Gotham City Sirens: Unfit For Orbit #3 blasts off with Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn landing themselves in an out-of-this-world predicament. What started as a simple plan to rob a hot new outer space-themed nightclub in Gotham City quickly spiraled into a chaotic adventure, featuring the menacing alien despot, Despero!
Leah Williams continues to deliver an engaging adventure, showcasing Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn in a new, surprisingly heroic light. While some long-time fans might be surprised by this departure, many will appreciate seeing the Sirens taking on the role of saviors. This unexpected twist adds a fresh layer to their already complex personalities, making their journey to uncover Despero’s planet-destroying scheme all the more compelling.
This issue truly shines when the Sirens are separated, showcasing their individual strengths and resilience. Poison Ivy’s opening scene immediately grabs your attention. Captured and surrounded by adorable, yet unsettling, alien creatures in what’s dubbed the “little nugs room,” Ivy is disoriented but not defeated. The art in this section is exceptional, with vibrant colors and intricately detailed alien surroundings. The green fire, toxic with its black edges, perfectly conveys danger. Seriously, Poison Ivy has never looked better; her outfit in this series is an absolute cosplay dream.

Meanwhile, Harley finds herself in the very cage that imprisoned the child from the last issue. Haining’s vibrant and chaotic visuals perfectly mirror Harley’s chaotic energy, creating a wild and creative backdrop for her escape. Her subsequent breakout is pure, unadulterated Harley Quinn: a quiet yet destructive display of mayhem that effortlessly works in her favor, culminating in a glorious dropkick to the DJ!
The artistic talents of Haining are a perfect match for Williams’ script. The vibrant precision in their art captures the dynamic energy and emotional nuances of the story. The action sequences are fluid and exciting, making brilliant use of the environment and the bizarre alien landscapes. Plascencia’s use of color is particularly noteworthy, with a rich, varied palette that enhances the otherworldly setting while also underscoring the mood of each scene. The art here transitions between high-octane hijinks and more introspective moments, fully immersing the reader in the Sirens’ cosmic misadventure.
