The Comic
Huntress is the daughter of the Batman of Earth 2. Power Girl is cousin of Earth 2 Superman. As we saw in Earth 2, they got pulled over to the new 52 earth and are currently stuck there.
That's your premise. How have they done on "our" planet?
Really great actually. Rich. Filthy rich. Buying up technology stuff. And trying to go back home. Aw.
This is an issue long joy ride for those wanting to get into the expanded universe that DC is doing with the new 52. The comic reads like an old school silver age/90s era comic. Its a nostalgic look at a new-old universe. Decent, but not my cup of tea.
The Art
It's George Perez, who is an old hat to these superhero stories. This is the type of thing that fits perfect with the old-school feel of the story like a well worn glove that you keep around for years.
The Cover
This is a good character cover. Doesn't tell you much about the story inside, but you get who will be in the issue. Really boring and doesn't set itself apart from the crowd on the comic shelf. I missed it the two times that I was looking for it.
Grades
Words: 5/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: This isn't my flavor of comics. Might be your flavor, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Buy Next Issue: I'm feeling the same thing for this comic that I felt for Earth 2, not for me. The idea behind the new 52 was to take the characters into bold, exciting, different directions. But we are telling stories in the tradition of cooperate superhero comics - recycle and reuse.
