She is known only as "the Lady." Her identity, her origins, even her rise to power, are shrouded in utter mystery. And make no mistake, that's purely intentional. That she rules increasingly larger portions of the galaxy with an iron grip and a wave of fear is not remotely in question. Why she wants to wipe out every human is.

BARBARELLA (VOL. 2) #6 hits the PAUSE button on the main plot of the volume to build out the character of Vix. Side stories can be hit or miss, but Hoyt pulls this one off with charm, humor, and subverts expectations to successfully give the entire relationship between Barbarella and Vix double meaning. The art duties have changed, and while the output is not as impressive, its fine work for an entertaining issue overall. Read Full Review
