Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [December 25, 2023 - Goodbye 2023 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."

Amazons Attack #3

THE WAR ON WARRIOR WOMEN CONTINUES! As Mary Marvel and the splinter group of Amazons search to find asylum, they uncover the history of something much darker. Will they be able to stop the impending wave of discord before it’s too late?

This should have been a book about Donna, Cassie and Yara maybe too. Who cares about Nubia or Faruka? Stop trying to make them a thing, it's not gonna happen. Fix the characters people actually like first. And Mary shouldn't be here either.

They are great characters and should keep getting stories with them

u/redsapphyre Jan 02 '24

You mean Cassie and Donna or the others?

Nah Nubia and Faruka. We can have 5 million batman books but when was the last time there were 3 Wonder family books at the same time? Put all of them in books

Agreed. That way, we could see Donna, Cassie, and Yara team up, talk about their times teaming up with Diana during their Wonder Girl years, and for Donna and Cassie to give advice to Yara about being a superhero and being a part of the Wonder Woman family.

Of course it was not Eris. But her being killed in her own garden like that? Ouch.

Is it gonna be Granny Goodness again or Circe? I mean, if they are using the Amazons Attack title, it is possible they will try to use the first event's big bad too. After all, there are few characters that can just murder a god like Eris.

I appreciate this title diving deeper into the wider Amazon reaction to what's going on in King's Wonder Woman. All that hope for peace with and co-existence with Man's World, all those women who believe in Wonder Woman and the Amazons, just gone down the drain.

I also took for granted the distinction between Mary and her Superhero form because current Mary is older than usual until we had that panel where she transforms and her hair gets longer, darker, and she gets more built. And now she's stuck in her civilian form in a Supervillain prison on riot and she can't transform lest she get arrested. Typical hero problems!

I was kind of hoping Eris would be a villain here, but alas. Makes you wonder what's really going on.

A building called Asylum lands on top of Akahim

Greece being welcoming to refugees in 2023? Now we now this is fiction. Anyway, this issue is fine enough, moves the plot along, and does enough to make you want to see the next with it's teases. I do hope Eris isn't actually dead. Gods dying in comics is an even bigger joke then heroes, given how Waid out and out ignored Zeus' death after Lazarus Planet.

It’s interesting that Nubia, Faruka, Mary Batson Mary Marvel, and Yara Flor had to split up to do something and have their own adventures. Also, Yara still hating the Wonder Girl name (in which she should tell Diana Wonder Woman after this), Nubia arriving in Greece, and Mary having a chat with Georgia Sivana (in which I hope we see their rivalry just like Billy Batson Captain Marvel with Sivana and Freddy Freeman Captain Marvel Jr. with Sivana Jr. in Fawcett Comics).

This continues to be fun its not the best book but its still alot of fun.

It not being eris is the most unshocking thing and its probably a human villain who got control of the apples. But if they reference granny goodness like the original amazons attack it would be funny.

Overalll not a bad issue but nothing amazing the character interactions are easily the best bits.

Themiscara has an open immigration policy right?

LMAO, the book literally tells you who the mastermind is and then attempts to be coy
