SUMMARY:
Published by DC Comics for October 2017 to celebrate ‘Batman Day,’ this 32-page one-shot is an extended peek at the DC Super Hero Girls: Out of the Bottle graphic novel. Assigned by their art teacher, June (The Enchantress) Moone, to each create their own comic book, high school classmates Katana and Supergirl share their completed stories with Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman. While a frustrated Wonder Woman struggles with her project, Harley Quinn opts to ‘borrow’ Ms. Moone’s magical paints to rework her own comic book.
REVIEW:
For what it is, this promo comic offers a harmless storyline and bright watercolor-style artwork. Its effort to plug the Out of the Bottle graphic novel is solid enough, as fans ages 8-and-under should get a kick out of it.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
There are full-page promos for DC Super Hero Girls graphic novels: Out of the Bottle; Summer Olympus; & Hits and Myths. Also, full-page profiles on Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Katana are provided. The last page is a tardy Harley Quinn’s maze puzzle entitled “Monkeying Around,” as readers help her find a shortcut to gym class.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
