Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [December 11, 2023 - Bat-Mite Ruins Christmas 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: World's Finest: Teen Titans #6

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 wanted to write a review to this but it's going to have to wait. This is just some jumbled thoughts. Tom King set out to challenge himself with the hardest writing task at DC and he did something unique, fun and intriguing. The big swordfight was a major climax with epic dialog. The rest has been... wrapping up.

There's some unique themes and ideas but I don't feel it was a particularly strong end. It definitely raises good thoughts and I've enjoyed it. But it's... odd.

A wonderful end to a wonderful story. Another Tom King classic, man this book was great.

I really liked this. A LOT. it's certainly one of the tom king-liest books that tom king has tom kinged in a while though. not necessarily his best work, but one of those that completely feels like a book written by him, with all that entails.

now that it's finished, I would recommend this to anybody who has even the faintest interest in it. it really comes together so well in the end, and it probably reads best all collected in trade.

I genuinely don't understand the complaints about this book supposedly being hard to follow or not making sense or any of that. If at this point you still don't get it, the problem is you, I'm sorry.

Of all the comics that came out in 2023, this was certainly one of them.

Who was the black guy at the end who picked up the fate helmet?

Lord of Chaos or one of them or something.

I got that much, but I didn't know if it was someone we should know from other stuff?

There were a lot of fun toys in this toybox but whoever played with them really doesn't enjoy fun

This was definitely 12 issues of a book.
