Last class , Tim Seeley and Baldemar Rivas ’ Robins won the tourney . ( Quelle coincidence ! ) This year , I suspect Suicide Squad : Dark is the form of address to beat , come off the rapturous response to James Gunn ’s recentThe Suicide Squadmovie , and fans ’ interest in the Dark side of the DC Universe , and its wizardly , repugnance , demons , and general weirdness . However , Justice League [ Redacted ] — which I assume is the straight title of the comic , and DC has n’t actually redact the Book that belongs there — is likely a strong contender as well , as it has the JL name and a great premise . multitude do love their superheroes being grim and morally dubitable , after all .
vote for rotund one begins at 12:15 p.m. ET today and incline through April 3 , and can be done via DC’sTwitter , Instagram , and theDC Universe Infinite forums , while round two — in which the series ’ writers and creative person will be bring out — get April 5 .
