In a follow up to last year’s Gotham City Sirens, writer Leah Williams (X-Factor, Power Girl) joins artist Haining (Spirit World, Poison Ivy) to take everyone’s favorite Gotham City gals to space — sort of.

This morning’s Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct showcased new character outfits, courses, and items, but it also showed off two new things players can do during races: charge jump and rewind. To charge jump, players will need to hold down the drift buttons on straight paths. After releasing the button, you can jump in the air, leaping high enough to jump over cars and other obstacles.
