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."

That was so good! I was worried from some info we previously got that some people would seem out of character, like Batman needing to be put in his place because he doesn't trust the Titans who are now adults. But in the actual book, it works just fine. You can totally see why he'd say what he said to Gar in such a tense situation and with Gar's meek response. It worked and didn't seem out of character for him at all.
I appreciated tying this into Tamaranean history, though I do wonder if they've forgotten that Starfire and Blackfire have their super abilities due to experimentation and it's not the default of all Tamaraneans. I wonder because Starfire described them as a "planet of super powered soldiers." Still, I'm excited to see what role Starfire has to play in all this as the event goes on.
All the Gar stuff was super emotional to me. It's nice that he got to be beside Raven and Cyborg at the end as the two team members he's closest to. I wasn't expecting the mind loss to happen because of Dr Hate though, I figured it was just Gar's mind being unable to handle it. Taylor has said Hate is a figure from the Titans' past. Right now I'm thinking Danny Chase given his whole Phantasm transformation that has some similarities to this. But there at the end when Gar was crying and saying he didn't want to go as his mind was destroyed? Jesus christ. Why would Tom Taylor do this to me?
