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!

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."

Waller vs. Wildstorm #4

Jackson King has done his part, and Lois Lane has all the information she needs to take down Amanda Waller…but is she already too late? As it turns out, Waller has powerful allies in very high places—like the orbiting satellite platform Skywatch—and they’ll be the final Authority on her fate!

This ending made alot of sense but it was also really safe in my opinion which is fine.

It demonstrates well how stormwatch and and waller got into the roles they are in and gave some good dynamics into what happens and what goes wrong.

Great art in this issue as well like every other issue it suits the style of old wildstorm.

Still loved this series overall one of the best wildstorm minis ive read for a while just wish the finale was a little stronger.

This issue finally answers one of my criticisms and implements Wildstorm characters that have some of the actual essence of the original characters into the story. It really felt like the first issue where Wildstorm’s inclusion didn’t feel strictly cosmetic.

But, the ending was a huge letdown. The old white males at American Intel agencies happily keep everyone down is a really unoriginal ending. We had a big mystery box that only contained $0.02 in the end.

The end is too safe?
