DC Comics: Bombshells Vol. 5: The Death of Illusion by Marguerite Bennett

4.0

Really enjoying this series (and kinda blowing through it at an irresponsible speed) but I definitely had the "writer's a lib" moment in this volume where Bennet invokes Harry Potter by naming a flying manta ray Fawkes, which is okay, but then Harley later says Raven should work her magic that she learned "from that place that's definitely not Hogwarts."

Jesus Christ, Bennet, you already had a Harry Potter reference, did you absolutely have to put in a fourth wall breaking second one in there? I hope that she's at least embarrassed of that since Rowling turned out to be terrible.

Otherwise this series is absolutely lovely. I like "Pam-A-Lamb," both the term of endearment and the character. Making Supergirl and Lois a couple? Hell yeah, that's that gay subversion we down for.
