Power Girl #24

duo_forbidden's Power Girl #24 - We Can Be Heroes, Part 1. review

Power Girl in Gotham City

Synopsis: Power Girl teams up with the original Batman to take on a metahuman who can control the weather.

What's Good?

I think Batman makes a great choice as a guest appearance. Now that Karen is reaching the spotlight with her company, I like how Batman reminded her about her growing profile. After all, he plays a dimwitted good looking billionaire. But like him, Karen is trying to make the world better with her company. As for the villain in this issue, he's not exactly a villain. He's just misunderstood. I mean, how would you feel if you were arrested because everyone assumed you were a super-powered terrorist on a plane? I rarely see this in comics since 9-11 despite how long it's been since, and that's a topic I rather avoid making personal.

I heard that Hendry Prasetya will be taking over Sami Basri's place in #27, and he's not that different form Basri's. The only difference I could find was PG's hairstyle, she's not wearing the red earrings, and her face is a little more round shaped. Either way, the artwork looks great, including with the guest appearance of Batman.

What's Bad?

Not a whole lot. My only complaint is more PG as Karen Star since she's now on the radar. As Batman stated, she starting to be a huge media attention, and I would like to see how that plays out with her being Power Girl as well. After all, she has Agent Teman on her case.

Overall: Not a bad issue. I like that Judd Winick is doing simple stories with guest appearance while giving Karen Star a chance to shine as well. Can't wait for the next issue.

  It’s a guaranteed chance that we’ve all been in the wrong place at the wrong time and as Power Gril #24 a result have been branded something that you’re not at some point in our lives. Some times they’re small occurrences that are merely awkward situations, others far more serious. One of the ones that comes to mind with me is back when I was 12 and my friends had decided to throw mud-balls at the cars that were parked next to my school. The school security cameras had caught them doing it,...

Power Girl #24. Yay so this is Power Girl's first issue working with Bruce, not Dick, and I was so excited for this issue because of that! Okay so two main stories are going on in this issue. The first one is about this Middle Eastern man from Quirac flying to see his father at a hospital. The plain starts to have engine failure and go on, but it turns out the man has weather powers and uses the wind to lift the plane up. Later the U.S. gov. feels he's a terrorist trying to kill all the people o...
