Vampironica #1

/ / Comics

Vampironica #1 comic reviewHave you ever wanted Archie comics to be more like Buffy the Vampire Slayer? If so, I give your Vampironica #1. The new ongoing series centers around rich girl Veronica Lodge who gets bitten by a vampire and becomes a creature of the night. Despite her hunger for blood, it appears Veronica’s main purpose is to protect her friends from the vampire who turned her and the other vampires looking to feed in Riverdale.

Vampironica #1 is mostly set-up. It’s likely you either predisposed to buy into the premise of Archie Andrews‘ on-again off-again spoiled rich-bitch girlfriend as a kick-ass vampire or you are going to ignore the comic altogether. Issue #1 was, as expected, exactly as advertised. I’m sure we’ll get more of Veronica’s adjustment to her new normal, but here we get her rebirth as a daughter of the night and taking down a couple of vamps at a late-night party.

Supergirl #19

/ / Comics

Supergirl #19 comic reviewSupergirl #19 works around some of the issues I’ve had with the series (the DEO being an ominous entity out to stop Supergirl, Catco being anti-Supergirl, and Kara stuck in high school) by centering the storyline not on Supergirl but by someone she saves. Framed through a Catco interview Lee Serano explains to Ben Rubel what Supergirl means to Lee beyond just saving the non-binary character’s life.

Despite all her powers, Supergirl’s greatest asset is her humanity. This is something The CW was quick to recognize and incorporate into their version of the character but various comics haven’t always fully embraced. It certainly does here as Kara connects and offers ongoing support in the form of friend or big sister.

The Wild Storm #12

The Wild Storm #12 comic review

Break-ins are the common theme of both storylines in The Wild Storm #12. As Jacklyn King begins I.O.‘s hack into Skywatch, Grifter and his team for an evacuation of an I.O. facility to steal data, crash their system (part of the plan), and leave lots of dead bodies (not so much part of the plan). The one thing that’s clear after the dust settled is everyone is more on edge than they were before and the war Jennifer Mei Sparks saw brewing between Skywatch and IO may have just begun. I hope you are gathering your team Sparks, it appears the world is going to need them sooner than later. Worth a look.

[DC, $3.99]
