What you need to know: Power
Girl has a murder mystery to solve, but she’s got some particularly
talented friends in the detecting business. Enter: Batman!

What you’ll love

Humor: Judd Winick is not known for his comedy but maybe he should be,Winick makes good use of comedic timing and sarcasm. Like most things Winick his comedy is very underrated.

Batman: I’m
not a fan of guest appearances. I can’t tell you how many times a guest
appearance has lured me into buying a book,only to find that the guest
wasn’t needed, or worse yet the writer didn’t have a handle on the
character. Not the case here, Winick has Dick Grayson’s Batman down. He
also summed up the difference between Bruce’s Batman and Dicks in the
first two pages.

Set Pieces: Many
feel that Grant Morrison writes the best set pieces in comics, with
apologies to Mr. Morrison I’d submit Winick’s name into that
competition. Winick’s action scenes are generally sprawling, with Power
Girl Battling her enemies for what is literally miles. At the same time
each fight is intense, almost intimate.

Character: Winnick makes Power Girl, strong, smart, sexy, sarcastic and resilient, but most of all he makes her likable.

Art: Words cant describe how much I love Sami Basri’s art. It’s like reading the Power Girl animated series. It’s just beautiful.

What you won’t

Nothing: I’ve got nothing. It’s a deliciously fun book.

Bottom Line:
If you have preconceived notions about Power Girl(I did) throw them out
of the window, this book is everything a super hero comic should be.

Grade: A+
