Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour #2The second issue of Harley Quinn: The Animated Series – The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour features Harley and Ivy together one-step ahead of the obsessed Gordon which leads the pair to Catwoman (a character with plenty of space to grow given her short appearance on the show). Ivy’s internal conflict at the happiness she feels for giving into her love for Harley and the utter panic when she is reminded just how truly crazy Harley is continues to be the main focus of the story.

We do get an appearance from Batman, and some confirmation about Selena’s romantic history with the hero in this universe, but he remains a tertiary figure to the larger events playing out in Gotham City (which has been abandoned by the United States).Fans of Batman: The Animated Series will get a kick out of the hyenas’ role in the story here (as well as Harley’s obliviousness why Catwoman wouldn’t be the best babysitter for them).

Stargirl - Summer School: Chapter Seven

The week after the defeat of Cindy‘s (Meg DeLacy) short-lived Injustice Society sequel, and Eclipso‘s escape from the Black Diamond, Stargirl turns its attention back to the growing unrest of Yolanda (Yvette Monreal) whose guilt over Brainwave‘s death has gotten steadily worse since Eclipso’s arrival in Blue Valley. Although we don’t get the larger version of the character seen in the last episode, we are offered the return of the creepy kid version of the villain (Milo Stein) lurking and toying with his prey. The episode is written in such a way it’s hard to separate what events were caused by Yolanda’s own guilt, Eclipso’s influence, or (as we see in her hallucinations) some leftover mental parasite of Brainwave.

Green Lantern #6

Green Lantern #6Green Lantern #6 is notable mostly for the first meeting between Sojourner Mullein  and Sinestro on New Korugar while Simon Baz looks to calm down the out of control of the rampaging Teen Lantern (mostly off-panel, which turns out to be just as disappointing as it sounds).

The issue doesn’t offer much in the way of action, but the first meeting between Sojourner and Sinestro is pretty good stuff with each feeling each other out and get an understanding where the other stands in a universe with the Green Lantern Corps in shambles.

In the B-story that won’t die, the comic also catches back up with John Stewart, the refugees he rescued from the void, and the rest of the former Lanterns heading off to save Kilowog from some Gold Centurions (whatever those are).
