It was post-Crisis that mangled my brain, when writers such as John Byrne began insisting that they'd never be friends, as if pals can't be different. I hope the New 52 does show them as friends in more than name.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-86219546968902950042012-06-09T17:08:05.549+01:002012-06-09T17:08:05.549+01:00New Helena feels like the same character, so hopef...New Helena feels like the same character, so hopefully fans of Helena B will take to Helena W.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-41170401848717852932012-06-08T23:52:16.482+01:002012-06-08T23:52:16.482+01:00Hey, have you heard...this coming September, DC ar...Hey, have you heard...this coming September, DC are bringing out Zero [O] issues of all their 52 titles, with background info on their supposed origins.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-7329817586684554782012-06-08T22:10:54.989+01:002012-06-08T22:10:54.989+01:00Splendid series...simply splendid. If only all boo...Splendid series...simply splendid. If only all books could be like this.<br />While the friendship between Superman and Batman has always seemed forced to me [very polar-opposite] these two girls are so completely natural; its like we're dropping in on old friends, listening to them talk, I love it.<br />We can forgive Perez his divine indulgences where aping the Anti-Monitor and Supergirl's pre-crisis death are concerned; his art is pure unbridled joy to behold. Ive heard some people say this second ish didnt have much plot to speak of but I disagree; we had tons of action and a sneakily flowing plot that hints and tints at a hidden menace and possibly [ if I feel it right ] an actual purpose behind Karen and Helena being stranded on Earth-2.<br />I used to like the friendship between Hel and Dinah over in the old Birds Of Prey but this relationship is so much more purposeful; a genuine friendship and an effective super-hero duo. I dont htink Ive ever enjoyed a book so much in such a long time.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-57378836247386488192012-06-08T18:15:29.306+01:002012-06-08T18:15:29.306+01:00I see the Anti-Monitor in Hakkou's silhouette,...I see the Anti-Monitor in Hakkou's silhouette, too. <br /><br />And I remember that one of the things fans of the original <i>Birds of Prey</i> lament is that the new series doesn't focus on friendship between women like the old one did. <i>Worlds' Finest</i> seems to be picking up the slack. (Of course, <i>BoP</i> fans may still resent the replacement of Helena Bertinelli, but that's another story.)Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331286524477806963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-55915217583398299992012-06-08T11:54:15.825+01:002012-06-08T11:54:15.825+01:00I am, in fact, the Earth C you, Anj ...

My review is up this morning and I also picked up on the Crisis vibe including a different scan of that scene to compare.<br /><br />I love the friendship of these two because it feels so natural. And it seems more realistic than a Superman/Batman friendship because I don't think these two are as set in stone in their ways. There is some wiggle room.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-59947347268356703452012-06-08T04:03:49.775+01:002012-06-08T04:03:49.775+01:00*Sigh* My issue didn't come in this week.
