theartolater's review against another edition

Part of reading this was a retread of sorts, as I had read a previous trade before and really enjoyed it. This is a lot of Power Girl, and, as a result, the parts that fall flat really fall flat.
When there's some fun stuff happening, it's a good time. When things get a little slow, it has a lot of Wonder Woman in it and the slogs feel even worse even when you enjoy the character.
Also, it's hard for me not to see how Power Girl's overall treatment in the New 52 is shading my look back here. I can't imagine that didn't impact my thoughts.
Overall, probably better split up than as a whole here.

Power Girl was a fun, campy read.
However-the only thing I could think about the whole time I was reading it was Kate Beaton's comic about Cloak and Dagger

This was a lot of fun and Amanda Conner's art (as always) really stands out.

This was the March book for my women's comic book club, Queens of Kings, and yes, I was a little late in finishing it. I loved it though! It's just a lot of fun and it doesn't take itself seriously. It's a little confusing at the beginning (or perhaps that's just me because I didn't know much about Power Girl going into this) but once it dispenses with trying to explain the origin story it really comes into its own. The art is fantastic, it's sexy without being exploitative and Amanda Conner just gets details right, the facial expressions are so good! Overall, it's a fun little jaunt into Power Girl's life that doesn't try to do anything more than entertain - at which it succeeds marvelously.
