Firslty, 2 seems a bit harsh. I really feel this novel should be a 2.5. Because it's not a bad novel, just no mindblowing. Graphic novels are hard to write, because the reader has to feel that the pictures on the page are real characters; real people. I didn't quite feel that with this novel. I felt like I was looking at pictures on a page as opposed to reading a story with genuine characters. The art is adequate, but there isn't a prevailing plot here. If I was reading this is single issues, I
Well, having picked up the first Volume of this series through idle curiosity I actually found it was a half-good story. It had its ups, it had its downs. What more could you want? Nothing is perfect. And that's the first problem with the Volume 2. It isn't perfect. In fact, far less perfect than its predecessor. We pick up from where Volume 1 left off, Powergirl (Karen Starr) and her fellow unwilling refugee Huntress (Helena Wayne) continue to play out their lives on this new Earth after being
Good stuff, but the writer is dragging out plotlines to generate Desa'ad, or however he spells his name, into some super-super-supervillain, yet expects us to believe he won;t just vaporize Huntress or Power Girl where they stand. The art seems to vary in quality, or at least consistency, as well.
I blame Mike. See, he wrote this review for Power Girl, Vol. 1: A New Beginning that made her sound all fun and worthwhile to read about.It's not that I didn't like Power Girl, she just didn't seem interesting...till his review.Well, I couldn't get the book he was gushing about, but this popped up in the search box on my library's website. So like an excited puppy (who can use a mouse), I clicked on it.This wasn't all that good.The story is that Earth 2's Supergirl (Power Girl) and Robin (Huntre...
The series that portrays best friends Helena Wayne, the Huntress, and Karen Starr, the Power Girl, continues! They’re from Earth 2 which was devastated by Darkseid’s forces and now they’re looking for a way back. This collection has shorter stories, each two issues, which seem at first disconnected from each other. Also, the final issues concentrate on the disappearance of Michael Holt which happened in the Mr. Terrific’s comic. I didn’t even know Power Girl and Mr. Terrific were dating.In the f...
(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: Staccato plot, assumes a lot, and needs more cultivation: it adopts the threads of several books with little explanation.
More great stories from this underrated book series. It was especially great to see Power Girl back in her "real" costume again.
On the plus side I can cross this series off my list and move on to something else.I hate the art. I hate the characterization of Power Girl. I hate that I'm supposed to believe that other superheroes are unaware of their existence. Seriously, the way they avoid Batman and Supergirl in this installment reminded me of the awkwardly empty X-Mansion in the first Deadpool movie, but without the self-aware humor.There is just nothing here for me.
I really enjoy the contrasts in personality. But my favorite moments are between the "siblings".
Ugh, why change Power Girl's costume?
This feels a little more engaging than the first volume. I enjoyed the Damian appearances.
Collects Worlds’ Finest issues #6-12I really like the parallel universe aspect of their story. Best friends stuck in a different world, acting as heroes and creating new lives. It is a lot of fun. Helena meeting Damien was my favorite part of this volume. I like how she refers to Damien as Not-Brother and Bruce as Not-Dad. She hasn’t actually met Bruce yet, but it will be interesting when they finally cross paths. Damien and Helena are a good team, though. Almost as good as Helena and Karen. (Sp...
While I don't think this series is a top-tier title in the New 52, I really enjoy it for one basic thing - it is about two awesome ladies kicking ass and doing things their own way. Like most of my favorite titles in comics, aside from a few cameos, this title isn't concerned with anything outside of itself. No tie-in issues, no appearances in other titles; it is just this. That being said, there wasn't a lot Levitz & co. had to do in this volume to keep me entertained other than sticking to the...
I was looking for a fun series of Power Girl books, DC's New 52 era of books as a big story that I discovered from this website: https://www.comicbookwire.com/reading...I went ahead and collected a pile of books from this list.After reading the Huntress book which was bit disappointing, things picked up with Worlds' Finest Volume 1 and then got really exciting with WF Volume 2 Hunt and Be Hunted.While the art in this series of books is only average at best, it certainly is serviceable.It's the s...
I really did like the first World's Finest volume, so I'm not sure why this one wasn't as thrilling for me. There were things that I liked, which earned it the three stars. In particular, Helena meeting Damien, which went about as well as you might expect. But overall, kind of underwhelming.
This is a fun book, even if it does still fall back on cheesecake a little too often. Huntress and Power Girl, refugees of Earth-2 living in Earth 1, make for a fun pair of protagonists, and there's even a fair bit of girl power celebration here. They're strong characters, independent and living for their own goals, but they're also afloat in this alternate world. There are some great moments here - Damian and Helena bonding over their semi-sibling relationship, and the banter and interplay betw...
I was just saying to a friend the other day how so many of DC's New 52 books, or really any reboot or re-imagining of an existing series, tended to lose interest and originality after the initial few issues (or trade collection). It's as though they had great ideas but couldn't sustain them over time (even as short a time as a year). Happily, World's Finest is one of the exceptions to that rule. This collection (of issues #6-12) may not be quite up to par of the first volume (we'll get to that i...
I got this book hoping there would be a step up from volume 1, sadly it wasn't. It was a very forgettable story that left me confused on many levels. Switching from scene to scene without really explaining what the hell is going on. The flash backs were alright but were done in a way that was also so confusing. Paul Levitz needs to step up his writing game. As for the main characters I can say I'm only interested in Huntress. I was never familiar with Power Girl pre reboot, but now she just come...
This is a good book that's doing things slow, steady and genuinely. The relationships, the uber-villain, the way this pair makes their way through the world with their respective skills.I like the exploration of how these heroes are still trying to fit into this slightly-altered universe. Makes them seem a little more relatable, that not everything comes as easily to them as combat.I really like the hints at their former lives, and that they're a little skittish to confront the shadows of those
