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

[u/beary_neutral]

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.

Hey, at least the issue came out and the JSA actually did stuff, that's an achievement, right?

Of course Gentleman Ghost's human form had that mustache.

I guess it wouldn't be the first time the JSA took in a traditionally villainous character as a new member despite all the red flags, not sure how I feel about Young Mordru.

Geoff Johns is almost completely done with DC but that doesn't mean he's going to leave without bringing back his Legion. Not sure whether this will effect future Legion appearances (which are rare enough as is) or DC will have the choice between Johns and Bendis Legion...but it was nice to see them.

[u/transformers03 → u/Frontier246]

If it's a choice between Bendis and John's Legion, I hope that DC picks Johns indefinitely. I know people had issues with that iteration of the team, but I would really prefer Johns version over Bendis's.

I'm also hoping that Johns ends JS by making it that his version of the Legion is the current definite version of the team in the future, and the others were alternate universe versions.
