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 something a little different. We’re highlighting the Marvel Brain-Drain that has come over to DC. Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and Tini Howard (Excalibur) are writing their version of the Bat and Cat in Batman and Catwoman respectively, while Leah Williams (X-Factor) turns a new Paige in Powergirl’s story. Kelly Thompson (Captain Marvel) launches a new era of the Birds Of Prey, and Matthew Rosenberg oversees all kinds of chaos with WildC.A.T.S and The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. And you can read the opening salvos of these stories 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 #5
Hero Of The Week- The era of short DC weeks is coming to an end. Moving forward, most weeks will feature a dozen plus comics, but with this initiative comes a bigger focus outside of the Bat-Family. No matter how big that focus though, it’s still Batman’s world: Bruce Wayne took Hero of the Week with 27 Points over 4 Appearances. Performance Of The Week also came from Gotham, with Harley Quinn bringing in 17 Points in a single Appearance.
Antagonist Of The Week – Being the newly retconned reason Superman and Batman came together has benefited Jax-Ur to becoming Antagonist Of The Week. He brought in 12 Points in a single Appearance.
Book Of The Week- The loss of a Justice League continues to boost the profile of the Titans. Titans #3 was Book Of The Week, bringing in 55 Points amongst 8 Characters. As Titans builds towards the next big DC Event, Beast World, I expect to see this title and these character’s getting more weekly awards.
