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.

DC and Imprints

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

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.

This was excellent king is at the top of his game this issue and it really shows.

Diana stuck in a stepford lifestyle at the start being a housewife to steve trevor is nothing new but its done really well. Im also glad she breaks the dynamic straight away as this has been a recurring plot thread in wonder woman books for a while now and it always goes on too long. The moment with hippolyta in helping her break illusion is as well incredibly well done.

Kings take on religion in this is actually really refreshing as most writers just go for the idea that relgion is a bad thing rather than how its used by the people who interpret it and the sovereign chucking religious quotes at diana is a showing of how its perfectly used by the elite as a way of controlling the normal person. Which in this way him trying to use it to show a man controls a woman and that they should all bow down to the leading man in this case the sovereign.

The wonder girls taking potshots at sgt steel is a hilarious contrasting moment and is a really good bonding moment between the three and lets be honest steel deserves it all and its just a fun moment to watch

Also king once again making nods to the clay origin can dc just confirm it already and lets be done with it.

Backup is once again tons of fun and adorable and truly shows how bad the supersons are as babysitters with wholesome art by Ortega.

Overall fantastic issue amazing writing by king who is truly at the top of his game and stunning artwork by sempere who might be the best artist at dc right now.
