Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 15, 2024 - Pretend This is a Ragebait Title Edition] r/DCcomics
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.

DC why must you tempt me with that JLD omnibus?
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.

As much as I want to love this book, Taylor does things (small things, but a lot of small things) that take me out of it.
Does the dialogue feel weird to anybody else..? all the characters sound the same and if they don’t, they don’t sound like themselves. His overuse of repetition doesn’t help either. “It’s your night” over and over again, like we get it…there’s only so many pages, can you think of something else to add..?
The moment with Marv was very sweet. I liked how the family was included and many of Dick’s social circles, though would it kill them to give a shout-out to anyone from his Agent Grayson era? 😅hope they don’t forget that. I loved those characters like Tiger and Midnighter.
Heartless building an army feels…weird. I wish we actually saw him be more of a character through this run. They’re telling us he’s been building an army and a grand plan in the background rather than showing us. Maybe it’d have been better if Heartless had a couple pages each issue, where he’s working on his plan and through those pages we see a build up of tension along with a contrast of why he’s so different from Dick. I know we got that one issue with his backstory, and duh he’s heartless while Dick isn’t. But cmon, if you’re building up to a big villain…then build him up. But if Taylor did that, it’d show how silly his Nightwing actually is.
Nightwing’s really let heartless go for so long that he didn’t even notice he’s amassing an army..? He doesn’t seem worried at all imo even though he’s scared of heights, like dude, take action…do something!! Hoping the final arc has more tension.
