Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Anthony Marques / Mike Cotton / Eddie Berganza Continued from  Worlds' Finest #10 . We start by picking up on Huntress following up on the Apocalypse Weapon Pee Gee picked up on her African adventures, investigating a weapon's warehouse in Mali. She kidnaps one of those involved in the arms trade tying him up and apparently interrogating him, though we don't see any of that. Apparently, some of that stolen Wayne money has ended up here, because now we're putting all the storylines together. Kara however is in her civilian identity as Karen Starr attending a business conference in Las Vegas, along with her long-suffering assistant Somy...

Some Things You Can Change, Some You Can't... Worlds' Finest #10 Cover Date: May 2013 Released: 6th March 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  Kevin Maguire ⋅  Inker:  Kevin Maguire ⋅ Colourists:  Rosemary Cheetham ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Anthony Marques / Mike Cotton / Eddie Berganza Continued from  Worlds' Finest #9 We start with Helena investigating Michael Holt, aka Mr. Terrefic, Pee Gee is investigating one of his Silicon Valley laboratories by tunneling underneath the ground and setting up a mini earthquake. It's funny to me as I've been reading old Supergirl comics and when she was still a secret she was always tunneling underground! Being a little irked at the raid on her island she is also here to cause a lot of property damage. Kara may have been a little too keen on the Earthquake as it causes an earthquake and fissure in the nearby area. Despite the desire to cause damage, she's still a hero at heart s...

Raid Worlds' Finest #9 Cover Date: April 2013 Released: 6th February 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Yildiray Cinar ⋅  Inker:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Yildiray Cinar /               Phil Jimenez ⋅ Colourists:  Hi-Fi Design ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Anthony Marques / Mike Cotton / Eddie Berganza Continued from Worlds' Finest #8 . This episode is about a raid on Starr Island, it's not really more complicated than that. Though that doesn't make it a bad comic. We literally start with our high-tech raiders breaking into Kara's island offices. Still recovering is Helana who straight away suits up to stop the attack, whilst one of her arms is still in a cast. She has some success with the raiders, taking one down straight away before hiding from their hi-tech rifles. We also get Somya, Kara's long-suffering assistant, showing up and also defend ...

Hunt and Be Hunted Worlds' Finest #8 Cover Date: March 2013 Released: 9th January 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Cliff Richards ⋅  Inker:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Cliff Richards ⋅ Colourists:  Hi-Fi Design / Rosemary Cheetham ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Wil Moss Continued from  Worlds' Finest #7 . This is another two-headed issue, with half the story being about Helena and half about Kara, though the stories are linked together into a single narrative. Basically, someone has put a bounty on Huntresses, due to issues in her previous solo title, being the '10 it's also very based around a "rouge" Middle Eastern nation, this time the fictional country of Kufra. It's not the most egregious of depictions, but it's still a product of its time. And boy do I feel old talking about the 2010s being something to look back upon! We start with Huntress in New York being attacked by two a...

Family Matters, part 2 Worlds' Finest #7 Cover Date: February 2013 Released: 5th December 2012 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  Kevin Maguire / George Pérez ⋅  Inker:  Kevin Maguire / Sandra Hope / George Pérez ⋅ Colourists:  Rosemary Cheetham / Hi-Fi Design ⋅ Letterer:   Dezi Sienty ⋅ Editors:   Wil Moss Continued from  Worlds' Finest #6 . As we in the real world meet a new Helena (In Goldern Age #1), I get to read the last one meeting our current Damian (how he remembers all this, what with hypertime and all is a question for you good reader). The conversation happened off screen and then we start with Pee Gee taking the two Waynes to investigate two sites where the possible transfers were coming from. We cut between Robin and Huntress's investigation of one site in snowy, possibly European climes, whiles Pee Gee goes off to, in an inversion of the normal a named African country (The Republic of the Congo). Even though the Congo is t...

Family Matters Worlds' Finest #6 Cover Date: Janurary 2013 Released: 7th November 2012 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  Kevin Maguire / George Pérez ⋅  Inker:  Kevin Maguire / Sandra Hope ⋅ Colourists:  Rosemary Cheetham / Hi-Fi Design ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Wil Moss Continued from  Worlds' Finest #5 . If you've been following me for a whilst, first thank you, but you'll know that I'm generally not a fan of overly fighty issues. Not only do I find the combats boring, however well they're drawn, but they're also really difficult to spin out into anything interesting to blog. This one, or half the issue at least, is mostly fighting but it works (for me) is because the fight is personal and has some personal history (for half of the fighters at least). Helena is in GOtham to top up the cash she needs from her not!father (Bruce Wayne), when she's interrupted by Daimen Wayne (Robin) who's been noticing money going miss...

  Three Midnights, Far From Home Worlds' Finest #5 Cover Date: December 2012 Released: 3rd October 2012 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  George Pérez / Jerry Ordway / Wes Craig ⋅  Inker:  Scott Koblish / José Luis García-López /               Serge LaPointe ⋅ Colourists:  Hi-Fi Design ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Wil Moss Continued from  Worlds' Finest #0 . We're back to Worlds' Finest in time for what amounts to a filler episode, not that it's not a problem; it's actually a nice change of pace from the continuity-heavy comics I've been neck-deep in recently. The story is told in two parts, one for Pee Gee, and the other for Huntress. First, we get a setup story with Pee Gee testing the limits of her powers on this Earth, implying the previous encounter with the radioactive villain might have had some effect on her.  We also get gratuitous costume destruction, one of two...
