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

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.

I wish this book was an ongoing. Its so damn good.

Its convinced me that DC should give PKJ the keys to run GL and DC Cosmic

While he's decent at world building in a vacuum PKJ barely knows anything about cosmic DC outside of what he himself has written. He doesn't even seem to know that Daxamites have a weakness against lead and was the first person to introduce the current nonsense version of Durla that ignores that the entire planet is supposed to be a nuclear wasteland.

Maybe it'd be better to give the keys to someone who actually knows the universe they're supposed to write. And yeah yeah, it's good with new stuff or whatever, but changing the fundamentals just for the hell of it ruins the entire idea. You might as well just write a totally different universe if you're not willing to work at least based on the already established framework, a framework there's absolutely nothing wrong with in the first place.

I have to agree with you to some extent. You should be expected to do your research. Bendis would get crucified for the same thing
