  CRISIS ON NEW GENESIS or WHERE HAVE ALL THE NEW GODS GONE?JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #183 Published:   10th July 1980 Cover Date:  October 1980 Cover Artists:   Jim Starlin Writer:  Gerry Conway Penciler:  Dick Dillin Inker:   Frank McLaughlin Colourist:   Gene D'Angelo Letterer:   Ben Oda Editors:   Len Wein Introduction Everything these days has to be a massive crossover with the entire Multiverse in crisis, whilst in the 70s and 80s you got these (relative) low-key events where two or more teams just teamed up over both of their comics. Which I guess is weird as this involves New Genesis and Apokolips, y'know the New Gods that you'd figure would want, no need, to be in a big massive story. But somehow for me, these kinda stories have a bigger appeal, probably because right now there's a little bit of event fatigue. Synopsis We start, as with all these crossovers with the standard one-page explanation of how the JLA are from Earth-1 and the JSA on Earth-2, and becaus

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

These kinds of posts all worry me, normally with The End plastered over everything! So we'll go for the much clearer we're moving. After some of the trouble, I had trouble getting a blogger to do some of what I wanted I've decided to set up a WordPress site that allows me a little more control, even allowing just the look I've been looking for all this time! So come join me at symbol-pending.com !

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 youd 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, Also his mom is also still ge

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 especially as by th
