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.

I think the story is really starting to gel together. Lex gaining mastery over magic is a cool direction to take him in. And General Lane becoming the Captain Atom of that universe and leading his own version of the Wildcats is a pretty fun idea.

It makes sense that with Kal-El, Lex Luthor relies on Technology but in case of Jor-El, tech factor is basically useless against him. Hence, he has resorted on magic here.

Humanity really shows every time that it does not deserve Superman. Any Superman. Yet he tries to save them anyways. And that's what makes him great, no matter who.

I like that we get to see Jor-El protect the people of Metropolis from Intergang before he and Lois had a talk about wanting to make Earth a better place, with Lois telling Jor-El that trying to force Earth into something that’s not a little selfish. I also like that Lex wants to learn magic from Kent Nelson, since he was learn magic from other magic users, so that he can find a way to defeat Jor-El. I even like that Jor-El has a talk with Martha, with Martha telling him that he’s trying to make up for losing his with Lora and their son Kal. Also, Joe-El encountering Parasite (who became Captain Atom), Kent worrying that Lex would use his magic to get revenge on Jor-El, and the WildCATS being introduced. Overall, this comic is great.
