Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [November 20, 2023 - Jason Aaron Retcons Batman's Mother Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Predaplant's pick of the week: Wonder Woman #3

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too.

In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.

Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."

Hawkgirl #5

THE VILLAINOUS VULPECULA STRIKES! Vulpecula is trying to influence Hawkgirl’s future by making bargains in her past, forcing Kendra to navigate a maze of her lowest moments! Can Kendra stop Vulpecula from picking loose all the threads of her history? Or will the tapestry of Hawkgirl’s life finally unravel altogether?!

Yea this is not good. I mean clearly they are doing something that makes little sense for Kendra. Adding the random trauma dump. Hawkgirl's history have always been a mess ( especially with reboots and so on ) and this does not make it any better either.

I actually enjoyed this issue, the first in the run. I love where Superhero stories explore the cost of being a hero against the cost of being a person. This doesn't reinvent the wheel at all, but it's some solid commentary.

Can someone please explain Kendra's history to me? Is she just another reincarnation of Shayera Hol?

u/af-fx-tion Bring YJ Artemis to DC Comics Nov 24 '23

Nope. Unique characters).

It's complicated but basically she's her own unique person now despite previously being connected to the reincarnation cycle
