DC Weekly Review: March 8, 2024 (Week 10)

Help Support The Heroes We Love: This Month, we’re Highlighting the Sons of the Bat. This week we’re highlighting Jason Todd. Jason currently has Red Hood: The Hill, a Miniseries centered around Jason’s time in a specific community, much like the Batgirl of Burnside era for Barbara. And you can read the opening salvos of the story at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD).

Weekly Omissions – Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #2, Superman: The Metal Curtain #5, The Bat-Man: First Knight #1

Hero Of The Week – Shazam! This is going to be a very Captain heavy week. We kick things off with Billy coming oh so close to both Hero and Performance Of The Week. However, Billy lost by one point to an FCL New-Comer, Jack Ryder, The Creeper who brought in 16 Points in a single Appearance.

Antagonist Of The Week – There were some heavy performance from both Lobo and Jason Woodrue. But neither scored Antagonist Of The Week. Instead the honor went to General Zod, who brought in 10 Points in a single Appearance.

Book Of The Week – Shazam pulled off a very tight victory for Book Of The Week, but it did it with many less characters than it’s competitors. Shazam #9 brought in 42 Points with only 4 Characters, That’s an average of over 10 Points per Character.
