3.0

So finally finished this one. Not that I didn't like it but just hadn't gotten chance to come back to it after reading first two issues for about two weeks.

Now that you know about my personal life and don't care, let's move on to the review!

Power Girl is doing a best to keeping her city safe. As a big bust version of Supergirl with a charming personally she's about to take on a great evil mad scientist sexist gorilla. Then, after that, she tries to take down a visitor from space, a sexy group of half naked chicks, all while teaching the new Terra how to use her powers to safe people. Sounds stupid? Well...not really!

Good: The fights are pretty grand and epic and really fun. The art in general is really cartoony and just a joy to view. The dialogue can balance some really fun moments and some good heroic moments as well. I like the relationship of mentor A LOT here and want more of it. The daily lifestyle of Powergirl is upbeat and fun!

Bad: The storyline is goofy and so it feels like no stakes, and so it can be a breezy read but sometimes empty. Also, there is TOO much talking sometimes. Just endless amounts, I almost thought was reading a Spider-man comic for a moment. I also thought the villain was meh.

Overall, pretty fun. I didn't love it like some here but I did have fun reading it. I probably read volume 2 because of how carefree and charming the series is. A 3 out of 5.
