Greetings, citizens of the DC Universe!
It’s Monday, and you know what that means- too much coffee, one eye half-closed, our inner children protesting loudly- and a break from it all with scintillating discussion questions! It’s been very fun and deeply interesting to read all of your thoughts and responses so far, and we can’t wait to take it even further.
We’ve updated the top of this post to keep all questions for the series in one place, but you can also read this week’s discussion questions here in this handy comment:
Issue #4-5
2021-03-22T07:00:00Z → 2021-03-29T07:00:00Z
- The Source Wall, The Totality, Umbrax, The Keep of Mars, the Still Force, the First Force, Turtle, the Ultraviolent/Invisible Spectrum- how do you keep them straight? What is your understanding of their interplay?
- Can you name all the Green Lanterns in this beautiful shot?
-
How did having a different writer (James Tynion IV) and artist (Doug Mahnke) on the Legion of Doom issue impact the overall reading of the story so far? Did the change in tone complement the experience?
-
As noted in issue #5: "If he could, [Lex Luthor] would ask you the question he asked the rest. ‘A legion that did not stand for people as they should be, but as they were, and would always be.’." Do you agree that people’s nature is fundamentally chaotic and doom-driven, as Luthor suggests?
-
In the back pages of issue #5, we see Scott Snyder outline each villain’s core beliefs. A throughline of these beliefs is that everyone should be “true” to themselves. Do you agree with any of these villains’ philosophies? Why or why not?
As we get deeper into the story, so too do we explore the psyches of our heroes and villains. If you’re interested in that sort of thing, then you may enjoy the Psychology of Supervillains Club, where a villain is selected each month to dive into motivations and influences. Past discussions include Lex Luthor, Sinestro, and Vandal Savage.
And of course, if Justice League is your thang, then the Justice League Club is where you’ll want to be to discover the “best of” stories from the JL’s history and present, all year long!
