DC Weekly Review: April 7, 2023 (Week 14)

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 & The Joker: Deadly Duo #6, Icon Vs. Hardwire #2

Hero Of The Week- Batman scored both Hero Of The Week and Performance Of The Week in a single 15 Point Appearance.

Antagonist Of The Week – Most weeks, the battle for Hero and Performance Of The Week comes down to Batman vs. Superman. While this week, their villainous counterparts tied for Antagonist Of The Week; both Ultraman and The Joker brought in 10 Points during a single Appearance.

Book Of The Week- The grand finale of The One Minute War Event brought several Heroes back to life and also allowed The Flash series to score Book Of The Week. The Flash #796 brought in 89 Points over 22 Characters. This issue and Event was such a big celebration of The Flash Family, I’m going to miss Jeremy Adams on the title a lot.
