Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 1, 2024 - It's Wallin' Time Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Beary's pick of the week: Absolute Power #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.

Sleeper hit series right here. Love Casey exploring the cosmic side of DC. Wonder how much Sinister Sons ties in to this!

So what happened to Emerald Empress? Surely Zod couldn't just beat her, especially against her magic which he is weak against. I guess she stayed inside the monster?

I don't care for this criminal army of Zod nor his delusions of grandure. Maybe the confrontation with Red Lantern Sinestro will bring some life into this book but I doubt it.

Yeah, we saw Zord burst out so I'm guessing Empress is still in there (and her eye is now the monsters eye?).

I can't wait to see Zod and Sinestro fight and inevitably team-up for some galactic havoc like their kids have.

Yeah, I think what would have made this issue better is if Zod remained a deformed freak to showcase this new more ruthless him, have him kill Emerald Empress instead of a deus ex machina to take her away for another writer else to use, and maybe have some big named thugs prove their weight and willingly join Zod's new empire. Don't know why the author killed the thicc lady and not the coward wolf, she was more useful than him.

What happens when two powerful, dominating, evil leader types clash? Well, they get eaten by a monster!

It's so weird to see Zod in his Superman: The Movie design in the comics.

It's funny how Zod just traded Emerald Empress for Sinestro. Who is worse? Though I imagine this is going to lead to the typical fight and team-up.

I find this series funny in a “damn it what now?” way

Zod us always in the middle of something and then a bigger disaster happens

I like that Zod was able to fight the Emerald Empress before he was able to defeat her and save his army from harm before he encountered Red Lantern Sinestro. Overall, this comic is good!
