Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. This month, we’re highlighting a shared space in Gotham and that’s the titles written by Tini Howard. Tini’s created a gang-war that is rippling out across the combined titles of Catwoman and Punchline: The Gotham Game. It’s a fun little narrative corner of Gotham that has some stellar artistic talent attached to it. And you can read the opening salvos of the story at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).
Weekly Omissions- Batman: Gotham Knights – The Gilded City #6, Dark Knights Of Steel #10, DC/RWBY #2, Gotham City: Year One #6, Waller Vs. Wildstorm #1
Hero Of The Week- It’s another Battle of the DC Titans, but this time Bruce Wayne left Clark Kent in the dust. Bruce Wayne claimed Hero Of The Week, with 23 Points over 4 Appearances, while Clark only brought in 18 Points over 2 Appearances. However, Clark stole Performance Of The Week with a 13 Point Appearance.
Antagonist Of The Week – Solomon Grundy is one of my favorite mainstays on the Villain side of things. He consistently shows up and usually does at least one thing during his Appearances. Well, it’s finally Cyrus’ time in the limelight; he took Antagonist Of The Week with a 9 Point Appearance.
Book Of The Week- Blue Beetle and the entire Super-Family went head to head this week, with each book bringing in 50+ Points. However, Book Of The Week goes to Action Comics #1053, which brought in 59 Points over 10 Characters.
