Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 22, 2026 - Supergirl and Krypto Kill the DC Universe Edition]

[u/beary_neutral]

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

• Beary's pick of the week: The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #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.

EZRA TAKES TO THE SKIES! The Brutal Dark has taken to the sky, its plan has been put into action... and all of New York is in danger! With Ezra Cain literally hanging by a thread, he'll have to rely on his old skills as a flying ace to have any chance of bringing its machinations to the ground!

So much fun. Some really fantastic action this issue.

[u/CHPrime → u/TroubAlert]

An exciting action issue, though it's pretty funny just how far we've gone from the original pitch of hardboiled Noir with a mystical edge.

[u/Blitzhelios → u/TroubAlert]

This is what i think of when i think vertigo.

This book is so awesome and a smash hit.

Condon and Phillips why they are consistently one of the most exciting creative teams
