The new Power Girl and Huntress World's Finest is out tomorrow
You must be proud, bold, pleasant, resolute,
And now and then stab, as occasion serves.

I thought this was great and like the all new Powergirl in look and action.

I appreciate not everyone is going to be happy with PG no longer being so massively proportioned and so very exposed along with all of her previous history completely wiped.

To my mind her and Superboy have been reformatted as much as possible while still keeping their old names.

The writing seems no better than mediocre so far. I am liking the Perez artwork, but there was too much fill-in artwork in issue #2.

The Power Girl costume is still god-awful (though her Supergirl of Earth-2 dugs may have been even worse), and for some reason the Huntress' headgear now has mouse-ears instead of bat-wings. Not really intmidating, though I like the costume better overall than the "bare-belly" special.

Cosmetics aside, these are NOT the same characters at all-they aren't even throwbacks to the original "classic" Earth-2 characters. Helena Wayne was the daughter of Catwoman, and took up the mantle to avenge her mother; Kara was a bruiser who never played second-fiddle to Kal-L as "Supergirl"-she didn't even want a similar emblem on her costume, because PG was a heroine in her own right and didn't need to stand even in the Earth-2 Superman's shadow.

Still, I'm interested enough for now. I could probably like this more if DC didn't insist on calling this one and the new JSA as being of "Earth-2"; maybe if they just agreed to Earth-Beta instead.

All my best.
