Continued good stories, art and color. This volume is definitely less 'meta' than the first two volumes in the collection, but a LOT more action-centric; reading it was a breeze.I suspect I am borderline OCD. There is one more published volume of Power Girl's solo adventures (Power Girl, Volume 4: Old Friends). I would like to read it, but, of course, my library does not have a copy. Nor, according to "MARINA", do any of the libraries in Maryland. NOR, according to WorldCat, do any of the librar...

This had an interesting story that explored the good-old secret identity while letting Power Girl have some super-fights. I liked the art, which is definitely 21st century style comic art.

I hate when there's this change in the creative team in something I'm reading. Except, I knew there was a change in volume 3 long before I read volume 1, and I've liked most things I've read by Winick, so it wasn't a huge let down to have them switch to him. This was an interesting chapter in the Power Girl story. The whole Max Lord thing was odd, since I had previously never encountered the guy before, so I wasn't sure if they were slipping someone in through 'mind altered' methods, or if I'm s...

Love this run on Power girl but these books feel really outside of the rest of the DC Universe. Would love to see a more serious take on this character, I mean she can be funny but just more interesting story and get a super artist like Doug MAHNKE to draw her in super exaggerated glory!

Public library copy.

Well-paced, fun read with distinct characters and a cohesive plot. The art is passable for the most part, at times well-done, but ultimately held back by its awkwardness. The writing was good with some excellent dialogue, some great meta-commentary, and a solid plot. Karen was well-developed and likable, whilst also being flawed and crass and sometimes careless.

I loved the prior 2 volumes and ditched this series once the team changed. However, the library turned this up and I was curious so gave it a whirl. My initial instincts were right.It feels like a different character, losing the lighthearted style, wit and soul to a misjudged facsimile. The deeper story works just fine (though has no pay off in this volume) but the whole thing generally misses the mark. The art style sums it up for me: photo-realism while attempting to imitate Amanda Conner's wo...

The change of writer's has greatly improved this book series, but I sadly fear that it's too little too late.

3.5 starsI've got to hand it to DC and dependable scribe Judd Winick -- I had no idea this was 'Volume 3' (my library copy was not marked as such) but yet the story was fairly accessible for someone who has not read or has access to the prior books. The astute PG is an easy to like superheroine -- she (half-)jokes that she's "not human" because she's Kryptonian, but she seems refreshingly down-to-earth. Her snappy and self-deprecating dialogue / thoughts were a plus, and she's well-served by a f...

POWER GIRL Vol. 3: BOMB SQUAD is a better read than the 3 stars that I gave it, but it is very defined by the DC Comics company crossover event involving Max Lord returning to life post "Blackest Night". And while the tie-in "Brightest Day" limited series "Justice League: Generation Lost" is also a fun read, this level of DC lore is way more than most readers are going to want to invest into their books. Flow charts are needed. The new creative team of Judd Winick & Sami Basri do great work, and...

bright and breezy story with eye catching art. just the right blend of humour, serious and humour. first time i have seen the art of sami basri. very good. judd winick does what he always does and turns in solid work. good fun.

ARGH I wrote a review and my computer died on me. So this is just gonna be a fast review (I'm annoyed at the moment).World: I liked the art, I did not expect to, but it's not bad. The line work is simple but really effective. The character emotions are wonderful and yes PG looks way more sexy but it's not ridiculous. World building is fun and tonally different, more classic comic book. But the best part is the call back to PG's history and the DCU. It's less crazy as the last 12 issues but it's

To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with this Power Girl graphic novel. The writing was a little better than the previous two graphic novels, but the artist who illustrated this graphic novel didn't do a great job, I thought. Batman was a great edition to the storyline, though, as well as the JSA All-Stars. Well, onto the next. Hopefully it's a little better.

I've been reading a lot of Batman lately and I needed something lighter and more fun to keep things fresh. I'd read Amanda Conner's Power Girl before and figured if that woman was as sassy and fun as this one, I'd be set. And wow, did Judd Winick and Sam Basri deliver! I think I even prefer this version to Conner's (as that one always pointed out how sexualized PG is, to the point of being a bit annoying). Power Girl is fun, intelligent, sassy, and everything you'd expect her to be. I had a blas...

Did I mention that I love this damn kid, with her identity angst and her sense of humour and her Kryptonian powers and her hilarious enemies and her plain old earnest desire to do good? I love this kid. <3

Good, but not great. They seem to have handed both the writing and the art to new people, and while it's still pretty good, it lacks the charm and warmth of Justin Gray's writing and Amanda Conner's art. The art in particular is more photo-realistic, but that results in it feeling LESS alive and LESS vibrant. Oh, cruel irony! The action scenes feel less dynamic, the character interactions feel less human, the backgrounds feel less "inhabited", etc. Power Girl herself lacks the smirk, the sense o...

It's not bad but it's a huge step down from the Conner/Palmiotti stuff. Story just feels a little thin and Sam Basri is actually one of my top artists going right now but this seems like it's well before he really got his footing. It also really suffers from that 2010s digital coloring that just makes everything look lifeless.

My first touch with Powergirl (if not counting pin-up/fanart/cosplay-pictures). It was fun. I like'd how she is a bit of an cheeky gal and collection told enough about her history to get by. Stories were pretty straight forward but worked very well for me. I've been pretty clueless about all the things that have happened in DC universe last few years and Dick Grayson as Batman was complete surprise. So even that Powergirl wasn't anythign earth shattering new, it had it's own kind of voice and I

"If I hear one more moron in a fancy suit underplay how much my life is going down the toilet, I'm gonna make their rib cage into a hat."Issues that open with our hero in serious, self-deprecating trouble - very reminiscent of the Fraction/Aja run on Hawkeye.Fun scenes with villains that just grow bigger when they suck at beating down Power Girl.The only part of this book that didn't have me enjoying it all over was the part where the guy figures out who Power Girl's secret identity is, and face...

I really enjoyed it. Like the other Power Girl volumes, the author did a good job mixing action, drama & humor together.I read this one differently than the others, though, because I've had #YesAllWomen on my mind. Because of that, I did notice the sexism a little more, even though (if I remember correctly) the previous volumes were worse.
