DC Weekly Review: April 28, 2023 (Week 17)

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- DC/RWBY #3, The Riddler- Year One #4

Hero Of The Week- It’s a Super Week to be Clark Kent, as he brought in both Performance Of The Week with a 12 Point Appearance, and also Hero Of The Week with 19 Points over 2 Appearances.

Antagonist Of The Week – To counteract the overabundance of the Superman on the Hero side of things, it was a member of the Bat-Family who took Antagonist of The Week. It was Grand-Daddy of the Bat-Family, Ra’s Al Ghul, who won, with a 9 Point single Appearance.

Book Of The Week- Another week, another Event title taking Gold. Lazarus Planet: Revenge Of The Gods #4 took Book Of The Week with 100 Points being brought in over 24 Characters.
