review 1: Bullet Review:This was a LOT of fun to read. Power Girl is just such an upbeat superhero! Yes, there's the boob window mess, but I can ignore that when the character is not CONSTANTLY being objectified for her huge...tracts of land. (Though I thought the alternate cover art in the back of the book was rather ugly. And overly sexualized. So a double-whammy there.) I also loved how she interacted with females like Terra, and then while she did punch a lot of crap, she also was compassionate and looked out for people.This is a comic I got at the library, but that I would not be ashamed to own.
review 2: It's hard to take Power Girl seriously, since she obviously seems like a poor and lazy attempt to feminize Superman. Superman is from Krypton, and Power Girl is fr... moreom Krypton. Superman was sent off by his parents in a space ship, and Power Girl (his cousin) has also. Superman has the classic Super powers, and Power Girl has them too. Superman has super muscles, and Power Girl, well...So, with this in mind, how do you go about writing a Power Girl book? Focus on immediate danger and Power Girl's endearing tendency to use brute strength to solve her problems, tie in a big sister role she assumes with Terra, and add a cat. Voila! Power Girl doesn't bare the burdens Superman does (apparently), so why not make the stories quick and fun?Also, Amanda Conner is one of those few artists that can be enjoyed not just for how slick her art looks, but also how she's able to give a modern flare to an old-fashioned cartoon-y style. less
