Fantastic Universes

“Blow Out” Writer: Mairghread Scott Artists: Elena Casagrande and Scott Godlewski Color Artist: John Kalisz Letterer: Andworld Design  Review by Fay Clark After wrapping up the arc in  Batgirl #32 , no one knew what was in store next for Batgirl. I don’t know about anybody else, but I was super excited to see more… I was definitely not disappointed. In this thrilling new issue we jump right into the drama. Will Batgirl be able to keep her cool with her brother back out on the streets? Or will everything she has worked for coming tumbling down around her? You will definitely want to check out the latest addition in this great run of  Batgirl . Hiding behind the mask, Batgirl? Well, the family drama is coming out in force.

"Archie Meets Batman '66" Writers: Jeff Parker & Michael Moreci Artists: Dan Parent & J. Bone Colour Artist: Kelly Fitzpatrick Letterer: Jack Morelli Direct Market Cover Artist: Michael Allred Review by John Hammond  When I was offered the opportunity to write about this comic for Fantastic Universes, it was one I could not say no to. I will admit firstly that I have never read an Archie comic before and, as such, have no knowledge of the character or the world of Riverdale. Batman '66 however is a completely different story. The series was, no... is , something that I have always loved. It has such charm, it's colourful and it is a whole lotta fun.
