DC Weekly Review: August 4, 2023 (Week 31)

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- Justice Society Of America #5, Peacemaker Tries Hard #4

Hero Of The Week- Once more, a Superman takes Hero Of The Week but this time it isn’t Clark. Jonathan Kent brought in 19 Points over 2 Appearances, which also includes a 15 Point Performance Of The Week winning Appearance.

Antagonist Of The Week – To no-one’s surprise, Insomnia dominated as Antagonist Of The Week again, bringing in 43 Points over 5 Appearances. I know I’ll sleep a whole lot better when I can stop scoring this behemoth of a Character.

Book Of The Week- Now here’s a big surprise. Steelworks is a new series written by former Steel Actor, Michael Dorn. It’s not a big book, but it does feature the Super-Family in a supporting role. This super support is likely what allowed Steelworks #3 to be our Book Of The Week, bringing in 37 Points over 8 Characters. Not too bad beating an Event title.
