You really understand why the author was let go from this book series after this edition. It was so tongue in cheek that it was quite painful to read.

A delightfully fun romp by the team of Connor, Grey and Palmiotti. I can not think of anyone anywhere who would have done such and enjoyable spoof of both Sean Connery and Zardoz (possibly one of the worst movies ever). In addition, they do something few other creative teams have and give Kara a personality. She remains the sex bomb who often rather hit first and ask questions later. Here though they give her some depth, as an example seeking psychiatric help for a villain instead of pounding hi...

I didn't think "Power Girl: Aliens and Apes" (volume 2) was better than "Power Girl: A New Beginning" (volume 1). There just seemed to be a little more drama in the story than action. Volume 1 had a lot of epic action in it, and volume 2 seemed to be a little more dramatic. Power Girl was faced with the romancing of Vartox the Hyper-Man, and fought against Satanna, who was bent on revenge. That's pretty much all that happened. It just needed a little more earth-shattering action. But I'll still

Lighthearted superhero fare with a sharp wit and tongue-in-cheek sense of itself.

A friend gave this to me a while back. While I have little interest in Power Girl, there's almost no reason not to read anything drawn by Amanda Conner. And the art's great here, no doubt.Story's pretty solid too, actually. Quirky, fun, tongue-in-cheek - I really wish there were more superhero comics with this tone. The scripts weren't anything to write home about, but they entertained, and if I cared a whit about Power Girl, I'd buy more of this run.

Tucked away behind all the events based around 40 years of continuity that seem to run mainstream comics these days, there have been a few lonely titles out there that pretty much make their own way in the world and end up being really strong. The recent (and soon to return) Incredible Hercules, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle are just a few. Power Girl definitely belongs on that list. While it has a lot of the wacky whimsy that still make golden age books fun, it's fully up to date with character...

It’s the breast superhero DC have, the character who should probably be called Boob Window Girl after what everyone really remembers her for: Kara Zor-L aka Powah Girl! Let’s just address the two big elephants in the room right now: her spectacular chesticles. Or really her entire look which screams porn star and/or female superhero parody: the EE cups and her killer bod combined with that revealing onesie that includes the iconic boob window and the barely-concealed crotch and bum. Yeah, she’s

Ok, this one was way over the top. A half naked man appears to "mate with" Power Girl. His planet needs to reproduce. He has picked Power Girl as the perfect "mate" to help re... hmm reproduce might not be the correct word. Something like that. He arrives in a giant spaceship in the shape of his own head. He fires guns with his scent to overpower his targets senses. He unleashes an invincible enemy creature that required many many superwarriors, maybe a whole galaxy worth, to contain it. To show...

The humor of this series is what helps propel it, as the Power Girl history is filled with a menagerie of unknowns. Aside from the Ultra-Humanite - who received a much different treatment in the animated Justice League series - most of PG's cast and foes are unknown. While I admire Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmotti for not shying away from jokes based on her "assets," the threats and serious portions are still lacking. Luckily I have Wikiedia to help me with Satanna and the latest Terra, or else I

So good. They really do everything so well, from the big superhero fights to the small human moments.

I love this tone of this series, it's just so fun.Yes Power Girl has very unique features and it's the first thing people see when they see the character. But she's more than looks and under the wonderful guidance of this creative team she is a wonderfully fresh and fun character to read.World: The art is absolutely wonderful, Palmiotti/Conner is quickly becoming one of my favorite teams. The expressions, the framing, the colors and backgrounds it all so beautiful and full of life and character

This book is a helluva lot of fun. PG gets mixed up with a space-born lothario who needs to repopulate his planet, and found PG was his ideal candidate. The action is ridiculous, the dialogue is over the top and the interactions are so down-to-earth silly and low-tension - it's just the most playful ride I've had since discovering Atomic Robo. I grew to actually like the sleazy emperor of a remote planet who cop's with anyone he likes, and is just oblivious to reasons why a self-determined femal...

I read the first volume of this series a few weeks ago and had been looking forward to getting back for some more of Power Girl's adventures. Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti continue to write the series and have Power Girl and her sidekick Terra face off against Satanna and Ultra-Humanite in a continuation of the story from the first volume. They also bring Vartox, a character created in the 1970's to look like Sean Connery from the movie Zardoz, into the story as he tries to get Power Girl to m...

I tell ya, these Power Girl stories just keep throwing me for a loop. Just when I think I'm in for a harmless little romp full of silliness and misunderstandings....BAM! Decapitation! Or when I’m so certain that PG is going to let the villain off with yet another stern warning that I preemptively start rolling my eyes....ZAP! Dismemberment! Not being able to pin down the tone and direction is part of the fun. And this volume is a lot of fun.For those who are unwilling to read a Power Girl comic

I have just read Terra and then went back and read the first volume of Power Girl, Vol. 1: A New Beginning prior to this. This continues the theme with great action scenes, wonderful character interaction between PG and Terra and the gorgeous art of Amanda Conner. I really can't emphasise enough how great her artwork is. She nails characters and particularly facial expressions injecting life into even the smallest scenes. There's always something going on and I think some of the most enjoyable s...

I own volumes 1-3 of this series and would own 4 and on if they weren't so rare and expensive.Totally a fun light read, lots of humor and of course power girl is drawn beautifully. Because of these books I have a real interest in tracking her down in other dc stories... anyone recommend any good volumes or books she appears in a big way?

This same review will appear for both Volumes 1 and 2. Both were written by the same duo and drawn by the same artist. They’re highly complimentary to each other, not telling many particularly deep long stories, but issues referenced each other and the approach to comics storytelling is solid across the entire run.Power Girl is a delight. It’d have to be to get any non-pig to admit he loved reading a book about a bulletproof blonde with huge boobs. Even the cover art embarrasses you in front of

Fantastic. Utterly fantastic. This is one of the warmest, most upbeat, least cynical titles I've read in...well...since Owly, Vol. 1: The Way Home & The Bittersweet Summer! Even better, it involves an extended parody of "Zardoz", complete with a character who looks suspiciously like Sean Connery flying around in a giant head-ship.

An actual comic that manages to balance 'good girl' art and really good writing.I know what you are thinking: No way! That's as rare as an honest politician!', but this comic does it.The writers scrape all the angst from Power Girl and just concentrate on fun, larger than life super heroes stories, with the occasional message, nice little character bits, actually funny humor that doesn't hurt the story and a real sense of fun.I love Power girls sidekick, Terra and Vartox, the 70's sci-fi adventu...
