THE GEEEEK AWARDS [Best Comics of 2020]: Joker War vs. X of Swords.

Even in the most challenging year ever, it was an especially awful big challenge winnowing down all of that power streaming forth every Tuesday and Wednesday -- yes, DC went to Tuesdays in the new COVID-era -- into just a list of three, but there’s only a couple of weeks left in the 52 and …
