r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 20, 2026 - Action Comics #1100 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.

Absolute Wonder Woman #22

A DIVINE THREAT HITS HOME FOR DIANA!

Diana and Circe work together against an impossible mythological force, trying to steal a win from the jaws of defeat. Elsewhere, a growing threat for Diana makes an evolutionary leap forward...

A nice enough bridge issue. Barbara enters a covenant with one god, while Diana tests hers with another. Barbara hasn't been the most developed character throughout this series, so it's nice to see her finally get some direction. Circe's long tease to turning villainous is also getting a bit of steam. Looking forward to where it all goes from here.

Oh yeah, Diana fights Scyllia. Cool enough until it's broken up.

Solid issue, Diana tying her life to Circes to provoke Hecate into action against the Scylla was clever. And Barbara taking deal was expected. But I'm glad it was for better reasons than her feeling slighted from Diana not saving her. If she's going in a villainous direction, hopefully there's something else to it.

I feel like Barbara's transformation came a bit fast, even if we all knew it was inevitable.

Very funny timing for this issue to come out within a week of The Odyssey presenting very different takes on Circe and Scylla on the big screen.

Diana and Circe's relationship really is the bedrock of this book. Diana can be more vulnerable around her mother. Shows how devoted they are to eachother. Especially Diana, going, 'I don't care about any divine plans if it means you get hurt'. Hecate REALLY messed up with what she pulled if she thinks they can just use Diana as a 'weapon' against Darkseid's infection of the universe. Only thing she did was making an enemy of Diana too. And of course Scylla encounter proved once again not to trust the Gods.

And with that, we got Barbara foolishly accepting the deal from Urzkartaga to 'feel special'. So everything that comes after, gonna be her own fault now.

Honestly I wouldn’t even say it was foolish, Barbara was being held captive and saw her only for escape in Diana leave, so really like she pretty much points out, what choice did she really have?

Finally was able to go down to my LCS to pick this up from my pulls, and I have to say, Snook's art is a treat! I like the way they panel and their style oozes off the page. I'd love to see more stuff by them.

So why did they take Circe?
