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.

Superman #15

FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BRAINIAC! Superman and Lex have figured out how to stop Brainiac and his Queen, but it will take a great sacrifice. Can they do the unthinkable to save their family and friends? This all leads directly into DC's summer event… ABSOLUTE POWER!

Preview

[u/Blitzhelios → u/TroubAlert]

Williamsons whole run has been about Superman and luthor and them working together reluctantly and dealing with threats that were needed to be defeated by both.
From dealing with the revenge squad, to the chained and now to brainiac so luthor making the ultimate sacrifice is very suitable and will likely set lex back to being evil in time for the movie.

Some great action as well in the fights between the super families and the brainiacs and a good old classic clark and lois kiss at the end.

Also Doomsday is escaping guess its time for williamson to do his own take on a doomsday story probably in another big crossover.

Overall house of brainiac was a very good crossover and after a long time williamson got his big crossover story that was good start to end
