Gotham City Sirens 2

:)

Anyone interested in the "female trinity" should own this book. Great backstory and storyline. A must have for any catwoman, ivy or Quinn fan. 100% great finish to the story arc

I really thought the quality of the series might take a serious drop in the 2nd volume, but I was pleasantly surprised that I mostly liked it as much as Vol. 1. I suspect those who prefer Vol. 1 prefer its mostly lighter and more playful tone. With more different story arcs. This 2nd volume really has just 3:- 14 & 15: 2 issues about Poison Ivy and an alien plant being trying to colonize Earth.- 16-17-18-part of 19: 3+ issues about Talia Al Ghul trying to manipulate the Sirens and Zatanna in regard to Catwoman's knowledge of Batman's identity.- part of 19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26: 7+ issues about Harley Quinn going from wanting to kill the Joker to reuniting with him at Arkham with a riot that brings Batman into the picture.The STRONGEST part of this volume is the continuity of the participants.One, Andres Guinaldo does the art in issues 14-15-16-17-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26. Jeremy Haun does issue 18. Art here above average but not up to even Andres' work, let alone Guillem's. Andres did issues 10-11 and part of 13 in volume 1. I think Guinaldo's art is quite good, if just not quite at the level of Guillem March in volume 1.Two, Peter Calloway is the writer for issues 16-26. With Tony Bedard continuing from issues 12-13 of volume 1 to do issues 14-15. So only 2 writers and both in continuity.Third, Calloway closes out with a long connected story arc from issues 19-20-21 and 23-24-25-26. (That horrible 22 interrupting.)A final strength is the resolution. The Sirens realize they can't work together and have to go their separate ways. SPOILER: No happy ending. Just anger and recrimination. Which seems realistic. And appropriate, esp. for how Harley and Poison Ivy acted in this volume. AND Calloway provides a direct tie between issue 1 and 26, as to WHY did they come together in the first place. It was not by accident. There was a purpose. That makes sense.The WORST issue is #22, which is part of the then larger story arc, Judgment on Gotham (Pt. 3), Family Matters. Sister Zero, Selina's sister, returns from Vol. 1's Catwoman 83 issue. The issue presented her makes little sense since it is just one part of a much larger story cutting across other titles. So we just jump into the deep end and have NO CLUE as to what is going on with Azrael, Crusader, or Michael Lane. Instead of just having the last panel say, "For the full story see Batman: Gotham Shall Be Judged", why not include a couple paragraphs of text that at least sets up this issue's material? (I tired to do some research on that arc, but to be honest it seemed silly and stupid, too supernatural and religious to be that interesting to me.)

Yes. Much good read. Supes fantastical

The first volume was better. This one wasn't "bad" and it even had some really great "oh wow" moments for plot and art. But it felt a little inconsistent and suffered some in comparison to Gotham City Sirens One, which had stronger cohesive storytelling. I felt there were loose ends and plot holes in several places, but I know that's at least partly because I've not read some related comic volumes that would fill in some of the blanks, so: forgivable. I do love these characters and overall it was a fun and entertaining read. Bottom line is, if there were more to the series, I'd keep reading.

No much of a comic fan but I couldn't put it down once I started! I look foward to book 3

Can't wait for the film, great way to get caught up and worth the price

Awesome!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ovviamente è arrivato tutto bombato come al solito.La storia di per se è molto migliore rispetto al primo capitolo, bellissimi disegni come sempre.

My favourite trio in the DC universe! Lovely cover art and the storyline is just amazing. It arrived safely and well packaged

I definitely prefer this second volume to the first. A good read for fans of Catwoman, Harley Quinn or Poison Ivy. Arrived on time and came in great condition.

A good continuation of volume 1, with arguably better plot, but with inferior art to that of Guillem March which graced most of the first volume.
