This month, Alan Scott's Gay Retcon story wraps up on a note worth thinking about, and a DC Transgender character gets pretty hateful! But elsewhere in DC, marriage and family are valued, healthy relationships are explored, and some classic Flash villains are preparing for a comeback! (SEE TIME STAMPS!) RELEASE PERIODS COVERED: DCUI Ultra June 2024, DCUI Standard November 2024, TIME STAMPS 00:01:09 Not a single comic this week was written in a way I enjoy, but at least ONE of them seemingly tried to explore a worthwhile topic. Did they succeed? Not in my book. Reactions to DC Pride 2024, Nightwing Annual 2024, Superman: House Of Brainiac Special 1, & The Flash Annual 2024. 00:15:31 It's coming to a boil in GreenLantern 11, but there's still time in the story to suggest marriage should have value! And Suicide Squad Dream Team 3 unleashes the power, and HATRED, of Transgender DC Character "Dreamer"! What can WE learn from that hatred? 00:37:54 Wonder Woman touches on healthy and unhealthy "need" in relationships, and Alan Scott wraps up its gay retcon of his origin story in a way worth noticing even if you strongly disagree... maybe especially if you do! Reactions to Nightwing 114, Superman 14, Titans 11 and Wonder Woman 9 and Alan Scott Green Lantern 6! 00:59:21 Penguin's family is trying to kill each other, Green Arrow's family is reunited, and the biggest villains of The Flash mythos might be getting a reboot! Reactions to The Penguin 10, The Flash 9 & Green Arrow 12!
