Some fun stories in this one but like the last volume, it does suffer from the 2010s digital coloring

Despite it's abysmal start, the Power Girl book series is rocking and rolling.

Power Girl's interactions with all the other characters - especially the superheroes - make scenes shine. Her relationship with Superman is interesting, but how she gets along with both Batmen (Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson) are particularly enjoyable. You really get to see Karen's fun-loving nature, as well as her big heart. She has so much personality, it's hard not to smile as you read her adventures. She's utterly lovable and admirable.Rayhan Mazin's story is refreshing and so interesting. Th...

Fun, but it gets docked points because the first half of the book is very choppy due to the bulk of the Max Lord story being told elsewhere, so only the crossover and epilogue parts of the story are here.

Feel a bit disappointed here. Didn't know until it was too late that the big Maxwell Lord story was a serious crossover with the Justice League: Generation Lost book that Winick must've been writing at the same time as the Power Girl series.That storyline is pretty damn good - don't get me wrong, total mind control has a habit of making it *very* easy to believe that even the most impressive superheroes could end up club-foot-dragging and never quite getting to the bottom of their problems. (kin...

I know a lot of people who dismissed Power Girl's solo series once Gray, Palmiotti and Conner left with issue #12, but the series has been just as enjoyable, if not moreso, under Judd Winick, and this second volume is proof of that.This trade collects a three part tie-in arc to Justice League: Generation Lost which is great, though feels a bit unfinished since the plotlines are all tied up in the JLGL book itself. They are a nice companion however, if you read the maxiseries.Next comes two two p...

So sad that this book is done, and indeed all of the pre-New 52 DC Universe. Like Secret Six and Manhunter, these higher quality books were gone before their time. Power Girl really managed to keep it fun, but also deliver solid messages at the same time.

If you can only say one thing in favour of this book, it's that it's a handy reminder about how, even before the more baffling aspects of the recent reboot, DC had succeeded in making a complete mess of their universe, so maybe a reset was needed. And let's be clear, you can only say one thing in favour of this book. Even the flashbacks to the delightful era of the Giffen/deMatteis Justice League are muddled and clunky.

The whole other three volumes setting up for an awesome plot and then putting the conclusion in a different comic series was a really stupid and disappointing thing to do to the readers of this series. So yeah, thanks for the anti-climatic filler comics as the end to the series.

Really disjointed storytelling. Thankfully I had previously read the JLI books and all the Booster Gold books, so I knew the whole Maxwell Lord/Ted Kord storyline. This is definitely not a standalone volume. And still the story jumps around haphazardly. I read in another review that this book is split with another. I do believe they make reference to it early on in this volume, but that's some pretty shoddy editing. I shouldn't have to switch reading books every few pages to get caught up on an

The vacant, overly-made-up face on Power Girl in the cover image is probably all you need to know about the art. The writing is...only okay. Not better than in the previous volume, not worse, but not up to the standard of the first two volumes. What is more, unlike the previous three volumes, this volume is missing issues because the rest of the action took place in another series! Literally, one issue in this volume ends with Power Girl and Batman fiercely announcing their intent to stop Max Lo...

The final two stories are good, it might have something to do with the fact that Judd Winick didn't write them. Or it might be something to do with the fact that both of them return somewhat to the fun that the Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti issues had.The problem with the book is, the main driving story is just so different from the fun times that I can't help but lash out at it. The Max Lord story that has been the drive for all of Winick's run just meanders around for during this book, and w...

It's the last collected volume of Power Girl comics, at least of the "pre-New 52" variety. All-in-all, the volume has some feeling of being disjointed. It leads with a transition piece, wrapping the Maxwell Lord conflict and paving the way fro a more "civilianized" Karen Starr and rebirth of her Starrware company.A set of two-part stories follow, mostly with a lack of peril to Power Girl, and wraps with a mystery-villain powers test. Then the volume ends. Now, the volume editor knew there were n...

That was wonderfully but abrupt. So far I've been surprised with the change in direction in tone and focus if this series. I really like Conner/Palmiotti but so far I've been pleased with this new team. Too bad the series needed to end. World: The art was good, I like how direct and simple it is and the facial expressions are good, frames are a bit static but that's minor. The world building here is much more keyed towards joining Karen's world with the rest of the DCU and for the most part it's...

I'll give this book five stars even when Winnick and Basri didn't work in the two final issues interior pages, but Sturges and Prasetya are not bad at all; these creators just filled in with two individual stories, full of action yes, but they don't add that much to what the previous writers and artists made with Kara. I can recommend this entire run to anyone interested in female superheroes, it is collected in four TPBs.

Minus one star for the terrible cover art to this collection. Minus half a star for crossover nonsense and new-52 world ending messing with the end of this book. Rounded up because I enjoyed the book overall.

This Power Girl graphic novel was a little better than the last one. Sami Basri and Hendry Prasetya illustrated, and Judd Winick and Matthew Sturges wrote the story. Just to let you know, Sami Basri was the illustrator that I complained about the last Power Girl graphic novel I read. Well, it was illustrated just a tiny bit better. A little more detail was added. Storyline? It was great. I always think that if the story is about an obscure character, it's always good to grace the pages with well...

Not quite as good as bomb squad. Has more to do with the fact it is half the story. The other half took place in another comic book, bouncing back and forth between the two, so I have no idea what was happening half the time. The writing was still really, really good.

Bringing the Power Girl series to a close (in preparation for the NEW 52 launch), the 4th graphic novel continues the Max Lord/Brightest Day: Generation Lost storyline. While I still have the same concerns I listed in my review for Volume 3, once the Max Lord material has wrapped, the title has some of its best stories to date. My personal fav is the penultimate issue where Power Girl meets her fan club. So cute & heart warming! I really miss the pre-NEW 52 Power Girl.... :(
