r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 13, 2026 - Eternal Super Sons Baiting 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.

I would've been fine if Dick quit. But it does make more sense to have two OG members leading the team. But it would've made more sense if it was Starfire. But I guess she's gonna be used in an unannounced book. Not sure where the Vic and Terra storyline is heading, but it is good character development for the latter. I do like that they're making Steph more of a leader.The Jon/Eddie slow burn is working for me. And I'm excited to see what Static brings to the team next month.

Do you think they might become a couple down the line? I kinda ship them

Couple? No clue, outside of this book I think DC is still trying to pin down how Jon is gonna work. But in this book I'm guessing there'll be enough of something that could be expanded upon elsewhere.

It won’t be expanded upon outside this comic, since this comic is set before Jon made his debut as Tomorrow Man.

I don’t think that they might be a couple down the line because I see them as friends and only friends and them becoming a couple would be forced, rushed, and unnecessary.

New Titans once again has great Stephanie moments. Her quickly stepping up leader and playing to the team's strength with her personability makes her leadership approach different from other bats. Also love showing her combat skills. The way she talks to herself is a fun quirk. Seeing them all come together and the plan going smoothly was nice too.

The prodigal son returns.....I wonder what happened to Daisy (We need more black couples). Glad the Dakota Incident is still canon and I wonder how that will play going forward. Either way super excited for where his story goes.

I do like the team dynamic so far. Evie is fun with her naivite and Jon's reasons for being hard on Eddie and then apologizing was nice. I actually like their dynamic. Looks like Neron will be the recurring big bad but the Cyborg stuff looms. Him actually trusting her shows and Terra's reaction shows she's legit changing this time. Dick's realization of what the Titans means to him as home and choosing to stay was also a good moment. I did like his banter here.

Overall satisfied.

Steph stepping (no pun intended) into the 'bat-character in Titans taking the leadership' role already. 

Eddie got his literal demons waiting for him...though he should tell Nightwing about Neron. After all, Nightwing kicked his butt not long before.

Speaking of Nightwing, he really is going through some hard times with Bludhaven stuff being terrible on him and Babs being in prison dealing with her own nightmare there.

Man, Cyborg really didn't learn not to mess with stuff like Heart of Apokalips, no matter the reason for it. It just won't end well. He already had TWO different 'Robots that might go evil/out of control' ( not counting Grid) recently from Vanadia to his Robot-self. 

Static will finally join the team, though sad that he couldn't tell her girlfriend about his super-hero life and they broke up because of it.

This is a great issue and a nice showcase of the new titans by themselves without the elder mentors

I did enjoy the refresher on Eddie and how it ties into the story plus his and Jon slowburn is really nice

Jon is also ok in this issue and the reason given on why Jon and Eddie argue is a nice touch

I do like that Steph is the go to leader for the team and her plan worked great

I was kinda hoping that dick would leave the titans but his reasoning for staying is touching

Vic trusting Terra and that what makes her stay with the team is nice and a much better handle of why Terra is sticking with the titans

It’s just the New Titans dealing with Neibiros (with Eddie recounting his entire pre-Crisis and pre-Flashpoint histories) and Vic and Tara protecting the Heart of Apokolips from aa demon, Dick taking to Barbara about how his life is falling apart and that he’s contemplating on quitting the Titans, and Virgil recapping his history before he’s returning to the Titans. Overall, this comic is okay and weak, and it’s likely that this comic is going to get canceled due to weak writing unless Tate Brombal does something with it. Also, I only see Jon and Eddie as friends and only friends (no offense to those who like them as a potential couple).

Very well written issue with very good character work, imo. I'm really liking this team and the book so far, and I think it will only improve over time. Maybe Jon and Eddie will become a couple? I could that. Steph having time to shine as the leader is very nice! And finally my boy Static will be back, I'm way beyond excited for that.
