Separuh jalan membaca buku dan saya macam kenal nama pencipta komiknya: Bomb Queen. Walau bagaimanapun, tema buku ini sangat ringan dan menyasarkan pembaca muda. Saya terhibur dengan gayanya seperti cerita era 60 an, yang mana penjahatnya tidaklah begitu kejam dan kemenangan selalunya milik protagonis.

This is almost unique among superhero comics. It's about girl superheroes, and it's actually about being a superhero, NOT about who likes who and interpersonal drama. Evelyn and Malinda's dad is a supervillian, but he's kind of old school about it. Lots of mwahaha, no one gets hurt. When a new group of supervillains shows up with a darker take on evil, the girls decide it's up to them to save their dad. As superheroes called Evil and Malice. Their new secret life also leads to some unexpected discoveries about their past.

Interestingly, the cover for Evil and Malice depicts a belly-revealing costume that the gal in blue does NOT wear in the book. She wears a knee-length dress normally. Jimmie Robinson also creates the VERY for adults Bomb Queen, but he has a very firm grip on "this kind of art for this project, that kind of art for that project" so I'll always be curious about why that image ended up on the cover.

There were some real cringe-worthy moments in this...kind of like being a teenager, I guess. Haha. Interesting premise, though.
