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.

    Something that annoys me about this book is that...wasn't it supposed to be about the Justice League admitting every hero in the DCU?

    Yet the current arc features no hero from the DC Universe and it's a bunch of time-travelling/Multiverse non-sense. Couldn't you have used, dunno, Ice, Hawkgirl and Dr. Fate?

    And the next arc seems to be about villains joining the JLU. You have the entire DCU at your disposal and yet the arcs are focused on people who shouldn't be on the JL?

    Enter the lost world of the Warlord, in this omnibus collection of legendary writer and artist Mike Grell’s revered sword-and-sorcery epic!

    In 1975, DC made one of its most notable expansions beyond the world of superheroes with the introduction of the Warlord—a new fantasy hero created by writer and artist Mike Grell, later distinguished for his character-redefining work Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters.

    Lt. Colonel Travis Morgan of the United States Air Force is attacked while on a reconnaissance mission over Russia. Fleeing toward the arctic circle, he is forced to abandon his dying aircraft over the Yukon—and parachutes through a swirling mist into the strange and unrecognizable land of Skartaris!

    In Warlord by Mike Grell Omnibus Vol. 1, readers can journey to Skartaris and read the very first appearance of Grell’s famous creation, along with the first 50 issues of the Warlord series, which stands as one of the most influential comics runs of its era.

    Collects 1st Issue Special #8, Warlord #1-50, and Amazing World of DC Comics #12.
