Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Reasons to read (and love) Power Girl: 1) It's fun! I like dark, gritty comics as much as the next reader, but sometimes I just want to enjoy a fun story. 2) Amanda Conner's art! Power Girl is a difficult character to get right. Amanda Conner strikes the right balance of tough, sexy, and fun. Her facial expressions, in particular, are amazing. 3) It's easy to understand. The DC universe is a big, confusing place. It seems like every title crosses over with every other title, and you need to know who a ton of characters are to understand the story. Power Girl: A New Beginning is accessible even if you've never read a comic before. You don't need to know the history of the DCU, or even of the character. 4) Major Bechdel test pass! This is rare in comics. Hell, it's rare in most mediums. It's sad that the Palmiotti/Gray/Conner creative team only stayed on Power Girl for 12 issues. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

With the fate of her new home hanging in the balance, can Power Girl dissuade her brilliant enemy and a trio of party-crashing, alien marauders from taking a bite out of the Big Apple? The action never stops in the city that doesn't sleep! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Book opens with Power Girl flying. Suddenly storm clouds over New York (neat they in a real city; also, what's with me suddenly finding real cities in the DC Comics books I've been reading? I'm alternating Power Girl with Manhunter; Manhunter is in Los Angeles, Power Girl is in New York). "Things", as in robots suddenly fall out of sky. Attack. Same time everyone below starts attacking each other because of "Psychic waves" or something. Meanwhile a giant albino gorrilla flies in on a spaceship, he's the one who launched the attack. Apparently he wants to put his brain into Powergirl's body.
Then there's bits about an origin story, then bits about her "secret identity" live as Karen Starr (or something like that) and her Starrweave company (again, could be wrong with name of company).
It's an interesting series. Actually much better than I expected. Though I wasn't expecting much. There were some funny little bits.
It did seem a little too overdramatic and over the top on occasion. Though some of those overly dramatic moments turned out to be dreams, but still. Wait, did they? Reading Manhunter and Power Girl back to back might have merged some stories together. ( )
