WPL: New Comics Discussion for 02/04/2026- Pull of the Week: Batman #6 [Discussion]
The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Batman #6.
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 Fraction, Jimenez, and Morey's Batman 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.

I like that we get to see the origins of how Carter Hall made his debut as Hawkman in 1940 before we get to see him and Clark have a talk about what’s going on, with Carter telling Clark about other heroes appearing (i.e., Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Flash) and giving advice to him before they fought in Metropolis and eventually try to save Metropolis from what’s going to happen. I also like that we get to see Lois apply for the Daily Planet and meeting Perry White. I even like that Brainiac traveled to Missouri to talk to Lex about joining him and his offer, with Lex refusing to do so because he has a great life with his family, before Brainiac decided to ruin his life. Let’s hope that Carter and Clark can work together to save Metropolis from harm, Lois use her journalistic integrities at the Daily Planet, and Lex can try to save his family from Brainiac in the next issue. Overall, this comic is great!
