YMMV / Wednesday Comics

Go To

  • Broken Base: The Wonder Woman series seemed to be perfectly divided into people who found it an amazing example of what the format was capable of, and the people who found it ambitious but completely unreadable, for exactly the same reasons.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The villain of Strange Adventures is named Korgo. That name might have sounded intimidating back in 2009, but it's much harder to take seriously thanks to the DoggoLingo memes starting in 2016, which use "corgo" as the word for corgis.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Plenty of people took this view on the Hawkman series, stating that it managed to jettison the stuff that makes so many Hawkman comics unreadable (complicated mythology, Hawkman's powers being unimpressive, Hawkman's personality leaning towards Jerkass) in favor of just writing a cool action story that played to Hawkman's strengths and imagery.
  • Spiritual Successor: The Supergirl strip is a strange example, as Palmiotti and Conner were also simultaneously doing Power Girl, Supergirl's Earth-2 version.
  • Tear Jerker: The very somber ending of the Metal Men strip, specifically by the exchange that Doc Magnus and Mercury have while musing on the "deaths" of the rest of the Metal Men in stopping Chemo's meltdown.
    Mercury: How can you improve on perfection?
