Mike Maihack's Love Is Sharing Candy


Last week I covered Mike Maihack's comic on social distancing.

Today I cover another Maihack comic, this one his Valentine's Day comic which I missed called "Love is Sharing Candy". Here is a link:

I wonder if there was any unneeded blowback about this comic.

The comic opens with a look at three of DC's biggest power couples sharing candy on Valentine's Day. We see Superman giving some to Lois, Catwoman giving candy to Batman, and Harley bringing candy to Poison Ivy. No mistaking these are examples of romantic love.

The book ends with Kara bring candy to Batgirl. Initially Batgirl seems to bristle. Doesns't Supergirl know what that usually means? But Kara says it is sharing candy with people you love.

The two end up sharing the sweets while a lovelorn and broken-hearted Robin looks on.

Do you think Maihack is saying Supergirl and Batgirl love each other romantically? It works.

Do you think Maihack is saying Kara loves Barbara as a friend? It works.

Decide what you want.

I love it both ways.

I hope Maihack continues to put out SG/BG comics at this rate. They always make me smile!
