New comics!
Iron Cat 2
Some great backstory setting up Tamara, Felicia’s former partner in crime and love. Black Cat continues to be Jed MacKay’s muse. He definitely does his best work with her.
Variants 2
Sigh, more Purple Man stuff. Gail Simone, there really wasn’t enough story with the variant Jessica Joneses alone to fill five issues? Give me more of that!
Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass
As with all of these DC YA graphic novels, this offering from Mariko Tamaki and Steve Pugh is a nice reinterpretation of an established character. This Harley isn’t evil, or even insane. Her motivations are easy to empathize with, and if her actions lean towards the criminal, it’s hard to really find too much fault with her decisions.
Tamaki backs Harley up with a great supporting cast, between an adopted family of drag queens and an activist (not poison) Ivy.
The thing is, though, I don’t see myself pulling this off the shelf just because I want to read it again. It doesn’t quite hit that level. (Maybe I need to re-evaluate my “Would buy again” definition.)
Regret buying: No
Would buy again: Yes
Would read again: Yes
Rating: Nice
