Mangual   ⋅  Editors:  Wil Moss  ⋅  Continued from  Rebirth, part III . We start with the two going out to Tokyo bay, discussing possible Darkseid influence - something that Kara seems to be obsessed with. With the now kaiju villain attacking ships the two split up, with Huntress helping to rescue sailors in the water whilst Power Girl starts by stopping an oil leak from a tanker. Trying to lift it causes it to break, so she resorts to using her laser eyes to burn away the oil. We then flashback to their meetup in Rome, set up in last issue's London visit. Kara has her plan to get experts to work for her, buying a small Micronesian island for her business (all of which we've already seen). Overhe

Mangual   ⋅  Editors:  Wil Moss  ⋅  Continued from Rebirth, part II .  We picked up from part 2 with Huntress having to protect Power Girl from the nuclear creature, using her athletics and crossbow to dodge around until Kara has recovered enough to grab the villain. Huntress then puts a crossbow bolt into the cooling pipes dumping radioactive water on top of them. Power Girl then does what all good Kryptonians do and yeets him away from the nuclear reactor. We also have some really good banter between the two characters, mostly about how invulnerable Power Girl is to just about everything. We then get another flashback to the early days on Earth prime, this time in London where they rightly complain abo

So Huntress just steps up and just shoots him in the head, he flees and the women chase after him. We get another five-year flashback, to them burning their costumes. Then a skip to a few months later and Kara not being happy to be on Earth 0, wanting to just do something rather than just sitting around and gathering intel. We then flash to the near now where Karan Starr is running her business in Micronesia, showing that she is a capable businesswoman and smarter than she often lets on. She then di

Mangual ⋅ Editors: Wil Moss ⋅    Whilst I was planning to cover the New 52 this week, I thought it only fair to skip from the earliest comics to cover this issue. The reason being sadly the death of George Pérez this previous weekend (6th May 2022). From all I've heard Mr.  Pérez was a lovely man who really seemed to enjoy comic books and their fans. I don't think my word could ever do the man justice, but I'd like to dedicate this to his memory.
