Help Support The Heroes We Love: This month, we’re highlighting Villains! DC has a few super-villain books running at this time, so what a time for it. And last but certainly not least, we’re looking at Amanda Waller, who has been a busy woman. She’s gearing up for her big Event coming in July, Absolute Power. She’s spread pretty consistently amongst all the books, but a lot of her biggest moves are happening within Joshua Williamson’s Green Arrow, and Nicole Maines’ Suicide Squad: Dream Team. And you can read these stories at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD).
Weekly Omissions – Batman: Dark Age #3
Hero Of The Week – Even with Bruce having the only weekly omission this week, Batman still took Hero Of The Week with 28 Points over 3 Appearances. This included the 16 Point Performance Of The Week.
Antagonist Of The Week – Mr. Freeze managed to make a couple Appearances this week, which gave him the leg up for Antagonist Of The Week. He took the title with 16 Points over 2 Appearances.
Book Of The Week – DC’s celebration of Pride (in May???) stopped a complete Bat-Family sweep of the titles this week. DC’s Pride 2024 #1 took Book Of The Week, bringing in 58 Points over 19 Characters.
