r/DCcomics

Still relatively new, hopped in with the absolute lines and have been having a ton of fun but these two comics are probably the ones that have grabbed me the most. Pretty easy to hop into, not too big in scale. It feels accessible, just looking for more like this.

Outside of their smaller scale I dont feel like these two are overly similar but the really strong characterization of B&R Y1 has been such a delight for the relatively short run time.

Open to any DC characters as long as its accesible and the stakes aren't too high. Maybe newer too.

Haven’t verified authenticity, but looks real. $8.49. Thought I was going crazy when I saw it after opening the cover.

Thought I would post since the character of Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle turned 20 years old this year and has accumulated quite a bit of outside media and solo comic appearances! I think he’s an example of diversity done right (ie DC never stopped pushing forward with him, even when fans complained loudly in those early years).

Which is your favorite appearance? Which is your favorite comic run? Where will Jaime pop up next? I know he has an animated series in development but hopefully another DCU appearance is on the horizon as well as being playable in the rumored Injustice 3. For the comics, I’d like to see Jaime make his Absolute Universe debut

I feel like I’m being gaslit cuz why does this character with only like 6 appearances total have so many fans. Not even talking about people wanting more from her I’m talking about people who are begging for an ongoing for her and that makes no sense cuz she was made simply as a device for Lex Luthor and after that arc ended she disappeared, rightfully so. I don’t understand what fans mean by “she has so much potential” she does, it was explored so well in that arc. I feel like that’s enough.

Everyone always talks about Cassandra and Barbara's relationship, but I want to read your opinions on this duo. I personally love them. I think they complement each other perfectly, and this run showed great development for both. This duo came at a time when they both needed each other. I wish people appreciated them more. What do you think?
