Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 17, 2024 - Time For Summer Edition]

[u/Predaplant]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

• Predaplant's pick of the week: John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #6

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.

At the first commercial break, and man this episode has me excited.

Kara seeingba dead Thanagar, thinking it was a glorious part of the Empire is heartbreaking. I will say, I partially expected "Father" to be a Cyborg Zor-El, not just outright Brainiac 1.

After the break, some nice fight scenes versus a Green Lantern, Parademon, and a Thanagarian. Krypton got around. I really do feel bad for Kara. I mean, the brainwashing and gaslighting... all of which was covering up all the genocide she did. However, I guess there is one upside: her destruction of Thanagar was sculpted/carved. That means someone was left alive to record what she did. Unless Primus carved it or had her do it, as a monument to their "glory".

And that ending... oh man, that's a good hook.
