Weekly Omissions- DC/RWBY #4, Justice Society Of America #4, Static: Shadows Of Dakota #4

Hero Of The Week- This week the Super and Titans family clashed for dominance in our weekly scoring categories. And while Dick Grayson would take Performance Of The Week with a 13 Point Appearance, Clark Kent would edge out a win for Hero Of The Week with 16 Points over 3 Appearances.

Antagonist Of The Week – There was a tie this week for Antagonist Of The Week, with both contenders coming from Action Comics. Cyborg Superman and Metallo would both bring in 6 Points in their singular Appearances.

Book Of The Week- After Action Comics dominated the Antagonist, and Dick and Clark split the Hero awards, one last victory would leave this week’s battle between Titans and Supers in a drawn. Nightwing #104 (secretly a Titans book) would take Book Of The Week, bringing in 79 Points over 14 Characters. Well fought heroes, enjoyed your shared victory.
