The countdown has begun, and the odds that Barbarella will be able to save the colonists of Alpha Prime are getting longer by the second — especially since she still has to find out where they’ve all gone! Meanwhile, light years away on Planet Metrafusion, time’s also just about up for Jury Quire — and not even Barbarella can be in two places at once!
Head timekeeper BLAKE NORTHCOTT (Vampirella, Catwoman, Heavy Metal Magazine) and line judge ANNA MOROZOVA (Judge Dredd, 2000 AD) sound the two-minute warning with Barbarella #5 — backed by covers from cheer squad members JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ANNIE WU, RICHARD PACE, and more
The book has some thrilling action scenes and Barbarella is in full James Bond mode here. It's a fun but abrupt conclusion to the miniseries. Read Full Review
Barbarella is a fun and thoroughly retro experience, from its storyline to its visuals. The series isnt afraid to acknowledge that titillation was part of the experience. At the same time, Northcott and her artistic collaborators know how to balance it. This issue does lack some of the action and media commentary as it rushes to finish the story. Nevertheless, Barbarella #5 is a fun experience and a great way to end the series. Read Full Review
And then theres the whole Mojo thing. Anne Nocenti and Chis Claremont had done stories involving an intergalactic villain who made dangerous movies involving superheroes in deathtraps and such and...those stories didnt really live-up to the genius of Nocentis ideas either, which is really too bad. The basic idea really IS a lot of fun. Barbarella would be a fun character to send through murderous action films set-up by some crazy lunatic with a bottomless budget, but it would take a much more savvy script to be able to embrace the potential.
