Review DC Superhero Girls Wonder Woman Day Special Last Saturday was Wonder Woman Day at local comic stores, a brilliant addition by DC to last months Free Comic Book Day. The FCBD DC books were Wonder Woman and DC Super Hero Girls. But given the buzz of the Wonder Woman movie, I love that DC gave us another day of free stuff. And I love that they doubled down on Diana. If DC knew that they were doing a Wonder Woman day with a free Wonder Woman comic and a free DCSHG book, they could have looked elsewhere for FCBD. Instead, we get 4 Wonder Woman focused freebies. And that makes me happy! DC SuperHero Girls Wonder Woman Day #1 is just the second chapter of the upcoming Summer Olympus graphic novel which is being released around the corner. The creators are writer Shea Fontana and artist Yancey Labat, the two most linked to the Superhero Girls. I do love this cover though, something of a badass Diana with Kara and Babs ready to throw down right behind her. This is the fiercest I have se...

DC Superhero Girls Batnapped The first two seasons of the DC Superhero Girls video shorts seemed intent on introducing us to the characters and giving us an overall sense of this particular incarnation of the characters. I enjoyed this new universe for what it was, a fun look at the foibles of being a super-heroic high schooler. But with success and a following behind them, as well a couple of feature-length films and graphic novels behind them, it was time to take a step forward. The trailer for the third season makes it seem more like a long form story told in chapters as opposed to humorous one-offs. There are sentient Kryptonite chunks playing with the emotions of humanity. There is a Female Fury invasion. And what looks to be plenty of battles. The trailer really had a sort of Super Friends vibe to it. A last week, the first episode of the season dropped. Batnapped was a nice transition. We definitely get great fun with Batgirl, Supergirl, and Killer Moth!! And we get the seeds of...

DC Superhero Girls Lego Videos I knew that DC Superhero Girls had become a Lego property. And any sort of cross-pollination of these characters into different arenas is appreciated. Heck, think of how much the Lego Batman video games and movies have done to bring DC characters into peoples homes. What I didnt know was that there are Lego DC Superhero Girls videos being produced and available on YouTube. There are a few to watch, most including Supergirl, and they all are a ton of fun. I thought Id review one called Trading Places, which showcases Supergirl and is a good introduction to the style of the videos. Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM2OECIfIwQ  I know I am not the target audience but they are fun. If you enjoy DCSHG or the Lego movies, you probably will get a kick out of these. As in the main DCSHG cartoon, Lena Luthor is the main villain. Here she is deliciously over the top in her use of the standard criminal posturing and use of monologue. I love that K...

DC Superhero Girls Tales From The Krypto Mites Part 1 DC Superhero Girls has entered its third season of shorts on their website. As I noted in past posts, it seems this season will be something more of an ongoing show with running plots as opposed to silly one and done episodes. And we didnt have to wait long for this to be apparent. The third episode of the season is called Tales from the Kryptomites, Part1. The very fact that it says part one shows the website is thinking more long form while not heading more into feature length DVD films. I also love that Supergirl seems to be a central part of this arc. The main bad is Lena Luthor (or perhaps here Lena Thorul)! And clearly that history of being a Luthor is part of the plot. I also like some nods to the past within the episode (although I admit that I might be reaching here. And we end on a nice cliffhanger, making me want to come back. Go ahead and can watch the episode here. In the meantime, here are my thoughts. The issue starts...
