Power Girl #2
Since no one else has posted anything...

The thing that I really like about this page...aside from the obvious, heh, heh, heh...are the first three panels at the bottom. I've never had a high regard for Amanda Conner's art, because I didn't think her eyes ever followed the narrative very. However, this issue, this page and the last page, where Peej's eyes are essentially her dialog, has made me take back every negative thing I've said about Conner.

I also like U-H's method for thwarting heat vision...although it's kind of out of step with the earlier demonstration of Peej using her heat vision as a force beam to knock U-H off her back. Still, the effort to detail the deathtrap here is appreciated.

Honestly, between that and the fact that I can't recall the last time Peej actually did anything that couldn't just as easily be accomplished by a monkey, albeit one with superpowers, this actually starts to sound like a really sensible trade. The Power Girl body can match itself up with an incredible intellect and a) begin behaving like somebody who could actually feasibly be in charge of a group like the JSA and b) stop pretending that it's not delighted by boob jokes, and the Peej personality can continue to punch things very forcefully and be easily angered. Everyone wins.

	So he's "sparing" her by putting her brain in his gorilla body? Ah, okay, that's what was confusing me. The whole "cutting out her brain" thing didn't seem like sparing her. (Reply to this) (Parent)
