Batman #43

/ / Comics

Batman #43 comic review“Everyone Loves Ivy” concludes as Catwoman spends time with the woman who has taken the world, providing just enough distraction for Batman to put his plan into action and release the one person from Ivy‘s control who may be able to talk the super-villain out of remaking the world in her image.

Heading into the Batman/Catwoman wedding, Batman #43 offers us all three of the Gotham Sirens at something of a crossroads. Harley Quinn has taken more of an anti/quasi-hero role in recent years and this issues suggests something may be possible for Ivy as well.

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

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.
