Fire, I bid you to burn - All-Star Comics #60

Vulcan: Son of Fire

All-Star Comics #60
Cover Dated : May / June 1976
Released : 17th Februrary1976

The issues starts with Power Girl and Flash have a race, with Kara pointing out that the Flash is the Fastest Man Alive in a rather cringy scene, even if Power Girl is winning right now. Apparently she's been going stir crazy, has have them all, and wants to be treated as a adult. Seems being kept as a secret by Superman has given her some issues.Wishing for some action has the normal effect as Vulcan, Son of Fire, turns up to fight the group.

Meanwhile Green Lantern is having a moment of being part of his secret identity, before Doctor Fate turns up to drag him back to the action. Vulcan meanwhile fights the rest of the group, whilst doing that thing of calling Power Girl a "female", whilst she's kicking his ass for a little balance. He set the place on fire before bailing, though it's unsure why he turned up to just to fight them before bailing.

Meanwhile Green Lantern and Doctor Fate find out the true identity of Vulcan, in a pretty good sequence, before they rush of to Gotham to fight the villain.

 This is a decent issue, but not really a good Power Girl one as she mope a little before getingbeat by Vulcan (along with everyone else to be fair).

It's the Final Countdown! (Again) - Wonder Woman #293

Countdown to Chaos Wonder Woman #293 Cover Date:  July 1982 Released:   8th April 1982 The first thing here to comment on is this is a Wonder Woman comic so it's her show, though all the other female heroes get something to do, more or less. We however start with our last female heroes to join the quest, Starfire, Wonder Girl and Raven from the Teen Titans. Raven has a major case of the premonitions so they fly off to Paradise Island to get some help from the Amazons. And like any good hero burning a message into a panel so the boys know where they have gone! The one thing that really strikes me looked back is just how tiny Starfires costumes is, more or less a sparkly bikini, especially the back which for some reason we see a lot in this issue. I've nothing against skimpy costumes now and again, but with almost everyone being more dressed and the cheesecake on how it's drawn it really stands out here. Anyway Korri and Donna go to help stop the final horseman on another Ea

The Survivors Infinite Crisis #2 Cover Date:  January 2006 Released:  9th November 2005 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez   ⋅  ⋅  Inkers:  Many Hands  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox / Guy Major  ⋅  ⋅  Letterers:  Nick J. Napolitano  ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine Schaefer /     Eddie Berganza  ⋅ So I'd like to say that this was planned, what with (as of writing) we're halfway through the most recent Crisis, Dark Crisis (of Infinite Earths), but basically the JSA comics heavily rely on this crossover, so we're bringing this one forward! To sum up issue 1 the DC universe is falling into chaos, the Trinity (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) are fighting over recent actions, including Wonder Woman killing Maxwell Lord live on television.  Watching from their crystal world the Earth-2 Superman and Superboy-Prime (last seen from Crisis on Infinite Earths) are dismayed at how the heroes are handling their universe, so punching the crystal wall Superman frees himself t

Showcase #97 - Power Girl

POWER GIRL* SHOWCASE #97 *The issue's story is unnamed. Published: 15th November 1977 Cover Date: February 1978 Cover Artists: Joe Staton / Joe Orlando Writer: Paul Levitz Penciler: Joe Staton Inker: Joe Orlando Colourist: Jerry Serpe Letterer: Ben Oda Editors:   Joe Orlando Introduction So this is a little bit of a soft reboot, a DC tradition in itself, I wanted a chance to cover some of the original comics (my original content being terrible) as well as look at a wider range of comics. It's a chance to catch some of those comics in a blank spot I have in the mid-90s. But where to start? I've covered her original appearance in All-Star Comic #58 several times already, so we're best than the comics that told Power Girls' origins, only two years after she was first introduced. And as is appropriate to my soft reboot Showcase is also a soft reboot of Power Girl, making her if not softer at least a more rounded character. It's also more relevant than ever, in m
