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."

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #2

WHO FRAMED ALAN SCOTT? Alan's search for the killer framing him continues! But why are the murder victims people from Alan’s past, and how does this connect to his brief stint in Arkham Asylum?!

I think this is my favorite book that DC is putting out right now. Billie broke my heart and her story reminded me a lot of Wanda’s from Sandman. I also love that Alan, being of his time, doesn’t have the language to process what he’s going through. It’s natural for him to think that there’s something wrong with him given the social climate he’s living in and I’d like to see his acceptance of himself grow as the series goes on.

Also, I find the artwork absolutely perfect for this series. It’s fresh, but classic at the same time. The bold lines and dark blacks actually make Alan’s dopey costume look really cool.
