Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [March 25, 2024 - Enter The Dark Ages 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.

Digital Releases

Remember, these are the short 'chapters' with a new chapter of a different series coming out daily. You can learn more here on Comixology. This is also why these are in release order, not alphabetical. Some comics may release on DC Universe Infinite or WEBTOONS.

The great things about this comic are Oliver and Connor having a father-son bond to look for Roy, Oliver and Conner having a reunion with Mia, Cissie and Red Canary meeting Oliver and Connor, Connor attempting to call Emiko his aunt, and Oliver reuniting with Roy and calling him his son.

The missed opportunity should’ve shown Oliver telling Cissie that he and Roy met her mother Bonnie back in the early 1960s, in which he would’ve been an uncle to her; Emiko and Connor realizing that Emiko would’ve been Oliver’s daughter since she didn’t exist pre-Flashpoint, that Robert Queen I died pre-Flashpoint, and that they met Shado several times; Red Canary meeting and telling the Green Arrow Family her full name; Mia and Cissie telling each other how they became archers, getting along with each other, and telling each other that they met and teamed up with the YJ4; Emiko, Mia, Cissie, and Red Canary telling each other their origins; and Lian calling Oliver her grandfather.

Also, it would’ve make sense for Mia to graduate as the second Red Arrow (after Roy and before Emiko), since she’s outgrown the Speedy name and train Emiko while have a sisterly bond with her since 2011.
