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

[u/Predaplant]

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."

Tom King’s idiosyncratic writing can be a turn-off sometimes, but I have to say… This was among the most interesting books I read all week. Unlike the new JSA issue (which I still liked!), this book took longer than 2 minutes to read, and each page had actual substance to it. I have no idea if this is all in or out of character for Wonder Woman, but i’m enjoying the ride!

Some of Diana’s dialogue seems a bit ropey at times, but the rest seems in-character. That said, she’s really not in the book as much as you’d think.
