It’s been a big year for superhero comics, with the relaunch of the Ultimate Universe over at Marvel and DC’s version of that through the Absolute Universe. For DC, it’s been even more than that. After 2022’s summer event Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, followed their 2023 line-wide relaunch titled Dawn of DC. It promised to be a new entry into the world, with new #1s and new creative teams, but that was derailed by events such as Knight Terrors and Beast World almost immediately.

Renee Montoya is a character who’s had a strange couple of years – to put it mildly. Originally created for Batman: The Animated Series, she made it to comics shortly before her debut on the show, but it wasn’t until Greg Rucka started writing her that things kicked into high gear.

With the release of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, comic readers saw a common, if not slightly niche, topic of discussion within the fandom reach the mainstream: How far can you push a character before they become something else? Reimaginings are rampant in the Marvel and DC multiverses, especially with the popularity of reboots, relaunches, and whatever you want to call a Crisis.

I am beyond impressed with Poison Ivy/Swamp Things: Feral Trees. Being more in line with the stylings of a horror comic than a superhero tale, the title certainly fits the genre. G. Willow Wilson’s writing, and the visuals by Mike Perkins and Mike Spicer pulled me right into that spooky feeling. Eerie murderous woods? Sign me up. It’s an ideal setting for those who are fans of the macabre. It was refreshing reading something a bit darker than what I usually read.

Catwoman #69 sees a new team taking over from Tini Howard’s squad for DC’s All In initiative. And what a memorable issue to start on. No, I’m not talking about the issue number – get your head out of the gutter. The issue itself has stuck with me since I read it.
