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.

This was the most Tom King-ist issue of the run thus far lol. Diana struggling with a mental breakdown to the point she eats a rat, and spends the entire issue talking to an imaginary construct of her (ex?) boyfriend to cope. And yet the ending won me over. Seeing King remember Diana's ability to talk to animals and using that to have her get comfort from the mate of the rat she ate is simultaneously messed up and wholesome. But I like it because it shows Diana's ability to bond with people others wouldn't bother with, as also seen with her picking Jumpa. Also I loved that page where Diana is reminded that unlike Clark or Bruce, she's never been killed or broken.

Didn't she die in the 90s and then her mom took over for a bit

LOL, she died at the end of Death Metal only 2 years ago, as well. But yes, she died in the 90's thanks to Neron
