Elkys Nova provides the pencils in a style that mixes action well with caricature. ![]() ![]() Marvel rather than witty repertoire akin to British humour trope. The settings may have changed, but Ramzee’s writing remains on point for the original audience will this work as homage or not? I am not sure as todays readers have been brought up to expect snappy banter akin to Ms. There is a casual diverse nature to this story, though as the original Cat Girl was about the inclusion of girls into comics, I am happy to see that this ideal has been carried across.
