. Psycho Pirate remains the surprise performing on the villain side, continuing his streak of Appearances in Flashpoint Beyond now.
