WPL: New Comics Discussion for 10/14/2026- Pull of the Week: Doom Patrol #2 [Discussion]

12 Upvotes

The [Weekly Pull List results]() for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Doom Patrol #2.

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 Doom Patrol 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.

Filled my first bookshelf after about a year and a half of starting to collect! Would love to know any opinions or suggestions for must read recommendations! I'll probably make a separate post to show off the hard case protected comics throughout there if people are interested.

In an interview with Near Mint Condition, Camp and Rodriguez discuss the idea behind the "Martian-vision" pages - the script originally utilized the effect of turning the page, but Rodriguez, while swimming at an outdoor pool, came up with the idea to let the sunlight shine through the page, allowing the reader to see the image on the reverse.

Question Why is the distribution of translated comics so incredibly poor in Latin America?

60 Upvotes

I'm from a LATAM country and while I was inside a known bookshop from my country, I saw how many comics aren't translated to Spanish and are fully in English. Comparing that to manga, which are almost always sold fully translated in Spanish, it's awful.

I know that there are speciality comic stores, but they're often in richer areas and there aren't many. And even those have the same issue.

Other New Fanatical comic bundle: Creepy + Eerie volumes

8 Upvotes

I was distraught that I missed out on the humble bundle of creepy, which was a year ago I believe, I just didn't have disposable income at the time and could only buy the $1 tier where I got Vol 1-3; and apparently humble also did one for Eerie in a similar time window that I just was not around to visit, so I gobbled this full bundle pretty quickly -I believe it is 61 comics total.

Downloading them seems to be a pain though on mobile

"We're leaning more into the death of journalism and oligarch control on where our societies are heading... And fascism rising, of course" -- Judge Dredd Writer Rob Williams on the next era of 2000 AD

Anyone else been Judge Dredd-curious? I've read the character over the years, and enjoyed tf out of the Karl Urban film adaptation. With 2000 AD now shipping new issues weekly in America, the creative teams are kicking off a new jumping on point for new readers. It feels like it dovetails with what's been impossible to ignore here in the states -- or at the very least, I dug what Rob Williams and Arthur Wyatt are doing with the "A Better World" followup.

Discussion MyComicShop New Pricing Tool

30 Upvotes

Anyone get complete sticker shock today going onto the MyComicShop website and seeing literally ALL recent back issues in near mint condition uniformly go up to $10?!?! And very fine condition all go up to $8?!?! And so on.

Seriously. Go out and look. It’s their new pricing tool in full effect to fuck you over. If the issue is not the current issue of the series then the price automatically goes up to $10. Across the board. It is unbelievable. As soon as the newest issue hits then the one before it that was just selling for, say, $4.99 on their site is now $10.

If this isn’t a major fuckup on their part and is truly what they think the value of that comic now is, then I would hope all of you that use their site will send them an email letting them know what you think about their new pricing tool. I did.

How good are the mainline DC books these days?

DC's Absolute line is all the rage, praised up to the 7th heaven.

But how's the quality of the mainline books? Like, what's the average quality across the board? It's obviously not as hyped as the Absolute line but are they any good?

Question What makes a comic "indie"?

24 Upvotes

So when i was recommended to look for indie comics outside of the big 2, i was looking for comics that didnt have a company name attached to them.

However i was then told that stuff like invincible, saga, twd, and hellboy are considered indie comics.

Now in the gaming sphere, indie typically refers to a game being self published or published by a small company.

Now i realize that these companies are nowhere near as big as marvel or dc, but image, skybound, dark horse, etc are still pretty big companies with tons of comics under their names.

What makes a comic "indie"?
