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 something a little different. We’re highlighting the Marvel Brain-Drain that has come over to DC. Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and Tini Howard (Excalibur) are writing their version of the Bat and Cat in Batman and Catwoman respectively, while Leah Williams (X-Factor) turns a new Paige in Powergirl’s story. Kelly Thompson (Captain Marvel) launches a new era of the Birds Of Prey, and Matthew Rosenberg oversees all kinds of chaos with WildC.A.T.S and The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. And you can read the opening salvos of these stories at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).
Weekly Omissions- The Riddler: Year One #6
Hero Of The Week- This is a very Super week in the FCL. Superboy’s Miniseries still has him pulling big Points with a 14 Point Appearance, but Hero Of The Week goes to Supergirl, who went toe-to-toe with Doomsday and Insomnia this week. She brought in 17 Points over 2 Appearances.
Antagonist Of The Week – In his final week of Appearances, Insomnia brought in 15 Points in a single Appearance, before meeting a tragic end. This final Appearance would net him both Performance Of The Week and Antagonist Of The Week.
After 9 Weeks of Scoring, Insomnia would put up 393 Points over 43 Appearances.
Book Of The Week- Man, I will miss the Knight Terrors Event now that it is over. In its biggest, most character filled issue, the series still did not cross into Triple Digits territory. Our Book Of The Week is Knight Terrors: Night’s End #1, which brought in 86 Points over 20 Characters.
