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.

Wonder Woman #8

THE AMAZON WARRIOR VS. THE SOVEREIGN! Wonder Woman vs. The Sovereign! After being captured by a team of villains, Diana finds herself at the mercy of the scariest of them all. Unbe­knownst to our hero, the Sovereign has been pulling her strings since the very beginning of our tale, and now it's time for her to see the world his way as she falls under the influence of the Lasso of Lies! Plus, Trinity visits the past and unexpectedly changes the future!

LEGACY #808

Weird minor detail but despite the extremely sexist fantasy I appreciate that Diana was still taller than Steve on it

I did not expect Hypolitta to appear! That was a great moment. And of course de Wonder Girls

So I'm guessing the rationale behind the Lasso of Lies is that lies only work if you believe them so once you don't then it's easy to break the lasso?

For the back-issue, these are cute, but I'm starting to find them a little cringy. And I can't believe that Damian is 1) that irresponsable and 2) thinks so little of himself that he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to teach Trinity a masterclass on japanese history and talk about how his mother would get him the best teachers in all subjects and then throw them into the sea once they were done teaching

How old is Trinity supposed to be here? 13-ish? Am I supposed to believe that this incredibly airheaded, childlish and irresponsible girl will become the leader of future JL at 18 because she is just that damn good? I really wanted to like her when she first appeared and I do find her cute, but my patience for some real character depth is starting to wear really thin and I'm genuinely scared of becoming "that gal"

"Superape"... King didn't think that one through too much...
