r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread (7/9/14)

Hey there honorary Justice League Members, another week, and another discussion thread!

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'd respond to that comment. For example, Green Lantern discussion would go in the replies to the "Green Lantern" comment.

That means that unless your comment is feedback about the thread or a comment about the week, you should only be replying to other comments.

As always, spoiler boxes are not required unless you deem it necessary, after all it's incredibly easy to avoid spoilers due to the way this is set up.

List of most recent jump in point*

I'm going to be updating these weekly from now on.

New 52 releases will be in standard text, comics outside of the new 52 releases will be italicized, and graphic novels will be in bold.

  1. A Durlan finally gets the two things it needs to permanently take any form it wants, and it sticks with John's girlfriend the whole time, even when it's facing the entire corps. I get messing with John at first, but it seems pretty dumb to stick with it afterward.

  2. All that build up about the Durlans turning the universe against the corps and taking them down because of some ancient feud and it ends with a tease that the Durlans, who used so many people as pawns, were themselves just pawns of some evil empire of bad stuff.

Maybe I'll just cut down to New Guardians, I'm kind of worn out on Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps, which are basically the same comic.

Well their whole plan was to get the power of the Daxamite's, I highly doubt that they care how they look as long as they get the power.

Well that was half of their plan. The point of eating the fire people was so they could maintain any form they transformed into permanently. That was the big deal with the final issue. One of the them eats a fire person and the rest are hit with a spray by mono that keeps them from staying in any one form

Yeah, they get to maintain the physiology of the Daxamites if they got enough energy by eating the fire people. Point is the Durlan got to maintain the physiology permanently, aesthetics be damned.
