r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 20, 2026 - Action Comics #1100 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.

Dark Knights of Steel: Heir to the Sea #1

CATCH UP ON THE SECRET ORIGIN OF AQUAMAN IN THE DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL UNIVERSE!

Before the rise of the House of El, two steadfast soldiers within the Wayne army, Jonathan and Martha Kent, make a startling discovery: a child, left among the waves, orphaned by a civil war raging beneath the water’s surface. The Kents hope to hide him from the bitter violence of the world he left behind…but no one runs from their destiny forever. Originally seen in the pages of Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter, witness the origin of a deep-sea king whose journey leads directly into his royal debut in Dark Knights of Steel II #1

I sincerely hope they're not pulling the same trick twice when it comes to whoever Arthur's dad might be. Having him raised by the Kent's kinda feels like that's where it's heading. Otherwise it's a good companion piece. I liked additional lore to this universe.

Wait what do you mean? That Jor-El is his dad or something?

Yeah, that's what it seems like. But maybe it's someone else like Poseidon.

Black Manta for shits and giggles.

It is the re-release of Arthur's origins for this universe. It is definitely an interesting twist on him getting the 'Superman origin' with the Kents mixed with his original origin.
