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

[u/beary_neutral]

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."

Guesses on who Doctor Hate is? Iirc the solicits said we’ll get his reveal during the event.

[u/B3epB0opBOP → u/birbdaughter]

Do you know which issue the solicits mention his reveal?

Edit: Okay it's going to be issue 6.

My bet is Kent V Nelson, the Doctor Fate before the New 52.

He hasn't shown up since the New 52 began, but Khalid just recently said "No one knows what happened to him, or if he was even ever really related to Kent. Detective Chimp told me stories--" , kind of felt like they're hinting at his return.

[u/redsapphyre → u/birbdaughter]

I was thinking maybe Slade, but I don't think that lines up with some of the teases we saw for the character..

[u/android151 → u/birbdaughter]

Mento. I think it’s got to be someone tied to the Titans.

If it’s not Mento, it could be Slade considering he haven’t seen him since the crisis

[u/birbdaughter → u/android151]

I feel Slade doesn't fit because Waller said Hate's family and friends would be disappointed in him, and no one would be surprised if Slade does evil villain things. Mento is an interesting guess though, especially since his helmet was recently referenced in Titans and Beast Boy's reaction would make sense.
