Just a quick update – completed annotations for issues #1 and #2 of the main series and crossovers 1 to 7. Hope to have the whole thing done before Christmas.

Mash-Up #27
Twice a week I randomly generate two dates and then compare the titles I own from both of them, trying to find some covers that, with a little basic photoshopping, I can mash together, and then I force the results on you lovely people.
By the way, I admit to being HUGELY influenced by the wonderful Super-Team Family blog which has been doing this for years (and a lot better) on an almost daily basis.
Can you imagine this lot facing off against each other? Back in the good old days, this would have been a laugh a minute. Now? They’d end up being dismembered in close-up while heroes grit their teeth and swear this will never happen again . . .

Kate Spencer’s Manhunter . . . whatever happened to her, eh? Damn fine character, great stories which sorted out the needlessly convoluted backstory and various versions of the Manhunter titles, and then she got tossed aside.

100 Issues Ago July 2010
I came across this “100 Issues Ago” panel in an old Justice League of America and thought I’d tidy it up and re-purpose it. If one month = one issue, what was I reading 100 Issues Ago?
Power Girl #12 was the last issue in the Palmiotti/Gray/Conner run and rounded out a superb series that really made the most of the character. The writing was spot on with a great mix of action and humour and the art looked gorgeous. Ther series continued for another year or so after they left, helmed by the less that excellent Judd Winick who very quickly went dark and serious, but at least Sami Basri continued the great look of the series.
It’s no surprise that Palmiotti and Conner later had such success with the Harley Quinn book and it was a delight to see them bring in their version of Power Girl with barely a nod to the New 52’s revamp of the character.
I know I’ve said it before, but if you haven’t picked up the collection of this series, you really should.
