DC Weekly Review: April 21, 2023 (Week 16)

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 Jeremy Adams’ The Flash run once again. The best book on the stands in 2022 and 2023, you can read the series in it’s entirety at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).

Weekly Omissions- DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods #8, Static: Shadows Of Dakota #3

Hero Of The Week- Things return back to normal, as the Bat-Family takes the numerous rewards of the Week on the Hero side. Performance Of The Week goes to Selina Kyle, who brought in 13 Points in a Single Appearance. Hero Of The Week would go to Dick Grayson however, who brought in 17 Points in 2 Appearances.

Antagonist Of The Week – While the Bat-Family would claim the Hero side of things, it would be the Wonder-Family who takes Antagonist Of The Week, with Queen Hera of Olympus bringing in 10 Points in a single Appearance.

Book Of The Week- It’s not often that the highest scoring book of the week is also the best quality book of the week, but this week the two aligned. The Flash #798 is the Book Of The Week, bringing in 60 quality Points over 9 fantastic Characters. I’m not ready for this book to be over in a few weeks.
