Lovely comic capturing the spirit of the popular animated show
4 stars
Legend of the Fire Princess is a self-contained story taking place sometime during the second season of the show. Both the Princess Alliance and Catra, Scorpia, Entrapta (and some Cousins-of-Emily) try to secure a lost runestone before the others can get to it. The comic does a nice job of showing the various strengths and insecurities of the characters. Scorpia, Frosta, and Perfuma each have very lovable spotlight moments. There‘s a short/ interrupted exchange between Bow and Entrapta which captures both characters really well. Anybody loving Mermista saying „ughh“? This books has you covered. Catra and She-Ra meet and fight, and Adora has to deal with a depressing realization... All characters are depicted faithfully, and it‘s easy to imagine their lines in the voices we know from the animated show. What I love is that Legend of the Fire Princess, despite the action story and humor, stays true to the …
