Frog men from the center of the Earth - All-Star Comics 67




 

Attack of the Underlord

All-Star Comics #67
Cover Dated: July / August 1977 
Released: 26th April 1977

Holy retcon Power Girl! Instead of just falling into a pit it seems the three, Power girl, Starman and Wildcat, get dragged down the pit though Power Girl says it was her idea before using one of those cool cloak clasps to call for help.

We get some classic bickering between Kara and Wildcat before she just goes all-in and starts beating up the little green aliens, even having a good go at the big bad before the to men get in the way and getting them all knockout.

Fate has a quick aside to chastise Bruce for giving up the hero business to be the Commissioner. Its also laying the groundwork that some of the JSA have been acting out of characters, more plot for the future.

Whilst the Flash and Hawkman just get themselves almost instantly captured. Power Girl, rightly really, get all pissed that everyone gets upset that she bought everyone down the pit and getting them capture. Angry enough to smash out of the metal prison they were in to go round two with the next big bad.

Star-spangled Kid (who I may have called Starman once or twice) and Wildcat decide to help Power Girl, whilst Flash and Hawkman decide (briefly thankfully) to let her stuffer her own fate. Power Girl was apparently evenly matched with the big bad and it looks like she's about to lose when the other two show up to help, with Star-spangled Kid thrown away apparently this death. It's the final straw and Kara loses it to finally defeat the big bad. Before breaking down at the apparent loss of her teammate, finally showing that she genuinely cares about the others.

Hey maybe they'll all start working together as a team!

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...

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...
