DC Weekly Review: July 21, 2023 (Week 29)

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 the Knight Terrors Event that has replaced normal publications. Is it a great idea to suspend on-going publications of storylines that just started for a Two-Month Event?Well you can decide for yourself, when you 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 – White Knight Presents: Generation Joker #3, Static: Shadows Of Dakota #5

Hero Of The Week- As DC has pulled back on the amount of Batman they’re putting out, Bruce Wayne’s nearly 1000 point total from last year seems long out of goal this year. In fact, if Superman keeps pointing up the numbers he is, he might actually surpass Bruce Wayne this year. Superman was our Hero Of The Week once more, bringing in 22 Points over 4 Appearances. Performance Of The Week would go to Starfire, who brought in 16 Points in a Single Appearance, also proving that this is the year of the Titans.

Antagonist Of The Week – Look, Insomnia killed it, striking just two points shy of our previous FCL Weekly Record of 51 Points (held by one Richard Grayson). Insomnia brought in 49 Points over 5 Appearances, making him our Antagonist Of The Week.

Book Of The Week- The World’s Finest line has become the book to beat in 2023, surpassing most Event Titles in the prime of their Season. This week saw Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #17 bring in 94 Points over 29 Characters, making it our Book Of The Week.

Welcome to the League – No New Additions.
