Symbol Pending - A Power Girl Blog

The Past Because Pee Gee has had so few costumes it is very simple to tell when an event is meant to have happened. This is exactly what we got this year in The Golden Years and boy what a costume they choose! Boob-windowless costume As has been told many times the story of Wally Wood and the every-growing boobs is a myth (though he did obviously create her busty to start with) but he did make the boob window grow slightly each time, something that the editors realized by All-Stars #64 (the cover obviously had to be quickly covered up).  The costume only lasted five issues and was in this weird place where Pee Gee was still pretty grumpy and angry, as can be seen in the comic, not long after she get's her scalloped topped costume she spends her mini-series chilling out ready for her meeting of Huntress, but hey we've covered all this before! The only weird part of this costume used in the issue is that the villain they faced, Vulcan (who I will never not be amused by the fact t...

 Who's Who: Update '87 #4 This page is a very big deal, but not for the reasons you'd expect! About 3-4 years ago I got into podcasts in a big way, rapidly working my way through JLI and more importantly Who's Who. With so many podcast I began to wonder how easy it would be to make my own podcast (very difficult it seems). But who would I do my podcast about? Enter the Who's Who episode about this issue! Where Rob was going on about Pee Gee's weight, a common discussion about a lot of characters. The conversations basically go on about just how much her... assets. At that point I though, Power Girl must be more than just a series of massive boobs! So after checking around to see what else was out theere I decided to start the blog about Pee Gee... and the rest is history! Oh and F-cups are around 1,180g (2.6lbs) or as the internet tells me around the size of a  three-month-old Persian kitten!

Your Mother Should Know Starman #18 Cover Date: January 1990 Released: 28th November 1989 ⋅ Writers:  Roger Stern ⋅ Pencilers:  Tom Lyle ⋅  Inker:  Scott Hanna ⋅ Colourists:  Carl Gafford ⋅ Letterer:  Bob Pinaha ⋅ Editors:   Brian Augustyn / Katie Main   Continued from Starman #17. You can sometimes tell just how week-to-week this is by the stupid decisions that I make about how to handle the material, like how the last issue I completely skipped the soap opera parts of the story. The thing is those aspects make up some of the best parts of the story, though the superheroic aspects (and Power Girl) are incredibly solid as well. So to make amends for such an oversight I'll try to cover both halves of the story this time around. The first half of the soapy part is Starman's mom worrying about where William, Starman, is after being missing for almost half a day. His sister, Jayne, who knows about his secret, is trying to cover for him being missing...

Deadly Attraction Starman #17 Cover Date: December 1989 Released: 31st October 1989 ⋅ Writers:  Roger Stern ⋅ Pencilers:  Tom Lyle ⋅  Inker:  Scott Hanna ⋅ Colourists:  Carl Gafford ⋅ Letterer:  Tim Harkins ⋅ Editors:   Brian Augustyn What could be more appropriate as we barrel towards Christmas than a Star to light our way? We start with Power Girl at the Paris Embassy doing some heavy lifting of equipment, and a Wally that's actually okay! All friendly and nervous just trying to get along with Pee Gee for a change, it's a nice change of pace from the jerk Wally we normally get from the JLE. Well, that's enough of them as Kara jumps in a teleporter to o back to New York to catch a shower, unfortunately, the beam gets hijacked by someone nefarious! The said villain, one Doctor Polaris knocks Pee Gee out with a blast of energy, using these circumstances to his advantage, though I'm not sure why he plays the innocent bystander for almost a whole page e...

No More Teachers' Dirty Looks...?! Justice League Europe #6 Cover Date: September 1989 Released: 1st August 1989 ⋅ Writers:  J.M. DeMatteis / Keith Giffen ⋅ Pencilers:  Bart Sears  ⋅  Inker:  Pablo Marcos ⋅ Colourists:  Gene D'Angelo ⋅ Letterer:  Bob Lappan ⋅ Editors:   Kevin Dooley / Andrew Helfer Power Girl wasn't in issue #5, last appearing in  Justice League #4   I've mentioned several times, in different ways that filler, or breather, issues like this one can be quite fun. But also how that leaves very little to talk about. Basically, the majority of the Justice League go to a night school to learn French, as do members of the Injustice League. Slowly the Injustice boys figure out and try to leave before the JLE finds out and a brief fight breaks out before the teacher shuts the fight down and everyone gets arrested by the police. All through the story, the teacher does your usual teacher things stopping people talking, chewing gu...

Bialya Burning! Justice League Europe #4 Cover Date: July 1989 Released: 30th May 1989 ⋅ Writers:  J.M. DeMatteis / Keith Giffen ⋅ Pencilers:  Bart Sears / Keith Giffen ⋅  Inker:  Pablo Marcos ⋅ Colourists:  Gene D'Angelo ⋅ Letterer:  Albert DeGuzman ⋅ Editors:   Kevin Dooley / Andrew Helfer Continued from  Justice League Europe #3 . Normally I don't talk much about covers, I'm never sure what counts as a "good" cover, but I do appreciate how they placed the speech bubble to cover up Power Girl so Queen Bee's statement works at first glance. Of cause I can't let it pass without pointing out how few female heroes we currently have on the team! (At the moment a 100% female support staff so they have that at least!). We start by laying out everything hinted at in the last issue, that Jack O'Lantern is working for Queen Bee leader of Bialya, one of the many, many fictional Middle Eastern countries that seemed to spring up during the 80s. They a...

Another Fine Mess! Justice League Europe #3 Cover Date: June 1989 Released: 25th April 1989 ⋅ Writers:  J.M. DeMatteis / Keith Giffen ⋅ Pencilers:  Bart Sears ⋅  Inker:  Pablo Marcos ⋅ Colourists:  Gene D'Angelo ⋅ Letterer:  Albert DeGuzman ⋅ Editors:   Kevin Dooley / Andrew Helfer Continued from  Justice League Europe #2 . We start with a quick recap of the last two issues, revealing that our heroes are clued in that those they were fighting were formally part of the Global Guardians. Flash is his normal irritating self in a, which I think of a Josie and the Pussycat moment. Yeah, I know no one cool will get this, basically, one of the characters (Alexander, no really I didn't need to look it up :D ) states she is in the movie because she was in the comic book! No, really the movie is fun, go look it up! The team basically splits into three-ish groups, a bunch of them go off and do nothing so we can ignore them! Captain Atom meets a Frenchman w...
