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. This week we’re looking at The Penguin, who has an On-Going Series. Like much of Tom King’s work, the continuity placement of The Penguin is up in the air. But it is a sequel of sorts to Batman: Killing Time, a 3 Issue Mini King did a couple years ago. 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 #2
Hero Of The Week – This would be another Bat-heavy week. Bruce Wayne got Hero Of The Week with 36 Points over 3 Appearances. This included the 19 Point Performance Of The Week.
Antagonist Of The Week – At least things were interesting in the Antagonist department. Malcolm Merlyn, James Craddock, and Sandra Wu went to war with one another, but it would be the Dark Archer who emerged victorious. He brought in 14 Points in a single Appearance.
Book Of The Week – Batman again. Batman: The Brave & The Bold #12 took Book Of The Week. This was a remarkable issue though, bringing in 64 Points over 6 Characters. That’s an over 10 Point Average per Character.
