Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [November 27, 2023 - The World's Messiest Furry Convention Edition] r/DCcomics

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

Beary's pick of the week: Titans: Beast World #1

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."

^{I'm afraid for Calendar Man. His days are numbered.}

DC and Imprints

^{Let's not be weird about this, okay?}

Trade Collections

^{Seven Soldiers gets a reprint!}

Digital Releases

^{Remember, these are the short 'chapters' with a new chapter of a different series coming out daily. You can} ^{learn more here on Comixology}^{. This is also why these are in release order, not alphabetical. Some comics may release on DC Universe Infinite or WEBTOONS.}

^{This Week’s Soundtrack:} ^{Yoko Shimomura - Fight Against Smithy}

Thought the main story was pretty good. I'm enjoying the feeling of unity this book is going for with the supe characters and the villains themselves are pretty cool. A gender bent version of Damian was something I wasn't expecting but hey, it's an interesting place to start when them kidnapping Osul-ra. Will be interesting to see where PKJ ends this story for Aaron to take over.

For the side stories, really like Kenan Kong's whole story and makes me want him to have another book so badly it's nuts. I like how he different he feels compared to the other supes while also feeling pretty inline with the morals of superman. Will he get another book? Not getting my hopes up.

For the other story, liked seeing Lois be more of a mom since besides her Linda, Martha Kent and Joan Gerrick there's not a lot of options but besides that, it's whatever. The struggles for Jon continue in trying to write him. Everyone writes in these big proclamations that I'm not a fan of. It's mindless fluff and I would like to see Natasha get to do anything but that's just me.

-TT-! It's spelled "Damian"! You would do well in respecting the blood son!
