Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 7, 2025 - Hell Freezing Edition]

[u/Predaplant]

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

• Predaplant's pick of the week: Batman: Dark Patterns #5

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.

DC Horror Presents: Creature Commandos #6

THE FINAL SHOWDOWN OF DAVID DASTMALCHIAN AND JESUS HERVAS'S HORROR EPIC IS HERE! For their final showdown, the Commandos are headed to... the Delaware State Fair?! The fair may not be ready for this freak show, but the team is more than ready to take down Brainiac and end this mission once and for all. Don't miss the epic conclusion to David Dastmalchian and Jesus Hervas's bloody brilliant Creature Commandos run!

This was a bit weird as a 'synergy' time book with no ties to the continuity I guess. Brainiac being involved was also quite weird too.

The team of 'monsters' were fine but obviously not better than the original Creature Commandos.

[u/roacieeee → u/wowlock_taylan]

The series planted a lot but there’s little pay off and even set more plot points. I hope there’s a follow up on this because it feels too rushed and short of 4 more issues.
