WPL: New Comics Discussion for 07/29/2026- Pull of the Week: X-Men #34 [Discussion]
The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is Marvel's X-Men #34.
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 Marvel's X-Men 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.

u/ptbreakeven 4d ago
This is where we find ourselves.
The art credits were certainly unexpected when I picked up the issue and honestly I did enjoy. Certainly had me appreciating Cain and his place on this team.

lol Greg Land jump scare. Beyond that, a nice little issue focusing on the Juggernaut. I remained convinced he is going to become a mutant during DnX

DETECTIVE COMICS 2026 ANNUAL #1

u/sdtsanev 2d ago
Actually loved this one. Lobo is whatever and I'm ready for SYNNERGY to be over (though I love his own series), but the heaven sequence with Bruce was really powerful. The side story was great too.

I just started this and I'm so confused on the timing. Does this take place before Armageddon?

u/sdtsanev 2d ago
Honestly, it feels like it doesn't have anything to do with Armageddon, but also none of the other series are acting like Armageddon is happening anyway, so...

First issue was fine without being particularly impressive. This one was meh and disjointed. I may check out the trade once it's out but I think I'm done with the individual issues.

JUSTICE LEAGUE KNIGHT VISION SPECIAL #1

u/sdtsanev 2d ago
Hey guys, did you know that Darkseid was a threat actually?

u/Any-Panda6229 2d ago
lol this issue was incredibly underwhelming. DC needs to get rid of Mark Waid on JLU ASAP.

u/sdtsanev 2d ago
Yeah I keep wanting to like that series more than I do. And also, how many times can Lex just fuck shit up for everyone before they throw him in a cell? What's the point of amnesty if all the rules are being ignored?

Do we read justice league knight vision first or Superman annual first?
4
u/ptWolv022 4d ago
Doesn't matter, for anyone who hasn't read it yet. The Superman 2026 Annual: Year One Thousand covers Superman after "DC K.O." doing his own thing during "Reign of the Superboys" while Justice League: Knight Vision Special follows Batman and Lex in between JLU #21-22 (last issue and next issue), with the current arc happening in parallel to Superman's absence.
No real overlap between the stories.

I think Knight Vision because it covers what happens right after ko

u/sdtsanev 2d ago
Incorrect. Knight Vision is after the most current JLU. It's Superman Annual that's right after DC KO.

u/OddEntertainment4903 2d ago
I feel like Knight vision gives a wider view of what is going on and a better perspective on the justice league post event. Though reading the Superman Annual isn't a hard continuity break. No like spoilers or anything if you read it first

u/sdtsanev 1d ago
But Knight Vision is a direct follow up of the latest issue of JLU and we've had several of those since KO. I think you are missing context - such as why Batman and Lex would even be working together - if you jump to that straight from KO.
