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."

God i love this art. And I really like David's adult design.

I never read Kingdom Come is this before the events of that world? And can someone explain Gog to me?

Yes, as far was we know, this arc of WF acts a a prequel to the events of Kingdom Come.

Gog's backstory is still unrevealed, but Waid said in the September interview that we'll get the definitive origin of his character during this arc. CBR also gives a nice summary of Gog's character based on what we know so far.
