r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 13, 2026 - Eternal Super Sons Baiting 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.

Deathstroke: The Terminator #5

DEATHSTROKE V. DEATHSTROKE! As the timer runs out on his latest job, Slade Wilson comes face-to-face with his greatest nightmare... himself! Another Deathstroke is on the loose in the DCU, and everyone's a target. Will Slade get his kill, or is he about to be terminated?

Honestly, the crazier reveal was that he was working with someone from the Watchtower. And I'm suprised Rose isn't putting up more of a fight. It'd suck if she actually died there. But I figure Deathblow is gonna turn on Adeline.

Yeah the cmd terminal open had the username 'Danny' but I can't think of any existing characters under that name.

There’s Danny The Street. That’s probably not him though.

...OK, now I kinda want this to happen. Sounds like an amazing team up.

Neat issue and an interesting comic overall if you ignore the continuity issues

The surprise of slade working with someone on the watchtower is a crazy reveal I think it’s Danny chase

If Danny is his first name then it sounds like the informant was Danny Chase given his espionage and spy background and I doubt he's dead. Its weird how dc hasn't done anything with his character given his position as a former titan. He's been gone long enough to the point where you can completely rework him.

Adeline being the shock reveal is no surprise it had to be someone close to slade and its a very fleecs character.
Not a bad issue but its fun.

I'm not digging this - it's spinning it's wheels and also Deathstroke is too much of a whinner in this version.

Of course it was gonna be Adeline...Was obvious from the start.

Someone get Rose out of this mess. I don't care for her to be used in this like that.

And who the hell would HELP Deathstroke in the Justice League?!
