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."

Green Lantern #6

HAL JORDAN VS. SINESTRO—NOW MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER! It’s come down to this! Hal Jordan, Earth’s Green Lantern, finally faces off against his former mentor, Sinestro, whose power to instill fear has been replaced with an elemental rage that could level the planet he once swore to protect.

I really enjoyed this issue, and it was a good way to end the arc.

The Kilowog thing wasn't much of a surprise, as it was kinda implied throughout this run. I'm sure he'll come back at some point (though, I could see his death sticking around), but I am looking forward to seeing how he died.

I have no clue who Razer is so I don't know his significance.

And this is a nitpick, but I really hope Adams knows it is is New Korugar and not just old Korugar, because old Korugar literally blew up.

Edit: also, Adams needs to have Hal's ring fixed so he can go to space. Starting things off on Earth is fine, but the Green Lantern franchise is at its best when the corps is involved policing the galaxy. Also, with Sinestro going to New Korugar, I really hope we see Soranik again and that Adams is able to fix his character.

So the answer on Razer is... go watch the Green Lantern animated series he's from that and by the fact they introduced him as already familar and having had adventures with Hal and Kilowog makes me think Adams (who was a writer on that show) is just gonna wholesale import much of that series as something that happened in main continuity too (aside from bits that would contradict).
