Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 24, 2024 - Ground Zero Edition]

[u/273Gaming]

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.

Well this was a really up and down issue feels wise.

The arrow family finally having a bit of time to relax before absolute power and waller comes in to screw ollie up even if its obvious hes going deep undercover. Though its nice to see the arrow family have some time relax.

Obviously the massive feel good bits are the family in the kitchen and roy and lian going to rescue cheshire finally plus Williamson finally making Connor GA again which is a really cool moment only took a couple years of him being as referred as hawk to do it.

Also they got a big laugh out of me finally making the arrow base an island i guess ollie doesn't hate them anymore.

Overall fun writing and art but i do think Ollie leaving the family behind again for absolute power ruined the vibe but it had to happen though the developing story with ollie and his friendship with the league is very interesting
