ANNUAL PUNCH-UP: 2016 HERO OF THE WEEK RECAP
The last twelve months have been a wild ride of diving through the back issues to feature a whole lot of superhero smackdown!

Even though this is The Comic Book Fight Club, classic battles were not the only order of 2016! While we went as far back as the 60s in Friday Night Fights, we kept one eye on the present via Hero of the Week -- a returning feature from 2009 and 2010!

We were able to talk about a phenomenal array of heroes and villains from Marvel, DC and even one or two other agencies. In years to come we'll be intrigued to look back upon the characters who were grabbing attention in 2016! Enjoy the complete list of the year's Heroes of the Week, use links at the bottom of entries to find more, and feel encouraged to share your own HOTW in the comments!
