My Buddy, Killer Croc

In My Buddy, Killer Croc (2022–present, DC), writer Sara Farizan and artist Nicoletta Baldari spin a one-issue tale that reimagines Gotham’s reptilian brute as a surprisingly gentle soul. This standalone comic explores the unexpected friendship between a lonely young girl and the misunderstood Killer Croc, peeling back his monstrous exterior to reveal a softer, more human core. A warm, offbeat addition to DC’s lineup, it matters for its empathetic take on a classic villain.
