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- Static: Shadows Of Dakota #6
Hero Of The Week- This is a very Bat-heavy week, but we kick things off with a remarkable upset for the Gotham City ghouls. Batman brought in 22 Points over 3 Appearances, which would have locked him down the victory… if Donna Troy hadn’t put up a remarkable 23 Point Singular Appearance. It brings me great joy to see her do so well, especially when it’s at the expense of the Bat. Donna Troy scored both Hero Of The Week and Performance Of The Week with that performance.
Antagonist Of The Week – And now back to a our regular Gotham City Program, where The Penguin took Antagonist Of The Week, bringing in 12 Points over 2 Appearances.
Book Of The Week- And after a brief commerical break, we return back to the Gotham City Program where Batman; The Brave & The Bold #5 took Book Of The Week, bringing in 62 Points over 14 Characters.
