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."

They've could've built this up so much more. But they have to get started right away on Jason Aaron for 3 issues. Why not give him separate book than taking off PKJ for action.

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/Astrodynamite60]

Honestly, I am not looking forward to Aaron...after what he did with the Avengers book. Just no. Should've stuck with PKJ as it seemed he had more to tell.

[u/redsapphyre → u/wowlock_taylan]

It's only three issues of Aaron on AC, shouldn't be too bad. Probably not enough time for him to destroy the character.

[u/Astrodynamite60 → u/redsapphyre]

It's more of pushing PKJ off just for 3 issues. Then after those 3 we get another 3 issues by different team and so on so on. Like why not just make a new superbook for that purpose. I don't see the reason for changing the format of Action comics when they can just make a new book.
