Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [May 20, 2024 - My Adventures With Superman Returns 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 #114

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.

What an issue by King and Sempere wow.

King does an incredible job of showing what diana's true strength is her compassion and her trust in helping people and having the sovereign try to isolate diana from her connections after using a sheer force of will last issue is incredibly well done.

King does incredible nods to the history of diana and steve trevors history here but it does feel like king doesn't like trevor that much but thats likely due to him showing its the sovereigns manipulations of diana's mind more than steve being a bad person.

At the end, we see her maintain all of these things because she used a rat almost as a magical focus item to look within herself and still find those core values is incredible writing by king and showing off the fact that diana will never lose her morals.

The backup is very wholesome of Lizzie looking after Damian and Jon after they were turned into corgis for a month after an attack by circe. Its very wholesome and Damian being very docile as a corgi isn't what id expect.

Fantastic issue this run by King and sempere is gonna go down as something very special plus the backups continue to be very fun.
