Rebirth is a strange thing!* The New 52 was, in and of itself, not a terrible idea, a complete reboot to allow new tales with new versions of the same characters. The success of Marvel's Ultimate Universe and DC's Absolute shows just that. The problem was that it was rushed, and no plans were made as to how the new universe works, what was to be kept and what was completely new. And as usual, Batman wasn't rebooted, Batman is never rebooted! So after only five years** DC gave up and gave us Rebirth, and kind of smooshing together of old and new continuity. With this Silver Age wackiness, with a little Bronze Age social consciousness began to leak back into the universe. Both the much-loved*** Woman and Tomorrow and the current Supergirl run lean heavily on this balance of Silver / Bronze boundary, with WoT going more Bronze and Supergirl Silver.  You may ask why I'm waffling about everything but Rebirth itself, well there's not much to tell.

New 52 (2011-2016) Now we get to the interesting stuff! With Earth-2** still being a thing, this version of Power Girl can t...

    JANUARY 2020 6th NOVEMBER 2019 HARLEY QUINN, Volume 3 #67 CRISIS KILLER (YEAR OF THE VILLAIN) Travel between Crisises as a metaphor for dealing with the loss of a family member, and how "reality" doesn't always match up to fantasy? Well that, apparently is Harley Quinn! Side-stepping the current event, Harley instead gets to finish Crisis on Infinite Earths early to earn a recreation of that classic JLA/JSA Thanksgiving cover. And to finish as we started all Power Girl gets is a non-speaking cameo, though this time there are actually two of them! Power Girl Hair Length - To Neck Line
