PG gets mixed up with a space-born lothario who needs to repopulate his planet, and found PG was his ideal candidate. The second half of this collection continues to have a helluva lot of fun. Are G/P usually this good, or just when they're working with great artistic talent? Hell, even the colourist is brilliant - lovingly makes all the figures and scenery just pop. There's villains and space aliens and corporate science research and cat-bathing.all the usual silliness to enjoy, none of the frowny-faced brutality or brooding grit. Why aren't there more books like this, Robo and Hawkguy? I *try* to get into that shit, but I just feel so relaxed reading stories like this. I don't know what it is exactly about this kind of storytelling but it seems so effortless, casual - none of the trumped-up fists-on-their-hips-and-trumpeting-their-bravado garbage.

Instead, I see the CU Next Tuesday t-shirt and I'm grateful for the irreverent Mike-biased sense of humour here.Īnne, if you haven't read this stuff yet I think I see a gifting opportunity. Let's address this head-on: the team are embracing the boob window here, even to the point of an over-the-top prop comedy moment that would normally send me into a rage rant. There's more than a slight hint of Atomic Robo here in the writing and the art, so if that's you're kind of comic (or of you just happen to enjoy that on the side), c'mon down to Gray/Palmiotti/Conner country. I love the inside joke eye-rolling between characters, and G/P make for some fun interactions between characters. PG's facial expressions alone are worth reading this book. Wait, did I say that about another Power Girl comic already? The writing is excellent, but this book wouldn't be half as much fun without Amanda Conner's deft flair for slight exaggeration.

This is the entire collected run of Palmiotti/Gray/Conner on Power Girl, and I make a wholehearted recommendation to read this to anyone who enjoys stories that don't have to take themselves so damned seriously.įun, amusing and doesn't take itself so friggin seriously.
