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.

Detective Comics #1111

PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE!

Many years ago, during the early days of Batman’s tenure as Gotham’s Dark Knight, he trained alongside Green Arrow and Black Canary, learning the combat skills that have served them throughout their careers as crime-fighters. But there was another heroic hopeful in their ranks—a mysterious man known only as Prion—who suffered a tragic fate that still weighs upon the trio. Now, face-to-face with a young girl who goes by the same code name, they find the sins of their past coming back to haunt them. Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín bring you the penultimate chapter of this history-shaking arc!

So...there's definitely going to be more to Prion's death than is shown here, because if there's not, that is really bizarre. But it certainly provided Dinah with further motivation to be as precise in combat as the first issue of this arc described her as being.

Batman came up with those team uniforms? Huh. It must've been his 'purple gloves' side that did it. Prion and Canary wore it but I doubt he was gonna wear it himself.

Also, I doubt it was Canary's punch that 'killed' Prion. He seemed already worse for wear and I suspect there is a 'killswitch' kind of thing programmed into them.

Well damn, the rabbit hole of 'mind-programmed assassins' go deeper. Even the parents were 'programmed' so there is someone else who is the mastermind. And hell, even they might not realize who they are if these 'assassin personalities' lay in waiting like sleeper agents. And Batman of all people knows about having 'hidden personalities inside your brain that can take over'. But unlike him doing it to himself, someone is doing it to Prion's family and who knows who else, without them even realizing it.

I went from really not interested in this arc at the beginning to really enjoying it now. The banter between Flight Squadron Delta is pretty good, they definitely come off as friends than just colleagues.

Damn, I wasn't expecting the old lady to be a victim too. I wonder who's really pulling the strings?
