Well this was a whole lot better than I expected! A fine end to the mini.
The art was off - I wish artists would understand how boobs and boob windows worked. For example, look here. The lady's breasts are big. The window is big, but it is high, not wide, or low. Boob windows that are as low as those seen in this comic will not hold boobs in. They will spill out, even if you have Kryptonian super boobs. Especially if you have Kryptonian super boobs that are somehow pushed up, possibly by an invisible super bra. Push up bras are not very good at keeping you in one place. At leats mine aren't, and I have pretty large boobs. Gaah.
And her costume mysteriously changes to her old non windowed one for one panel.
Aside from that, the colours are nice and the story is good. We open with BL Superman giving us a run down on his life. Then we cut to the present moment and Mr Terrific is building a thunderbolt bomb that will wipe out the Black Lanterns in the area and it's up to the rest of the JSA to delay BL Supes. Unfortunately thsi Kal -L is trying to thrash Power Girl. When she's collapsed, he's ripping through the rest of the JSA like flies. Jesse Quick is running with her father, enjoying having him back, but knowing that it's not really real.
What I loved about this is how the heroes are not fooled anymore. Karen knows that this Supes is not real and she's doing her damndest to stop him. And stop him she does. The rest of the group are all clued up, even Jesse and they all work together to destroy them.
I don't have any scans of this comic, but I did find some scans of the latest Wonder Woman issue, which show just how awesome Power Girl is. She and Wondy are fighting, in America:
Wonder Woman and Power Girl was a joy and a thing of beauty. And fun.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun.
Quick question, do you know a good website to get comics from? I want to get a subscription of comics, maybe Wonder Woman or JSA, but I haven't a clue where to start looking or if there are any reputible websites. I'm in Ireland without any comic book shops in my county
ReplyDeleteI don't have personal experience of buying new comcis online, I'm afraid, but I know my local shop does mail orders but I'm not sure if they'd post to Ireland. email me if you want their details as I would def recommend them. (paicomics at yahoo dot co dot uk)
ReplyDeletehaving done a quick google search i've come up with:
http://www.comicdomain.co.uk/, but have never bought anything from them.
I've been into an Ace comics before in colchester and apparently they do mail orders.
Or you could try the shops listed on my other blog:
http://paipicks.blogspot.com/2009/12/comic-shops-uk-and-beyond.html
either way if you could let me know who you decide to go with (if you;re happy with them) and I'll put a recc up on New readers.
btw, Gail Simone is due to stop writing WW later this year so before you put an order in on that title I'd wait and see who's taking over. the new writer might be crap!
Gail's replacement on Wonder Woman has been announced. J. Michael Straczynski will start with issue #601 in July.
