Apparently, extraterrestrial badass Big Barda asked her to fill in for her during a superpowered pro wrestling match, and things… escalated.Įlsewhere, “Are You Ready For This?” by Britney Williams, Enrica Eren Angiolini, Maher, and writing duo Danny Lore and Ivan Cohen, continues the adventures of nonbinary speedster Kid Quick as they defend a Pride celebration from a debuting group of villains while figuring out if they’re really ready for the spotlight and pressure of being a big-time superhero. One of my favorite entries comes early in the book, with Stephanie Williams, Meghan Hetrick, Marissa Louise, and Ariana Maher’s “Confessions,” a charming romp in which newly-crowned Amazonian Queen Nubia tells her girlfriend, Io the blacksmith, the real story of how she broke one of her swords.
