Marvel and DC Comics have been publishing crossover comic books blending their favorite heroes in all-new adventures. Titles published by Marvel are labeled “Marvel/DC,” and DC Comics' side is “DC/Marvel.”
The latest DC/Marvel title is DC/Marvel: Supergirl/Blade, a digital-first comic book that is available to read for free at “DC Universe Infinite” website and on the “DC Go” app.
The story is written by CRC Payne; drawn by Mikel Janin (layouts) and Hugo Petrus (finishes); colored by Marcelo Maiolo; and lettered by Pat Brosseau. In the story, the “Girl of Steel” and “the Daywalker” find themselves in clutches of Mojo, the master of the “Mojoverse,” who wants Supergirl and Blade to star in one of his new gladiator-like television series?
DC/Marvel: Supergirl/Blade opens on Mojoworld, where its ruler, Mojo, the meta television show tycoon is looking for his next TV hit. In the hopes of entertaining the denizens of Mojoworld, Mojo has come up with a new idea. How about a romance series starring a strong female?
He kidnaps Supergirl and pits her against a trio of vampires. That's more than enough reason to bring in the male lead – Blade the vampire slayer. Trapped on Mojo's sound stage, Supergirl and Blade will be forced to battle bloodsucking foes, engage in melodramatic tropes, and take on Mojo himself. Now, this unlikely duo must team up to fight their way to freedom before the show’s final twist becomes their series finale and the end of their lives.
THE LOWDOWN: I have been mostly ignoring the Marvel-DC Comics crossovers, but I love me some Blade. I was excited by the recent, surprise news about Supergirl/Blade, and I became even more excited when I learned that it would be free to read.
Supergirl/Blade is a totally unexpected team-up, and while this comic book does not feature an intense struggle against evil in support of continuity, it is still a charming digital comic. I must give writer CRC Payne credit for finding a way to create a delightful tale featuring two mismatched characters that is also an appropriate for comics readers of all ages.
The art team of Mikel Janin (layouts), Hugo Petrus (finishes), and Marcelo Maiolo (colors) delivers straightforward storytelling that grounds the weirdness of this team-up. This is straightforward entertaining weird fiction. Pat Brosseau's classic lettering puts the finishing touches on this comics tale that makes it seem as timeless as it is unusual.
Dear readers, I suggest taking a trip over to “DC Universe Infinite” and enjoying Supergirl/Blade. It isn't monumental, but I had fun reading it.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of DC/Marvel crossovers will want to read DC/Marvel Supergirl/Blade.
