Worlds’ Finest: Huntress/Power Girl #19 review

Power Girl has two big problems: her powers are switching off at random times, and her tech company’s been stolen from her. As this issue opens, Karen is tackling the second of those issues by diamond hunting at the bottom of the ocean, getting the funds to pay lawyers to win Starr Industries back. As […]

Worlds’ Finest: Huntress and Power Girl #12 review

I’ve kissed some frogs in my time, but I’ve never kissed one of Darkseid’s lackeys. Power Girl can’t say the same, as this issue opens with her locking lips with Desaad, Earth-stranded Apokoliptian. She’s at a party in her other identity of Karen Starr, he’s impersonating Michael Holt, aka ex-boyfriend Mr Terrific. Unsurprisingly, a fight […]

World’s Finest #6 review

If the Batman’s daughter Huntress is smart enough to steal millions from Bruce Wayne, is it surprising that Batman’s son Robin can catch her out? Helena is appalled that this little snot is wearing ‘her’ colours and using ‘her’ name, whereas Damian is wondering why her fighting style is so familiar. Away from Gotham, Power […]

World’s Finest #0 review

In the first issue of Earth 2 we saw how Supergirl and Robin were bumped from their own world to Earth 1, where they refashioned themselves into Power Girl and the Huntress. Here, as part of DC’s zero month, we see their earliest days as crimefighters, and how they met. I enjoyed this from beginning to end, […]

Worlds’ Finest #2 review

In the present, Huntress and Power Girl, refugees from Earth 2, battle radioactive man Hakkou in Japan. They don’t know what he wants, but suspect he has connections to Apokolips. In the past, the heroines put together their new lives on Earth 1, as they conclude that the Darkseid sent packing by the Justice League […]

And when the dust clears, the only heroes around to welcome a new dawn are Robin and Supergirl. And them not for long … … five years […]

Birds of Prey #12 review

There’s a new crime lord in Gotham and he’s hiring. He’s taking on a pair of twisted sisters by the name of Trissa and Somnia. Before they meet the big man, though, they accompany his lieutenant, Mr Tripe, to a meeting with blonde bombshell Miss Hargison, a helpless beauty who wants him to bury her […]

Birds of Prey #11 review

Action! Romance! Leaky bowels … this one has it all. As a good Catholic girl, the Huntress is attracted to bad boys. And one in particular, Catman, who shows up just as she’s chasing down a gang who have captured a hostage with medical problems. Will he help Huntress, or take the side of the […]

Joker joins technological terrorists the Silicon Syndicate, new girl Infinity begins to integrate with the Birds and Charlie goes to school in the pleasingly titled ‘Bring on the Bad Guys (if you’re young, that was the name of Stan Lee’s Marvel villains book in the Seventies). The Joker is massively overexposed across the DC Universe, […]

This issue sees the return of Black Canary to the book, after she was dragged away by the JLA and Green Arrow editorial offices and stripped of the dimensions she’d gained under writers Chuck Dixon and Gail Simone. It’s a temporary, yet triumphant, return, with a nice cover appearance – courtesy of Stephane Roux – […]
