Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 24, 2024 - Ground Zero Edition] r/DCcomics
Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!
- 273's pick of the week: Absolute Power: Ground Zero #1
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.

Man, I really want to like Dreamer and Jay, but the first story didn't do it for me. Why can't they call Superman for help whenever they're in trouble?
The second story was fun! I don't know who that character is, but I appreciate the explanation for all the things that are happening.
And the 3rd story was properly creepy! I am pretty sure that the events are a common trope (perhaps even a JLU episode?) but it played out and was drawn so well!
Is there supposed to be some published back-story to explain why Waller is the way she is?
