DC Weekly Review: May 12, 2023 (Week 19)

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 entirety 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 #5, Batman – White Knight Presents: Generation Joker #1, Superman: Lost #3

Hero Of The Week- There was so mighty tight competition at the top of the Hero roster this week. New comer Xanthe, old-timer Hal Jordan, and Connor Kent all brought in 11 points. But it would be Courtney Whitmore, Stargirl, who would take both Hero Of The Week and Performance Of The Week with a 12 Point Appearance. It’s wonderful seeing Heroes outside of the Bat-Family doing this good.

Antagonist Of The Week – With only 13 Points total for Antagonist for the week, The Joker and Ghost-Maker both tied with 4 Points each. Even on the lightest Bat-Family week, they still provide the biggest villains around town.

Book Of The Week- In a very light week, Stargirl: The Lost Crusade #6 rose to the top to snag Book Of The Week, bringing in 54 Points over 18 Characters.
