Help Support The Heroes We Love: This month, we’re highlighting comic book runs that have survived from 2024 and seem to still be going strong in 2025. This week we’re highlighting our 2024 Book Of The Year, Superman by Joshua Williamson. This book continues to redefine Superman and his relationship with his antagonists. And for the time being, our 2024 Artist Of The Year, Dan Mora, is drawing a masterpiece centered around Doomsday. And you can read the first year plus of the story at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD).
Weekly Omissions – Absolute Batman #4, DC Vs. Vampires – World War V #6
Hero Of The Week – Another week, another Batman win. Bruce Wayne took Hero Of The Week with 23 Points over 3 Appearances. That is a third of all points that came in this week, which is ridiculous. Thankfully, Arthur Curry stepped up to take Performance Of The Week from Bruce, bringing in 16 Points in a singular Appearance.
Antagonist Of The Week – Well, he was literally the only villain who showed up this week, so Antagonist Of The Week goes to Scarecrow, who brought in a measly two points. What a way to take home the gold medal.
Book Of The Week – There was only 3 Titles, and only one of them had to feature a bunch of unnecessary Justice League cameos to remind us we’re in the Justice League Unlimited era. And so Book Of The Week goes to Aquaman #1, which brought in 38 Points over 12 Characters.
Power Of The Week – Arthur Curry has inherited Mera’s water manipulation powers, so we’re highlighting those today. Arthur Curry’s use of Water manipulation to defeat a freaking Water Kaiju was a sight to behold.
