Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. This month, we’re highlighting a shared space in Gotham and that’s the titles written by Tini Howard. Tini’s created a gang-war that is rippling out across the combined titles of Catwoman and Punchline: The Gotham Game. It’s a fun little narrative corner of Gotham that has some stellar artistic talent attached to it. 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 $135 CAD).
Weekly Omissions- Batman & The Joker: Deadly Duo #5, Harley Quinn: TAS – Legion Of Bats #6, Static: Shadows Of Dakota #2
Hero Of The Week- I really wish this was Week 14, because we have a 3-Way Tie for all the categories and it all comes down to 14 Points. First off, we have both Bruce Wayne and Marcus Sun bringing in 14 Points in a Single Appearance. That means both Tie for Hero Of The Week and Performance Of The Week.
Antagonist Of The Week – And then, we also have a 14 Point Appearance from the Crown Prince of Crime, The Joker. This gives him Antagonist Of The Week and also puts him in the three way tie for Performance Of The Week. In the 3 years I have been doing this, I’ve never seen anything like it before. Pretty sweet, if you ask me.
Book Of The Week- Of the 6 Books released, 4 of them finished in the 30 Point range. The Batman brought in 30, The Joker brought in 35, The Monkey Prince brought in 38, but it would be The Flash #794 that took gold, with 39 Points over 12 Characters.
