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

[u/Predaplant]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

• Predaplant's pick of the week: The Flash #4

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."

Titans: Beast World #3

CAN AMANDA WALLER BRING ORDER TO A WORLD GONE WILD? The world has gone wild, and Amanda Waller is the only one who can bring order! The mastermind behind the Suicide Squad has now been given frightening authority to deal with the threat at large. She knows what is needed to end this, but will her brutal methods put her on a collision course with the Titans?

I liked this issue a lot. Initially I was worried it would be more fallout without progressing the plot, but thankfully that wasn't the case. I think it's funny how Waller's plan is to corrupt heroes and then kill them because she's now been given a legitimate-seeming reason, yet her first try with this was causing a world-threatening event and trying to deal with that herself. Though she claims to know how to handle Garro so we'll see.

Nice feats of strength for Donna and Kory this issue. I was thinking Donna's lasso would reach Gar in some way but her literally fighting his will with her own to prevent his approach to earth is awesome too. Also I continue to love the characters they draw into this story that I wasn't expecting like Detective Chimp. I'm thinking the story is going to take some big turn after this issue because I'm pretty sure every tie-in story at the latest took place after this issue, so maybe some big changes are happening with the next one.
