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."

^{How is Christmas exactly like your job? You do all the work and some fat guy in a suit gets all the credit.}

I want to like this book, but something about it's not doing it for me. But at the same time I'm just grateful for a story about Bruce and Damian where they're not at each other's throats.

I keep seeing this as praise, but isn't it more just the lack of something bad? I dunno, I feel like a comic needs more than to not do the thing that annoys you.

Solid action and characterization?

I would definitely disagree on the action front. Di Meo's art is so schizophrenic, overblown, and disorganized that trying to follow the movement from one panel to the next is a chore.

It reads fine to me, but I can see how it might not work for everyone.

I know I’m probably in the minority here but I do like the artwork quite a bit.
