    Worlds’ Finest #4 Review

    Worlds’ Finest #4 Review

    Overview:

    Power Girl and Huntress finish off Hakkou.

    The Good:

    The story was good and there was only one flashback! The relative lack of flashbacks was a good thing and a bad thing at the same time, it was good because the story moved on, this fight lasted for four issues and really could have been summed up in two or three but it all worked out in the end.

    The writing by Paul Levitz was good; the dialogue was the high point of this story arc. In particular the flashback scenes; Levitz has a really good handle on the friendship of these two characters and it shines through in them. The present day scenes’ dialogue is mostly filled with communication between the two as they coordinate the fight. The dynamic between them is good and has been getting better and better as the series progresses.

    The art was really good as well, the present day scenes were done by George Perez and Scott Koblish and they are very detailed and expressive and it really adds to the fight and fits well. The flash back was done by Kevin Maguire and colored by Rosemary Cheetham and fit perfectly with the more light-hearted atmosphere by being brighter and dome in a more simple style.

    There is a part where a man tries to backhand Power Girl and breaks his hand, which brings up a good point: if a human punched or kicked a Kryptonian, would they break bones or just be stopped? I really can’t think of a time when Superman has been attacked by someone nor using a weapon, which is usually broken or otherwise useless. Food for thought.

    The Bad:

    Nothing much, the way the fight ended was a little vague and not the strongest ending but since the story is moving on, I don’t really care.

    Verdict:

    The boob window returned for better or worse but I doubt it is staying (though with a theme of Power Girl’s poor impulse control it is only 55/45 that it will go). This first arc was a good introduction but it was slow and now that it is over hopefully the series will cut back on the flashbacks but keep the dynamic they have. Either way is good though. So far this series has been consistent and a solid read for any fan of the characters.

      This series hasn't been doing a lot so far IMO and I can't believe this has came out the good Huntress series and the brilliant Earth 2 series.What I liked about this issue is the art it's very good art although I proffered the art on Huntress this art is still very good. I also like the panel's when the gangsters think Huntress is a easy target then next panel you just see her sitting on a pile of people continuing to eat her ice cream . Although so far I haven't been majorly fond of this serie...

      THE GOOD: I really like Kevin Kaguire's artwork. I like the facial expressions the most. They just add a lot of the characters. He also does amazing backgrounds. George Perez is penciling the present part of the issues. I like what he is doing. There are some really cool panels that he drew. The story is still revolving around Hakkou invading Tokyo. Now he is in the bay and is attacking the ships that were there. I really like how Paul Levitz is balancing action with character moments. I really ...
