Synopsis
There’s a hot new outer space-themed nightclub in Gotham City, and who better to rob it than Catwoman, Ivy, and Harley? But there’s more to this intergalactic discotheque than meets the eye(s), as the Sirens discover when they stumble headfirst into a plot to destroy the entire planet led by the club’s owner—the alien despot Despero! I hope you have good insurance, Gotham City, because you’re about to get wrecked. Special appearances by deadly DJs, hunky alien hotties, dancers dressed as aliens, mutant failures, one wild UFO, and lots and lots of fire!
Review
So it turns out Lunaria isn’t just a nightclub—it’s a floating spaceship slowly tearing Gotham a new one. Issue #4 opens with a glorious two‑page spread of the Kalla‑ray beam frying city blocks, and we get cameos from Althea Klang & Chicken Fingers (shout‑out to the Harley crowd), Janet (Ivy’s eternal sidekick), and a handful of other “oh hey, I know you” faces, all gawping as chaos rains down.
Just when you think all hope is lost, the concrete of Gotham City begins to crack, and vines explode skyward—cue Poison Ivy’s furious entrance. Watching her command that living greenery is pure comic‑book poetry: organic yet menacing, nurturing yet utterly lethal. It’s Ivy at her visual best. Meanwhile, Catwoman’s tossing out killer one‑liners like she’s auditioning for SNL, and Harley… bless her, she lands a dad joke so gloriously groan‑worthy you’ll forgive her for everything.
By sheer stubbornness (and a dollop of lunatic luck), the Sirens claw their way back, denting Despero’s mind‑control plans. His fatal mistake? Underestimating Harley Quinn’s psyche—because trying to tame that circus of a brain is a recipe for total anarchy. And when Harley turns her own head into a booby trap? Let’s just say Despero won’t soon forget this trip to Crazytown.
As the fourth instalment in the five‑issue run, the stakes are sky‑high and the tension is even higher. The Sirens are unearthing nuggets of information they can leverage—only to find every answer spawns five more questions. Thankfully, whether it’s sly, cat‑like combat, god‑like power over organic matter, or dad‑jokes and an oversized mallet, they’re bashing, dashing, and slashing their way to the bitter end.
Verdict
Issue #4 is a wild ride: a floating spaceship slowly tearing Gotham a new one, Ivy’s vines versus concrete, SNL‑ready zingers from Catwoman, and Harley’s gloriously groan‑worthy dad joke that turns Despero’s mind‑control plot into total anarchy. The Sirens may be in over their heads, but they’re bashing, dashing, and slashing their way through cosmic chaos—and I’m here for every insane second.
