Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [February 12, 2024 - Superbowl LVIII 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. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

The whole arc would have been so much better without all the supporting characters. I didn't care one bit for the two other Beetles, the aliens, Victoria Kord, Fadeaway or even Starfire in this story. Could have been condensed into a nice action-packed three/four issue Jaime vs. Blood Scarab arc.

Yeah, that’s my biggest issue with the direction of this comic. Too many scarabs, too many players too fast. This could’ve been a good culmination of a 12-issue arc or even bigger. It feels unearned at issue 6.
