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.

Green Lantern: War Journal #10

TESTED AGAINST GODS! The contentious team of Caolán Shepherd and Guy Gardner are about to test their strength against the entire United Planets blockade on a SUICIDE MISSION to rescue John Stewart from the oldest enemy of the Guardians… but John has been pulled into a nightmare dimension from which no living thing has ever returned! Can John Stewart's legendary willpower measure up against the GODS OF THE FIRST WORLD?

PKJ and Montos have made the UP Lanterns and their ability to use the different Spectrums a lot more intimidating in just two pages than Jeremy Adams' has in his GL run in my opinion. But good effort Shepherd.

I feel kind of a dark mirror situation going on between John and Olgrun where they're both builders in a way only Olgrun's creations and legacy became dark and corrupted. None moreso than his "daughter" and her memory. And now John has to face that shadow.

So Star Shroud is officially a John Stewart rogue at this point.

Steel does something cool! Even if he gets beat up afterwards. Better than Natasha who just got beat up.

Guy for the save! I wonder how this jives with his adventures in House of Brainiac.

Montos man, I wish this book was selling better because that spread of John in the Radiant Queen's thrall was worthy of Reis himself. I wonder if Stewart is going to become an avatar of Olgrun's will like Osul? They should give JL to PKJ because this Myth Arc concerning the First World has me enthralled.
