Power Girl #6 - DC

This is a great book. It's got a great upbeat feel to it. Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti put in just the right amount of humor, to make it interesting. Also Amanda Connor's art just makes this book fun, and light-hearted. Although, I do like this variant Guillem March cover. I don't know any hero out there that looks as sexy as Power Girl. Anyways, we find out that this attack last issue by the 3 girls was really all just a fluke. They're actually 3 rich girls from another planet who are used to doing pretty much whatever they like. They had gotten into some minor trouble, and their handler, Agent 7, ended up following them through a worm hole. Which is how they ended up on Earth. Yeah they shot his ship down, but . . they knew that he would eject before he was hurt. Anyways, long story short . . the girls have brought along bags of precious jewels. It's the currency of their home planet. So Karen helps them cash them in, and then get a place to live down in Rio de Janeiro. All she asks now is that they try to stay out of trouble. But, she's gotten something in return also. Agent 7 gave Karen some of the equipment he brought with him. So she's going to take it back to her firm and see if they can reverse engineer it and maybe be able to make something out of it. Something they can patent, or sell. It's not like, in the history of mankind, that's never been done before. And we also see the Karen is still hanging out with Terra. You know, the chick who's people live in the center of the planet? She's still around. Although she doesn't see any action this issue. Like I said, I like this book because it's fun. It's always upbeat. No matter what's going on, there's always some form of humor . . written or visual, in the story. It just makes for a fun read. I really didn't know whether I would like this book . . in the beginning, but . . now I think I like it more than the regular Supergirl title. I just hope we can keep the same creative team here for awhile. I think they're doing a fantastic job.
