Pscyhed - All-Star Comics 68

Divided We Stand

All Star Comics #68
Cover Dated: September / October 1977 
Released: 28th June 1977

Power Girl step up! They return to their headquarters to see Dr Fate meditating, Flash takes this badly about cosmic calamities before Kara stay how they should now work as a team after the events of the previous issues.

It seems that like is a tradition, the Green Lantern has gone bad and wants a Million Dollars or he won't let aircraft land at Gotham International Airport. He seems to have major beef with the Concord, which is very on-brand for the US view of Concord back in the 70s.

Whilst the others try and help the planes, crashed and otherwise, mostly Dr Fate but also Power Girl fighting Green Lantern. We also see that Psycho-Pirate turn up to explain how he's controlling GL, before they fly away to cause more drama.

We learn that Bruce has figured something was up about the JSA, but thinks all of them as bad as each other.

We then get the confirmation that the Flash is also under control and we get a showdown with the remaining JSA. Power girl gets does badly with the Flash but Wildcat just punches out the Psycho Pirate ending the threat, for now...

And that it's for 2020, hopefully 2021 will be a lot better! New Year will be a new start with us actually getting to another comic, our first JSA /JLA Crossover.

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

Image
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...
