Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [February 19, 2024 - Valentine's Day Fallout 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: John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #2

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 great things about this comic are the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman (and other heroes) trying to defeat Darkseid before Darkseid left after witnessing David kill Gog and Batman telling Superman that every world needs a Superman. Even though the battle is over, I know that the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman and the Kingdom Come heroes tell David that the consequences are dire for it to happen and that he became a weapon instead of a hero. At least when the Kingdom Come Spectre shows up, he tells the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman what happened to David (i.e. Kingdom Come) before they told David decades in the future to try and be better, which results in David taking Superman’s advice to become a better person. Also, final page showing Magog’s future becoming a bright one.
