DC Weekly Review: March 28, 2025 (Week 13)

Help Support The Heroes We Love: This month, we’re highlighting the big new toy at DC, The Absolute Universe. And this week we’re going to be talking about the first spinoff series, Absolute Martian Manhunter. Listen, this book is incredible. It’s not like anything else on the market, and it’s Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez operating at the peak of their games. And it’s designed for the physical medium, so make sure to try and get your hands on a physical copy. But if you can’t, then you can read the opening salvos of this story at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD).

Weekly Omissions – Absolute Martian Manhunter #1, Absolute Wonder Woman #6, Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #6, Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1

Hero Of The Week – In a shocking turn of events, our former Queen of the Villains, Ms. Harleen Quinzel scored both Hero And Performance Of The Week. Harley put up a 14 Point Appearance, and brought in a total of 24 Points over two Appearances this week. Quite… Fartcular indeed.

Antagonist Of The Week – We had a two way tie this week for Antagonist Of The Week, one of which has been a no-show for years. This would be Hush, Tommy Elliott, who returns for Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s return to Batman. And the other top scoring Antagonist is Eclipso, who is frankly having a bang up year in 2025. Both brought in 7 Points in a single Appearance.

Book Of The Week – It’s a Justice League week, so of course Book Of The Week goes to Justice League Unlimited #5, which brought in 77 Points over 26 Characters.

Power Of The Week – I do enjoy highlighting fun uses of Power and this week is a Plastic Man level stretch. I gave Harley Quinn a Precision, for the swift, precise motions of her hands on Amygalda’s most sensitive parts to bring him to a defeat via TICKLING.

Welcome To The League – No New Additions Added.
