DC Weekly Review: April 14, 2023 (Week 15)

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 Jeremy Adams’ The Flash run once again. The best book on the stands in 2022 and 2023, you can read the series in it’s entirity at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).

Weekly Omissions- Batman: The Adventure Continues: Season Three #4, Danger Street #5, Multiversity: Harley Quinn Screws Up The DCU #3, Superman: Lost #2

Hero Of The Week- In a very tiny week, some of our smaller heroes had a chance to play (Batman only put up 2 Points over 2 Appearances this week). This week’s Performance and Hero Of The Week is Connor Kent, aka Superboy. Superboy brought in 14 Points in a Single Appearance that launched his new Mini-Series.

Antagonist Of The Week – It would not be a points scoring week of DC if there wasn’t at least one Bat-Family member in the mix of high scorers. This week our Antagonist Of The Week goes to Clownhunter, the young protege of Ghostmaker. Clownhunter brought in a 8 Point Appearance, scoring him gold.

Book Of The Week- All of our books this week were within forty points of each opther, which is incredibly rare. DC will often have one book bring in 5 Points and another bring in 200 Points, but this week they all scored between 40-85 Points. The winner of the bunch was the Event Book, Lazarus Planet: Revenge Of The Gods #3, which is actually just a Wonder Woman title in disguise. It brought in 85 Points over 19 Characters. I’m very ready for the Olympus cast to go back into obscurity.
