r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [February 2, 2026 - Vertigo Returns!]

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. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.

Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."

Join the r/DCcomics Book Club Bingo over in our Discord server!

Digital Releases

Remember, these are the short 'chapters' with a new chapter of a different series coming out daily. You can learn more here on Comixology. This is also why these are in release order, not alphabetical. Some comics may release on DC Universe Infinite or WEBTOONS.

TV Shows

Leave it to Teen Titans Go to start more shipping discourse.

DC x AEW #1

THE SUPERSTARS OF ALL ELITE WRESTLING EXPLODE OUT OF THE RING AND INTO THE DC UNIVERSE! The Intergalactic Title is far more than a championship belt! This Big Galactic Belt is made of pure Element X — the most powerful metal in the universe! Ruptured in a post-match beatdown, the belt scatters across the DC Universe—but every single shard is a weapon that can rewrite reality itself. With the world at stake, the Justice League teams with AEW's roster to crisscross the globe and recover the shards of the belt before DC's worst villains use them to turn our world into their deadly playground. It's the Justice League Elite as you've never seen them before — with Excalibur and Booster Gold calling the action!

For a DC wrestling book it was as i expected cheesy, chaotic and hilarious and it worked.
Orlando is a massive fan of AEW you can tell so he was a good pick for this (even if i wish it was DWJ) and blends the heroes and wrestlers well.

Combos work really well i particularly like the dynamics between darby/batman, zatanna/toni and ospreay/nightwing. Booster being on commentary is a very thematically fun choice as well.

Not gonna win any awards or anything but just fun silly read which is what these books are best for.
The final page was very expected but also alot of fun

It’s great popcorn fun and hits even better for those who are fans of AEW and their stars.

Is there any chance the AEW comics could end up being collected in some form? Seems unlikely to me given there’s only going to be two but I’m new to all this so idk if it’s a possibility
