DC Weekly Review: June 7, 2024 (Week 23)

Help Support the Heroes We Love: This month, we’re highlighting artists at DC. This week we’re focusing on Jorge Jimenez. Jimenez has been the long time standing main artist on Batman, first on James Tynion’s run and continuing into the present on Chip Zdarsky’s run.  And you can take in his phenomenal art at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD).

Weekly Omissions – Barda, My Adventures With Superman #1, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #5, The Boy Wonder #2 

Hero of the Week – It’s a smaller week, so Bruce flew in to snag both Hero Of The Week and Performance Of The Week with a 13 Point Appearance.

Antagonist of the Week – The Awards this week will stay centered in Gotham, with Failsafe taking Antagonist Of The Week with a 11 Point Appearance.

Book of the Week – The book that was responsible for Hero, Villain, and Performance Of The Week unsurprisingly will also net Book Of The Week. Batman #148 brought in 73 Points over 17 Characters.

Welcome to the League – One New Antagonist Added: Emerald Empress (Sarya)
