Eureka! Femforce #189 is here to save us from the pandemic doldrums, but that doesn't mean its pages are devoid of other kinds of vexing weirdness, at least for our gorgeous heroines.
In addition to our faithful regulars (Nightveil, Ms. Victory, Tara Fremont, Stardust, She-Cat and Synn), the monstrous, though awfully attractive Alizarin Crimson stirs further, sinister sorcery in the second half of writer Bill Black's sizzling, "Crimson Treachery" saga, (this particular chapter entitled, "Freak Out!"), with each and every page etched in dynamic, digital color (graced by stunning illustrations from artist, Eric Coile, bolstered by Black's superb inks and pigments).
For a wee tease, I can tell you that Ms. Victory gets the brunt of Alizarin's trickery at the chapter's start, but things turn pretty sour for Synn and She-Cat as it concludes, not to mention the peculiar infantile descent of Tara Fremont during the middle. Even so, our valiant gals give it their all, even if their wicked adversary appears to hold a surreal upper hand, due no less to the mind-warping Dream Shroud.
To see how it all enfolds, purchase Femforce #189 at your local comic shop or favorite online source. (My copy was reserved at Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road, Trenton, NJ, and for that, I'm most grateful to the gracious Dale, who made certain the order ended up in my hands.)
