Comic & Manga Reviews
Yes! Poison Ivy is back in Gotham, and back with Harley! You love to see it. I know that Poison Ivy will probably continue to leave Gotham here and there, but it’s good to see her coming back home, even for a bit. I’m also ticked that Killer Croc has been thrown into the mix, as he balances this unique group quite well.
Poison Ivy may not be on a quest to destroy all of humanity (for the moment), but that doesn’t mean she’s found her place in the world. She knows there’s more she needs to be doing, but finding the balance is the trick.
Guys, do not sleep on reading Poison Ivy by G. Willow Wilson. This series is everything, and I cannot overstate that fact. If you’re a Poison Ivy fan, this series is pure perfection, breaking down the character and building her back up from the roots.
Before I dive into my review, I just want to say that I had previously read through most of the Hugo Strange arc when the comics were first released. So most of Harley Quinn Vol. 2 isn’t new to me, and honestly, I’m tired of the Hugo arc.
Whew. I won't lie: Captain Marvel Vol. 10 is an intense read. In truth, the entire Revenge of the Brood arc has been one heavy-hitting moment to the next. Kelly Thompson has always been good about that – creating an emotional arc that ties back to Carol's past.
Captain Marvel Vol. 9 contains a single-issue plot and the beginning of a new plot arc; Revenge of the Brood.
Despite their best efforts, Binary is still very much trapped by The Brood. Carol Danvers, Jessica Drew, Jennifer Takeda, and several X-Men are on a quest to save her – and Rogue. However, The Brood are putting up more resistance than expected, causing Jennifer Takeda, aka Hazmat, to take extreme measures.
Onward with the Revenge of the Brood in Captain Marvel #45. Though, is anyone else wondering what precisely they're getting revenge on? After all, they're supposedly in a moment of peace. Granted, we all knew that wasn't going to last.
The Revenge of the Brood (part two) continues in Captain Marvel #44. This arc is killing it, if I may say so. I know, I know – I'm biased. But I'm happy to see so many of my favorite characters together (Spider-Woman, Hazmat, Psylocke, Polaris, Gambit, must I go on?).
Annnnd we're off! By that, I mean it's time to dive into a new plot arc in Captain Marvel #43. As the title suggests (Revenge of the Brood), this is likely to be an intense arc, and I cannot wait to see how it plays out.
