Vixen - Return of the Lion #5 & #6 - DC


This series ends much as we expected it would. Mari fights Kwesi and beats him. She's tapped in to real magic after all. He? He's just the puppet of Intergang. And without there's toys . . he's nothing other than an ordinary man. The JLA showed up last issue to help, but with their vulnerability towards magic . . they almost undid everything they tried to make. Sometimes you can fix things with a little knowledge and determination. Rather than a hammer. Anyways, it appears there's some magic in Zambesi that even Mari doesn't know about. She's been helped throughout this story by a Shaman and his lion. But, as they appear at the end of this issue, they both seem to be a bit more 'devilish' than they've let on. But . . that appears to be a story for another time. I was impressed with G Willow Wilson's story here. And equally impressed by this artist that goes by the name of Cafu. Overall I thought it was a very strong book, and a nice way to bring the spotlight into Mari's direction. Even if it was briefly. I think she's a great character and I wish we could explore her a bit more.
