Great Power Girl Moments #8 — Mister Terrific #1, p.25
This particular great Power Girl moment displays so amazingly a frustrated Power Girl/Karen Starr, caught in a web of high social drama. From Mister Terrific #1, Karen is at a fundraising party for a presidential candidate, held at the Conscientia Institute – a division of Holt Industries. Michael Holt/Mr. Terrific had invited Karen to join him there. For those less knowledgeable about the larger social situation (see Mister Terrific #1-8 and World’s Finest #1), Karen had … Read entire article »

Power Girl in The New 52
Where does Power Girl fit into DC Comic’s New 52? I, like many others, have been a bit mystified as to what The New 52 is all about and where Power Girl might fit into the larger picture. Well, I was at my local comic book shop this weekend and got the latest scoop from my fellow readers, and now everything is making a whole lot more sense.

Review of Superman #714
Well, I picked up Superman #714 the final issue of the Straczynski’s Ground series and it ended surprisingly really well. The issue is quite dense in so far as packing a lot in one issue, but not so dense that it hinders a good flow of the story. And it ended in a way that I was completely not expecting. Honestly, I really thought that with this issue, that Superman would hang up his suit for … Read entire article »

Meanings of The New 52
As many of you may know, DC Comics has made a marketing choice to reset all of it’s comics to be number ones, drop a bunch of titles in the process, shockingly including Power Girl, and start up a bunch of new titles in the process, too.

Action vs. Character Development in the New 52
May 1st, 2012 | Comments Off on Action vs. Character Development in the New 52
One of the things standing out greatly to me in the New 52 titles I have followed, and in comics generally, is the interesting approach of either having tons of superficial battle scenes or a race to save the day, OR some really interesting character development. Strangely, Straczynski’s Superman Grounded series is what really got me first started reading comic books in a serious way due to it’s vivid and far-reaching character exploration.
