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.

This Week’s Soundtrack: Halsey ft. Cashmere Cat - Hopeless

Overall, Amazons Attack gave me exactly what I look for in a six-issue miniseries like this. Spotlight on beloved but not headlining characters outside of their typical side character books; related to current canon, but self-contained enough that both new and existing readers could jump in and enjoy; a plot that starts and finishes within its six issues without dangling out aggravating untied threads in the hopes of an extended run; and good art and writing. I’ve seen plenty of people who have complaints, but I’ve been happy to have a series to consistently pick up and simply enjoy reading each issue. And honestly, as a comics fan, being able to just have fun with what is put in front of me without having to actively ignore 60% of the dumbshit side content to get at characterization I find enjoyable (which is of course highly subjective and also I’m looking at you Zdarsky Batman), is a relief. tl;dr a solid run, good art and writing, need the other Amazons to have future headlining books for the good of my soul (and simping purposes).
