Synopsis: Vixen NYC follows the story of Mari Jiwe, a Black teen who was gifted a magical necklace from her grandmother before she heads off to New York for her undergraduate studies. Mari believes all the stories about the necklace are just family folklore until girls begin going missing from her college - including her roommate. Mari stumbles into animal shifting powers working alongside a street fighter to save her roommate and the other missing women.

Review: First and foremost I love that this was a Black character and not a character who happens to be Black. I didn’t know anything about the character Vixen ahead of reading this comic, but I was familiar with the writer Jasmine Walls - I read another of her comics earlier this year. Manou Azumi and Omar Antonio Vallejos did a great job on the art. I loved the frame within frame scattered look of the layout and the art. The storyline was fast paced and compelling. It’s definitely a one sitting comic. I’m looking forward to the next installment.

Thanks to Netgalley and DC Entertainment for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks NetGallery for this ARC.

The story (I give story 4 stars) was good. The artwork, 4 stars. The lettering 4 stars. I enjoyed reading this graphic novel.

4 out of 5 Stars

Well it's not my favorite DC webtoon that I've read, it's a fun, good, read and definitely worth the thirty minutes it me read it.

Grace Choi for the win! Oh, there were other characters in this comic too. Are you sure? Heh.

Mari is going to school in NYC. Before she does, she takes a trip to more of her family in Ghana, and, she gets given a totem. NYC isn't exactly what she thinks. And then women start going missing. Then she meets Grace Choi, who is looking for her girlfriend Anissa, who got taken. Can she get control of her powers in time?

It was a slightly different type of story than the Batman Webtoons TPB. This one was more of a cohesive story, and that was great. We also got to meet some very familiar faces too. I can't wait to read the second Volume.

Did I mention Grace Choi (one of my favorite underused DC Comics Characters ever....)
