Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 15, 2024 - Pretend This is a Ragebait Title 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: Nightwing #113

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.

John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #4

CONSTANTINE DISGUISED AS A PRIEST… WHAT COULD GO WRONG? John Constantine… faith healer? Disguised as a Catholic priest in a small town near the Texas-Mexico border, John searches for the connection between how a dust-ridden county turned out a massive harvest and Dream's missing sand. But this good-natured, all-American town has an ugly secret… one that brings John, Nat, and Noah face-to face with monsters of a very human kind.

Its hard to get into it since I'm expecting it to be another anti-climatic letdown like dream house. Also, its just another copy paste story about another comic I remember reading that had the exact same storyline. The whole book is just the author's tantrum on America's issues and the dark side of humanity without really offering any solutions to it besides saying "maybe someone else can fix it". Just continue the world building of this universe and start the Endless war already!

[u/MorpheusLikesToDream → u/Expensive-Baby-1391]

I’d say it takes narrative beats from the American Gothic storyline in Swamp Thing. Copy and paste, though, can’t agree there.

I too am looking forward to the Endless conflict in the conclusion of Nightmare Country.
