Reviews

“What if I wanna be more than one thing? They’re just jealous because they’re not having as much fun as I am. Some peoples only pleasure in life is saying, I told you, so because they’re only happy, making other people miserable.”

“ Daddy always told me there would be days like these. When all the luck in the world, can’t save you from yourself.”


“But you know what? Since I got myself into this mess, I can’t even be mad about it because being mad at yourself isn’t good for you. So I’m going to get myself a little treat. And tomorrow… Tomorrow is another day and I’m alive right now right now. In the greatest city in the world. It’s not all bad, not by a longshot.”

Really loving this story by G. Willow Wilson. Her work on Poison Ivy is amazing and now with BC she is hitting it out of the park again. Originally salted to only 5 issues, the series is now "ongoing." Really looking forward to what shenanigans Felicia will get up to next.

Kinda feels like we’re going in circles, but you know, it was fine. Also some of these front covers are so demeaning.

[Riccardo Papaluca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Felicia Hardy on the right side of the law, yea someone is going to take advantage of that and this issue that is what happens.

[Sam Ramirez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great end to the first arc! I’ll definitely continue reading this one.

[Paxton Holley · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars.

Finishes out the Tombstone arc. This is pretty good. I’m liking it.
