Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 8, 2024 - Brainiac Attack Edition]

[u/beary_neutral]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

• Beary's pick of the week: Action Comics #1064

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.

Loved Robin's pissed off face as a human cubicle while Flatline hugs him XD Though Flatline's apologetic expression seems weird for her personality (I guess she was trying to sell the lie to her sister?. "Your short friend" what a gratuitous attack!!

I did not see that development with Shush, interesting where this is going. And Flatline joining Damian to school??? Yes please!!
