DC Comics continues The Joker War in Batman 96. Part two of the story comes across as an odd mix of the really cool and the absolutely mundane. Overall this second part delivers very little in terms of action or character advancement. It feels like 23 pages of exposition. We are told many things,

This week DC Comics released Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy number 1. This will be a six-issue mini-series that takes place after the events of Heroes in Crisis. The relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy has grown strong in the DC universe. And in this comic it is no different as we watch
I sit here having just finished reading Harley Quinn 64 and to be honest I'm at a total loss for words. We knew where this was headed, but still... One minute I am crying tears of laughter with my sides splitting. The next minute I am totally gut punched. You know what's coming but to shift gears

Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia shows us the power of wisdom, for good and for evil, in the titular Ep. 10 "Wisdom". With Boraqchin showing Sitara / Fatima that she's both very crafty and utterly ruthless in her pursuit of her goals. However, for all that she is wise, she is by no means omniscient.
