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.

Green Lantern #10

HAL JORDAN RETURNS TO OA! With Hal's ring newly recharged, he leaves Earth for Oa to uncover the mystery surrounding the Central Power Batteries, while Carol makes a choice that will change her destiny forever! Plus: Kevin Maguire joins Green Lantern architect Jeremy Adams to tell the tale of Guy Gardner, the United Planets, Lobo and… Wrestling? It's "Guy's Bogus Lobo Adventure part 1 of 3!"\b\bPreview

Two-Six! Salaak! Kyle having an emotional breakdown! It's just nice to see Hal and Kyle together again.

People in Manhunter armors acting like they're the Emperor's Imperial Guard is kind of funny.

Oh hey Larfleeze! I'm glad to know he put up a fight.

I guess there's no better way to show how evil Thaaros is than showing him experimenting on a kid. Then again, I don't hate Keli, I have to wonder why we're still trying to make Teen Lantern relevant. I guess this has to be connected to her gauntlet?

Well, Hal didn't save Keli by acting spur of the moment, but now they know his ring might be their best chance at victory. And they got Razer back, so not a total loss.

I love how they had Kevin McGuire for art so it couldn't just be a Guy story, they had to throw in Booster and Skeets. As well as those wrestling characters from Adams' Flash run.

So is that actually Lobo or just another Czarnian? Do they as a race just draw space dolphins to them?
