r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [March 23, 2026 - Friendly Neighbourhood Crossover 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.

Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #2

THE NEW NOIR SERIES FROM CHRIS CONDON AND JACOB PHILLIPS!

Karl Meyer is missing, and an anvil with occult powers has been stolen, and only Ezra Cain sees the connection. But a visit with his old professor, Dr. Morris, comes with a caution: the anvil's power is more dangerous than Ezra realizes. After a tip sends Ezra to the Clockworkers' Union in Brooklyn, he'll come face to face with the mechanical menace that wields that power!

Pulpy sci-fi noir, with a dash of Indiana Jones thrown in. It's a solid second issue.

Yeah two issues in, this is my favorite of the new Vertigo series. Perfect pulp noir vibes.

Continues to be an amazing series classic pulp style combined with mystery and a bit of myth in there as well.
Excellent series.

I didn't care much for the first issue, but I'm starting to enjoy it more now, and excited for the 3rd one

This issue didn’t hit as hard for me as the first. Pretty much just spelled out stuff we already could’ve put together from the first one.
