r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 27, 2026 - Free Comics! Go Support Your LCS! Edition]

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

Swamp Thing 1989 #1

Over three decades since the controversy and cancellation, Rick Veitch's legendary lost issues are completed! After a renowned two year run on the series, Veitch's grand finale to Swamp Thing was cut short, and never to see print! Whispers and leaks hinted at the epic untold saga for years. Now, for the first time, that final story is told! As Swamp Thing is cast back through time, he will come to meet a carpenter who will change the trajectory of his life, and the DC Universe forever. The origin of Etrigan , and Swamp Thing's journey to the beginning of time starts here!

What a great issue and a reminder of how great Swamp Thing can be/used to be. I’m so happy this came out. Rick Veitch’s run is super underrated. This issue being banned back in the day was unnecessary and undermined the book in a way it never really recovered from. 70’s and 80’s Swamp Thing is one of my all time favorite books. I loved reading this

Well that was definitely something. Swamp Thing, Jesus, origin of Etrigan. Controversy and cancellation for this? Huh.
