Not that I know what's in there - I really must check Previews.<br /><br />Dave, I wonder if that back-up has been lying around in an inventory draw for ages. That might explain why the attitudes of the characters are so off. Well, a little, at least.<br /><br />I wish DC would just change the name of this book to World's Finest - I can't stand the title-free covers. And then we can have some fun stories with our heroes turning into cavemen, fighting El Monstro and arguing with the Super Sons.

The modern Huntress has never been a favorite of mine at the best of times and yet this story isn't all that out of character for her I suppose, just very exaggerated.<br /><br />Overall it was An Okay issue, more of a filler really. That's becoming a bit of a worry for Superman/Batman and I do feel it's in a bit of a rut, it needs a bit more momentum instead of feeling like it's marking time. <br />Nontheless it remains a favorite as these two characters a unique combination and it really does feel like the old Worlds Finest book I still reread occasionally! You can get some terrific stories out of this combination and Joe Kelly here makes me extremely sad that he isn't asked back to the Superman titles for a second run - If anyone could rescue Superman right now he'd be the one.Dave Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-34009072482090816982010-11-23T13:06:32.177+00:002010-11-23T13:06:32.177+00:00Wow, this issue was such a load of crap... didn...Wow, this issue was such a load of crap... didn't like it at all, please pull the plug from this particular book...MaGnUshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351888054411049033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-75898559475888725212010-11-22T23:45:37.667+00:002010-11-22T23:45:37.667+00:00Ah, Jennifer, you're brilliant - why didn'...Ah, Jennifer, you're brilliant - why didn't I see that? That has to be what was meant ... a wee note of optimism to end on. Thank you so much!<br /><br />But yes, the story's still a headscratcher - Power Girl made peace with her dual world angst awhile back, while Helena B was never Helena W, as I understand it. <br /><br />Oh, I do wish the Crisis on Infinite Earths hadn't tried to integrate Earths one and two - separate but equal would have been fine.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-50348064397985526922010-11-22T23:38:37.972+00:002010-11-22T23:38:37.972+00:00The last line of the PG/Huntress short stopped me ...The last line of the PG/Huntress short stopped me dead as well, but I believe it doesn't mean "They're going to fail at getting the kid home." I think there should have been an lettering emphasis on "they," like "You'll get home again." "Even though <i>they</i> never will," meaning Peej and Helena.<br /><br />Which is...also very depressing, mind you. Really weird choice, sticking those two stories together. I definitely agree with the last line of your assessment. :PJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923745480765984429noreply@blogger.com
