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 two new titles about new characters. The first is City Boy by Greg Pak and Minkyu Jung, which follows Cameron Kim as he struggles with his ability to interact with DC cities like Bludhaven, Metropolis, and Gotham. The other series is Spirit World by Aluyssa Wong and Haining, which follows Xanthe Zhou as they team up with John Constantine and Cassandra Cain to fight a corruption within the Spirit Realm. Both series are amazing, with a solid pre-established cast that lift these new characters up. And you can read both stories in their entirety at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).
Weekly Omissions- Batman: The Adventure Continues – Season Three #8, Peacemaker Tries Hard #6
Hero Of The Week- Look, it’s another Gotham heavy week. This week’s Hero Of The Week is Dick Grayson, bringing in 23 Points over 2 Appearances. Bruce will be completely shown up however, as he puts in 13 Points in his single Appearance this week to score Performance Of The Week.
Antagonist Of The Week – It’s a two-way tie for Antagonist Of The Week between our top Gotham Heavy Hitters; both Poison Ivy and The Joker brought in 9 Points during a single Appearance.
Book Of The Week- Thankfully, it’s not a total sweep for Gotham City. This week’s Book Of The Week featured only 4 Gotham based characters. DC’s Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun #1 brought in 125 Points over 30 Characters. It’s the first triple digit point Book in weeks, which I guess is nice?
