Palmiotti, Gray, and Conner did the impossible…
August 20th, 2009 by david brothers | Tags: amanda conner, DC comics, graymiotti, jimmy palmiotti, justin gray, power girlThey turned me into a Power Girl fan.
From Power Girl #4, words by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti, pictures by Amanda Conner, colors by Paul Mounts. Headbutt: heard round the world.
I’ll have something smarter on this later, but I’m wonderfully feverish and sick lately. I just wanted to put this out there, because it’s an amazing book. I’m working on a Thing in the background, something I think would tie into a look at Power Girl very nicely, but for now, I’ll just have to tease.
And sneeze.
The PG book still doesn’t impress me really. But if they were to start a Supergirl ongoing featuring the puppy and kitten Krypto and Streaky I’d be interested in that…

I didn’t like it at first, but the last two issues with cranky Aquaman made me an instant fan… so much so that I’ll probably go seek out Power Girl, which I overlooked/dismissed entirely.
by Justin August 21st, 2009 at 09:12 --reply@Justin: Yeah, I’m a big fan of that one, too. It’s the kind of comics we should see more of, rather than continuity-heavy blood’n’guts. The market gets what the market wants, though.

by Illvillainy August 21st, 2009 at 13:02 --replyI think Power Girl is pretty good too, David.
by Dane August 22nd, 2009 at 07:40 --replyI quite honesty can’t say no to anything involving Amanda Conner’s sweet, funny and detailed artwork. She’s one of my top five favorite artists for just her facial expressions alone. The fact that Power Girl is flying around being generally kick-ass with a grouchy cat and a charmingly naive sidekick just adds icing to the artwork cake.
