It's a new year and luckily 2019 started out with another Batgirl/Supergirl comic strip from Mike Maihack!
I have always been impressed with Maihack's holiday based comics of Babs and Kara. Kara is always played as the straight-laced foil to Kara's more bubbly persona. It is clear they are great friends even if their approach is different. And without a doubt they enjoy each others company.
This New Year comic has Kara switching out the heroes' usual costumes with bright pink ones. Babs, of course, can't be the brooding Bat when she looks like 'Bubblegum'. But that is the whole point per Kara.
And it seems to be a justified move when Batman, of all people, arrives with a Santa sack filled with candy. Love it.
Of course, in the Maihack world, Supergirl is obsessed with costumes and several strips have been focused on her switching things up. There is even a 'Christmas costume' strip out there, all somewhere in the link above.
I love Maihack's strips. So this end of year strip is always an extra special gift!
But I love that Supergirl is in the solid pink outfit which seems to be available in plenty of costume shops and Halloween stores. It reminded me that it has been officially seen in a comic when Sterling Gates had Kara in it while in a Psi-induced nightmare in Adventures of Supergirl #7 .
There are a couple of more holiday season posts to get through so bear with me over the next week or so!
