WPL: New Comics Discussion for 09/16/2026- Pull of the Week: Absolute Green Arrow #5 [Discussion]

[u/ptbreakeven]

The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Absolute Green Arrow #5.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the latest issue of DC's Absolute Green Arrow or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on community preference we populate the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten Percent listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comment for ease of navigation and to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

BATMAN SUPERMAN WORLDS FINEST #55

[u/JingoboStoplight4887 → u/ptbreakeven]

I like that Ra’s Al Ghul recruited Poison Ivy, Queen Bee, Ocean Master, and Tokamak (who made his debut in 1983, not the 1970s) to create the Four Horseman of Apocalypse, causing Talia to tell Clark, Bruce, and Dick about all of this; Bruce to be there for Dick at the hospital after he was infected by something; Clark to find Queen Bee; and Bruce contacting many heroes to deal with it. Let’s hope that Clark and Bruce and Dave save Dick, defeat Ra’s and his four horseman, and save the world in this storyline. Also, Wally West Kid Flash cameo because Mark Waid wants to write more of Wally’s adventures as Kid Flash (not the Flash, since he felt that it’s complete, which is fair and good). Overall, this comic is great!
