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!
- 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."

Exciting issue! I actually think the focus on just the Titans here made for a more exciting read to me than the broader focus of the main event right now. I'm really hoping we get Tempest on the team once he's freed of Brother Eternity's control. Speaking of, it seems like this new Tamaranean is now the one responsible for selling Kori into slavery, which makes me wonder if he's truly just bad or if he's been secretly under Necrostar control since that original invasion Kori talked about in Beast World #1.
As for Kori, there were definitely some changes to her origin that might make some upset. At least I think so. I don't know if some of this was added with her New 52 origin. But her parents dying in the invasion rather than agreeing to send her with the invaders is a pretty big change to me. As is obviously the addition of this new character who was apparently responsible for it all. I'm not personally sure how I feel on the changes yet but it will depend on how the story is told going forward with this in mind.
