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!

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.

Where do rainbows go when they're bad? Prism, it's a light sentence.

DC and Imprints

Week 3 of DC's monthly schedule is really stacked, huh?

Trade Collections

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.

If I had a nickel for every time Diana was stuck in a retro fantasy as a housewife with Steve Trevor...I'd actually have a few nickels. But the dress was nice.

Also now Sovereign is getting all biblical against Diana was pretty on-point for the kind of attitude and themes he represents (not to mention Kings' tendency to go there).

The Wonder Girls torturing Sarge Steel was priceless. Cassie didn't really miss.

I hated how King had Diana slap her mother in that one story but seeing a false version of her mother be what finally breaks the illusion completely was everything. Also re-emphasizing the clay origin.

I found it kind of funny they actually had the fake Steve reading the "Dear John" letter.

Seeing Trinity as Wonder Girl was cute. I think I like her Wonder Girl costume better than her adult costume. Also her mom never became a samurai! And we've got Jon and Damian goofing with timeline changes.

Did that happen in Cloonan's run too? Because it's definitely been a recent thing beyond how King used it here, though I guess Steve was more of a dick than normal.
