Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero
by E. Lockhart
adventurous
lighthearted
slow-paced
For the most part I have been enjoying the new books about DC and Marvel characters, but I find this title a little lacking. Willow Zimmerman is just a girl trying to stay safe in Down Side Gotham City. Her mom has cancer, and her mom’s old college friend has come back around after years of absence. His name is E. Nigma. Poison Ivy and Killer Croc also have important roles. I find this one a little bit more far fetched then most. After an incident with Killer Croc, Willow has the capabilities of a dog and gives herself the superhero name of Whistle. How this makes an effective superhero, I am not quite sure. Plus, the major disaster that has to be stopped in this book is the “greening” of buildings. Basically causing plants to grow all over it. I don’t see what is so wrong with this. There are just too many holes in this story. I am not a big fan of art either. It seems more 80s style than modern graphic novels.
