First Look Images Of New WEBTOON And DC Collaboration VIXEN: NYC

Vixen: NYC is the first in a lineup of new digital comics created by WEBTOON and DC. Coming out May 26, the story follows a young college freshman Mari as she navigates not only college, but new super powers. Here’s the full synopsis:

Mari Jiwe grew up in a small, seaside town in North Carolina, but upon graduating high school seeks to connect with extended family in Ghana. There, she meets relatives who gift her a mysterious totem, passed down for generations. Immediately upon returning home, she moves to New York for her freshman year of college. Mari hates it. New York is smelly, dirty, and full of even smellier and dirtier animals. Holed up in her room she finally inspects the totem--inadvertently releasing its magic. She is hit with an energy that gives her the power of the animal kingdom...of New York. 

Mari had a hard enough time navigating college as a normal girl, and now she not only has to figure out how to "adult," but also how to "superhuman." Then women, who look unusually like Mari, are kidnapped across the city. Vixen learns an estranged, distant relative, General Maksai, is on the hunt for her, seeking the crystal for himself. To stop his war path, Vixen will have to stop him. As she does, she learns the true extent of her abilities. Turns out, she's capable of a lot more than she thought.

It sounds like a fun story about growing up and learning how to go from high school to college. The first look images look great so far, the art style is simple but effective and so far seems to feature people with more realistic body proportions. I especially like the art style of the part that gives the background for the magic totem. Will you be reading this when it comes out?
