An assortment of villains based on the elements of the earth has been attacking Power Girl. Kara knows that these assaults are clearly not coincidence. So what does she do? Why, go out for drinks with her girlfriends at a local singles bar!
This isn't the sort of thing Blue Beetle or Booster Gold, stars of two similar series of the time period, would be doing. For mid-1980s DC, the dialogue for all three examples were bad. But you didn't have the guys going for drinks and discussing their feelings.
Yeah, there's some sexism showing. As a big fan of Supergirl (to which Power Girl is a version of the character), I am quite disappointed. I obtained all 4 issues of this miniseries for free on Facebook. I was really looking forward to this thinking is was going to be full of action and adventure. Instead, this miniseries has turned into a precursor to Sex and the City only without the breasts of Kim Cattrall. It's been such a disappointment.
Uh, the lack of action not breasts I mean.
I should be thankful. I didn't spend any money on it. And the Rick Hoberg art still has been amazing. But this issue has gotten worse because of the coloring.
There's a detective whose helping Power Girl figure out who these villains are. Last issue he looked liked an African American male. In this issue, his skin tone is much lighter and his hair is now sky blue. Maybe in 1988 this print error wasn't as noticeable as about a month or so amount of time passed into between the release of issues 1 and 2. I went from finishing issue #1 to starting up the second issue in like 30 seconds flat. So I noticed...
Not Worth Consuming!
Rating: 3 out of 10 stars.
