This game promises an eclectic mix of “training, collecting, and exploring” as you battle beasts in the overworld by day and enhance your witch’s capabilities back home at night.

Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman’s team-up book returns this August from DC
09.05.2024 - 15:39 / polygon.com / Harley Quinn
Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman will ride (together) again this August, Polygon can exclusively reveal, in Gotham City Sirens, a weekly-publishing miniseries from Leah Williams (X-Factor), Matteo Lolli (Marauders), Daniel Hillyard (Plush), and Brandt & Stein (Crowded).
The “Gotham City Sirens” is the now traditional name for the team up of Batman’s most prominent female villains (ish) Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman. And while the trio hasn’t seen a Gotham City Sirens book since 2011, the characters are doing quite well at DC Comics proper. Fans of DC’s ongoing Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy books may be in for a shock when they see that none of them will be shipping an issue in August — but it’s just to turn the mic over to Williams and company.
Speaking to Polygon, Williams said that finding out about the pause was certainly a shock to her.
“I was nearly done with the book when Tini Howard — one of my very best friends; writing Harley Quinn and Catwoman — mentioned the books pausing, and I panicked,” Williams said. “I was like, ‘Wait, that’s when Gotham City Sirens is supposed to come out! What do you mean, the books are pausing?’ She was like, ‘No, sweetie, [laughs] they’re pausing for this.’”
In the new story, Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman are going on a Western themed adventure out by Gotham’s county line, facing off against the likes of Punchline, and a quartet of mysterious new villains called the Nasty Boys, a “cowboy-henchmen sensation soon to be sweeping the nation,” according to DC’s news release. Or, as Williams puts it, “ominously horny half-naked cowboys with automatic assault weapons.”
Williams naturally couldn’t share too many details of the plot, but explained that it was inspired by a strange wildlife encounter she once had driving through the middle of nowhere in Montana’s cattle country.
“Across the intersection was this alien creature I had never seen before, not native to Montana [...] It had these black spiraling horns and big black eyes, and stripes; there is nothing in Montana that looks like that. For years afterward, when I was describing this encounter to my parents or bosses, they were like, ‘Oh, you probably saw a moose. You saw a deer. You just imagined it.’ And like, ‘No, bitches, I KNOW WHAT I SAW!’”
It wasn’t until years later, when Williams spotted the same animal in a Texas animal sanctuary, that she discovered she’d come upon an African Impala, one that had likely imported for, and escaped from, an exotic game hunt.
“Ever since then,” Williams said, “I’ve been stewing over the idea of Who does that? Who imports exotic animals to Montana just for the sport of killing them? That is so foul to me, but it’s also legal there; completely within bounds.”

Surprise! Batman: Caped Crusader is alive and well and premieres this summer
Much like the weird creature of the night it is named after, Batman: Caped Crusader has been shrouded in mystery since it was announced, with only a neat teaser poster to go on that was evocative of radio serials and a noir-ish feel. Executive-produced by the powerhouse trio of J.J. Abrams, The Batman directorMatt Reeves, and Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Bruce Timm, Caped Crusader stands to be the splashiest animated take on Batman in some time. The best part is, we won’t have to wait very long for it: Prime Video announced Thursday that Caped Crusader will premiere on Aug. 1.

This bodycam mech shooter has a slick rainy day look and Zelda-like vehicle construction
Got some nice rain for you today. Second-Loop is an upcoming sci-fi shooter featuring mechs, physics puzzles, and at least one freaky umbilical-corded being struggling against the confines of a horrific laboratory womb. Video games! All of that sounds interesting. But it's the moody reflections on the rain-slick surfaces and the game's bodycam-style presentation that's really got me going "oooooo". Don't you want to say "oooooo" too? C'mere and see.
