Comments: Murcielaga looks beautiful yet intimidating in a lovely pin-up style page.
We learn a lot about Murcielaga here. When she needed help someone was there for her. She and her friend years before had planned to form a gang to fight injustice. Barrio Girls, when mistreated, would have them to seek revenge and justice. Carmilla her friend also has a power and she uses it. Carmilla goes farther than Murcielaga would. How far we will find out next issue.
Murcielaga is a street super-hero in the tradition of Batman.
“The Black” is written by Vanessa-Leigh Kirby, artist David Mack, letterer Vickie Williams and colorist Daerick Gross. The Black Enchantress meets another magic user in Ethereal Black. They could have gotten into a huge battle of magic but both kept their senses. The story is well illustrated and Ethereal Black is drawn gorgeous in her magic form.
