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).

Hero Of The Week- It was the battle of the DC Pillars, as Bruce and Clark went to war against each other. Both scored 14 Points in a single Appearance and both had 4 Appearances total for the week. But it was Clark who took home, Hero Of The Week, besting Batman’s 32 Point tally with 38 Points.
Antagonist Of The Week – And yet neither Hero would take home Performance Of The Week. Thanks to his One Bad Day issue, Ra’s Al Ghul took home both Performance Of The Week and Antagonist Of The Week, with a 17 Point Appearance.
