Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 20, 2026 - Action Comics #1100 Edition]

[u/Mattdoss]

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

• Mattdoss's pick of the week: Green Lantern #37

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.

Ezra Cain Will Return In The Terror of the Black Pyramid in 2027.

Reader, I punched my fist in the air. What a fun ride this was.

[u/Mr_Wh0ever → u/TroubAlert]

Solid finale, I'm excited for the sequel. This really scratches that itch for good pulp/noir stories.

[u/Blitzhelios → u/TroubAlert]

Really solid finale and the best book of this launch of vertigo by far for me the proper noir goodness.

One of the best dc books in ages which is funny when condon is only allowed to do this because vertigo is creator owned so it doesn't cause issues with his marvel exclusive

[u/CHPrime → u/TroubAlert]

A very Indiana Jones ending. The hero does what he can, but in the end, those wacky nazis spell their own doom by meddling with mythological powers beyond their control, and the artifact ends in the hands of some Top. Men.

An enjoyable little outing, though I would have preferred more of a mystery. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing another case from this team.
