In the
past year or so I've made an effort to read more comics. I've always been
worried about starting in the wrong place with comics. Recently though I've
talked to a friend who is a avid comic reader. They suggested to just pick a
spot and go. So that's what I've done and they also suggested to try the DC
Rebirth Series. So I've done that too. Because my reviews are often short for
these, I've combined a few. Look out for more comic mashups soon!

Once
again the campers plan on a non-magical day at camp, but magical creatures
destroy those plans! I adore all the characters in this series as I've
mentioned before and the group is more cohesive in this volume. I'm so glad the
girls are working together again and I was glad we focused on the group rather
than individuals. The magical kitten adventures were adorable. I loved all the
kitten powers!
After
two volumes that disappointed me, I really enjoyed this one and I continue to
recommend it to everyone looking for fun female-positive comics.

This
volume really packed a punch. The girls travel forward in time and they face
themselves and their futures. The concept is fascinating. I think the plot and
time travel could have been explained more. Time travel is messy and confusing
in general. Having minimal text to explain multiple plot lines in time travel
could be disastrous. Instead this is fairly coherent and a mystery is mixed in
so there is intentional confusion. Overall, I still really love the girls and
how they are both scared and badass throughout the story.
