Harley Quinn Vol 2 (hardcover)

Harley Quinn and Power Girl team-up as written by Palmiotti and Conner. A sure fire winner!

Power Girl - Power Trip

This meaty trade collected 17 issues, 11 of which I'd read only last year but very happy to read again.

It's great value for a great collection of comics.

Power Girl: Power Trip

I've been waiting a long time for this and it finally arrived today. This reprints all the Power Girl stories by Palmiotti/Grey and Conner.

Will be reading soon and I'm quite happy to re-read material I only read a year ago.

Power Girl by Amanda Conner

This was great - probably the most enjoyable of Amanda Conner's work I read. And the majority has been very good. Shame I have to wait for a year to pick up a trade containing the next (and last) 6 issues of her run.

Fun writing and art. Recommended!

Terra by Amanda Conner

I continued my rapid reading of some of Amanda Conner's DC stuff (she does the art whilst Palmiotti and Gray come up with fun stories) by finishing this 5 issue trade in one day. I love the holidays!

I actually only needed to read 4 issues as one issue was also included in the Art of Amanda Conner. Still the story was fun and easy to follow. Just like the art really. Conner's style is right up my ally being a mixture of cartoony and detailed at the same time. Her regular inker (and fiance I believe) Palmiotti ensures that the art has a light touch and is not too heavy and dark. She would have been perfect for Justice League back-in-the-day.

Art of Amanda Conner

I've finished this oversized 300 page hardcover yesterday. It reprints the following comics:

Superman: Lois Lane #1, Birds of Prey #47-49, JSA Classified #1-4, Supergirl #12, the Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding Special, plus stories from Secret Origins 80-Page Giant #1, The Joker: Last Laugh Secret Files #1 & Wonder Woman #600,

That's quite a lot of comics. I really enjoyed it (hence why I managed to breeze through it in a week but that's also modern comics for you). The stories were by different writers so some were better than others but the art was consistantly great. Favourites - Birds of Prey, JSA and Supergirl.

I'm going to continue with the Amanda Conner theme with a couple of trades next.

One point to note. It's ironic that this week, whilst I was in the middle of this, DC announced that next Feb (2014) a trade reprinting all Amanda Conner's Powergirl will be released. That's JSA Classified 1-4 & Powergirl 1-12. Well the only issues I'm missing out of that run are 7-12 but that trade apprears to be very hard to find and an ex-library copy went for £17.77 on ebay. So the good news is I can get the complete run...the bad news is, I needn't have bothered getting the first Power Girl trade. Bad timing!
