Superman / Batman #27 - DC

I'm not sure if this story is an imaginary tale, or a dream. But, who cares. It's written by Mark Verheiden, drawn by Kevin Maguire and has a beautiful cover by Ethan VanShiver. And it features 2 babes, Power Girl & Huntress. I mean, what more could you ask for. Basically what happens is, the Ultra Humanite and Brainwave have a plan to implant Superman & Batman's consciousness into Power Girl & Huntress. The idea is that although S & B's personalities will be dominant at first, eventually the girls consciousness will re-emerge, take control, pushing the boys out of the way, and when that happen their bodies will die. Then, they can make PG & Huntress feel responsible for what they've done. Basically wiped out 4 heroes in one fell swoop. Well, of course, plans don't always work out the way their supposed to. The girls and the guys try to work together. They defeat the Ultra Humanite, and when they confront Brainwave, he's gives them enough clues to piece together where their bodies are being kept. We also get Solomon Grundy thrown in the mix. For some reason. I'm not exactly sure why he's in the story. But anyways, things are wrapped up, then PG wakes up from her sleep, says she had a weird dream, and gets back to her duties as Flamebird and Nightwing in Kandor. You can follow that story in the Supergirl series. Anyways imaginary or not, it was a good fill-in issue. Which is my guess because next issue Ethan is on full art chores for a new story arc. Fantastic!! This series get better and better all the time. It's basically a reboot of the "World's Finest" series of the 70's & 80's. But, who cares. That was a cool series too. So pick it up. Enjoy it. And never look back.
