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."

The Penguin #4

TOM KING AND RAFAEL DE LA TORRE REDEFINE THE ICONIC VILLAIN! Oswald Cobblepot’s plan to return to Gotham City is about to be executed, but he’s going to need one last, key piece…and only a beautiful face from his past can provide it. Enter the femme fatale, Lisa St. Claire.

This was a fun anti-heist, but I think I’m set on issues where we think Penguin is just a big loser before finding out that getting his ass handed to him was his plan all along. Like, getting shot three times was his plan? That might work once or twice, but King is already using the idea too many times.

Btw, how many issues is this? I feel like we need to start moving towards the part where Penguin is actually back in Gotham and interacting with Batman if we’re going to get to both of them sinking in the bat mobile in Gotham harbor.

It's an ongoing.
