DC Weekly Review: July 28, 2023 (Week 30)

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 the Knight Terrors Event that has replaced normal publications. Is it a great idea to suspend on-going publications of storylines that just started for a Two-Month Event?Well you can decide for yourself, when you 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 Audio Adventures #7, DC/RWBY #6, Superman: The Last Days Of Lex Luthor #1

Hero Of The Week- Terry McGuiness was one of the highest Points per Appearance scoring characters in the FCL for 2022, and he returns in a big way this week, scoring 14 Points in a Single Appearance to take Hero Of The Week. Unfortunately, he was up against a true behemoth this week.

Antagonist Of The Week – And there we have it folks, a brand new Fantasy Comic League Weekly Performance Record. Insomnia brought in 56 Points over 6 Appearances, earning Antagonist Of The Week. I never thought I’d see the day that something bested Bat-Privilege, but here we are. Insomnia would also take Performance Of The Week with a 15 Point Appearance.

Book Of The Week- Knight Terrors takes it’s second Book Of The Week, with Knight Terrors #2 bringing in 58 Points over 13 Characters. We love to see these small digit winners here at the FCL.

Welcome to the League – No New Addition.
