Supergirl #1 Delivers a Charming Throwback Debut

Posted on by
Supergirl #1

Kara Zor-El has been a key member of the Super-Family in Metropolis, but what happens when she strikes out on her own? Follow Kara as she returns to her roots in Midvale…home of Supergirl! But how could this be?! Our hero has not been back in years, and the protector of that town has been saving the day for weeks. Can Supergirl stop the impostor before they steal her fresh start and life? Supergirl #1 is an intriguing debut that while it starts with some action, it shifts to a story and tone that’s more of a classic vibe of comics from yesteryear.

With story and art by Sophie Campbell, Supergirl #1 is a charming start. It’s cute and fun with a whimsy about it that feels more like Archie than it does the rest of DC’s superhero line. Campbell dives right in giving the Cliff’s Notes towards the beginning for readers who might not know much about Supergirl. You get the basics and there’s a bit more for those who have been keeping up with the Super-family and its various comics. From an initial fight to the Fortress of Solitude and a quick trip to the City of Kandor the story eventually settles on a visit to her parents and an impostor that has arrived.

Campbell’s story feels a bit like the comics from the 50s and 60s where character body swapped or people lost their memories. It feels like a low stakes start that’s more fun and a smile and a wink and a nod than world level threats. There’s teases and hints as to what’s going on but overall, there’s something rather quaint about it all.

Campbell’s art is good. With color by Tamra Bonvillain and lettering by Becca Carey, the comic is bright and cheery featuring an artistic style that matches its story. The kids from Riverdale could show up and the art would completely work which should give you an idea of the tone of the comic in both story and look.

Supergirl #1 is a fun comic to read. There’s a retro charm about it that’s a throwback to the days of goofy stories and wild ideas. But, as a debut, the issue doesn’t make me need to come back. It feels like a casual read instead of a need to find out what happens next. That’s not a bad thing overall and there’s an audience that’ll love the classic feel of it all but for a start. It’s entertaining, the type of comic to relax and read and enjoy during a nice sunny day.

Chip Zdarsky and Rachael Stott launch an automaton amour amidst rising tensions between America and Canada in White House Robot Romance

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced White House Robot Romance from Eisner-winning writer Chip Zdarsky and acclaimed artist Rachael Stott. Colored by Tamra Bonvillain and lettered by Ariana Maher, this disarming sci-fi romance follows two kitchen-bound robots who, just as they begin to transcend their programming, become ensnared in a political crisis that threatens to drag America and Canada into war.

When Chef-9 learns that Service-1 is scheduled for immediate decommissioning, he makes an unprecedented choice: abandon his station, break protocol, and flee with Service-1 into the streets of Washington, D.C. But what starts as a desperate act of defiance quickly spirals into an international crisis. Service-1’s memory banks hold highly classified state secrets—ones that could tilt the balance of power between America and Canada. As paranoia mounts and the military mobilizes, the runaway robots find themselves hunted by government agents and targeted by corporate spies.

White House Robot Romance #1 features covers by Rachael Stott, Jill Thompson, Elsa Charretier, and Bengal.

Justice League Unlimited #2 keeps the team dynamic while focusing on J’onn J’onzz

Justice League Unlimited #2

As the Justice League grapples with the ramifications of the Atom Project, a strange alert brings the team to the jungles of South America…and a horrific discovery. Can the elite Justice League strike force save a village from total slaughter? Plus…the mystery of the Darkseid heir deepens, and dissension in the ranks forces Batman’s hand. Justice League Unlimited #2 is an excellent second issue that seeds a lot more to come.

Written by Mark Waid, Justice League Unlimited #2 is another excellent issue to this new direction for the Justice League. The team heads out to South America where kids are being abducted by Parademons! But, something is a bit different about it all and the Justice League needs to figure out more of what’s going on.

Waid has done a fantastic job of not just keeping the comic focused on the team dynamic but also giving us a story that narrows things down to a few characters as well. It balances the big picture meta story and a story you can just pick up and enjoy.

There’s some big things going on in the DC Universe. Darkseid dying has caused a lot of issues like what’s going on with the Parademons but also powers have been switched up a bit. The comic does a solid job of giving all of that and teasing things to come elsewhere. It’s just a hell of a lot of fun with a problem that only the Justice League can solve but also not feeling like it’s some world ending threat.

The art by Dan Mora continues to be great. Tamra Bonvillains color makes the art pop while Ariana Maher‘s lettering delivers solid emotion and excitement. The visuals are great with lots of action and small details, like a busted up Batman, that help tell the story. The Parademons look great and there’s a slight hint at horror with the story still sticking to its hero roots.

Justice League Unlimited #2 is a great second issue that delivers more of the team positive vibe that the creators are going for. Even with threats, the comic has a great feel to it that feels exciting and entertaining. It’s a great team book that knows what it is and delivers.
