The cat’s out of the bag-Streaky takes center stage in a hair-raising adventure! Will the super-pet have what it takes to save Metropolis from its greatest canine threat? Or has the city really gone to the dogs?
It's a remarkably breezy adventure with almost no dialogue, and it's probably one of the most delightful comics on the shelf this week. Read Full Review
It's a cute animal-centric adventure, but there are a few too many scenes of animals in serious peril for it to really feel lighthearted. The art by David Baldeon is great with animals, and it's a fun and experimental done-in-one issue, but doesn't have the timelessness of the classic Krypto one-off. Read Full Review
This adorable filler story provides a much needed breather before the next arc ramps up again, and allows the creative team to make a fun little detour that should appeal to the any comic book fan/cat owner. Read Full Review
I don't know if this book has 'earned' a funny animal issue this soon into the run. Read Full Review
This series is not for fans of Power Girl, that's obvious. It's not quite clear who it's for. Maybe there's an audience for it...I'd love to know if it has found an audience that likes this Power Girl. Read Full Review
Power Girl #5 makes little sense as a cooldown, silent issue that focuses on Power Girl's cat. Williams did her best to build up the Symbio-Ship's return as a defining moment for Power Girl with an intriguing cliffhanger at the end of the last issue, only to dispose of every ounce of momentum and intrigue for no benefit. This issue is a waste. Read Full Review
Reader be advised; this comic has 2 pages of actual written dialogue. There's not much to say here; Streaky (not Stinky, who's PG's original cat) goes on a mission to rescue cats and dogs from an underground animal trafficking situation. It's well drawn, but I feel like it's something of a waste of a properly decent artist on what is essentially an inventory issue. The last two pages sets up the next story arc, Supergirl needs PG's phony new powers of punch through dimensions. Leah Williams isn't the strongest writer that was brought over from Marvel, the least she could have done was bring Carlos Gomez with her, I would have LOVED to see him pencil Powergirl.
Once again this isnt really a PG comic, but not a terrible comic nonetheless. I dont know why editorial isnt helping Leah. It baffles me how incompetent the editors are. Leah clearly has some fun idea (the cat adventure is cute, but would be better as a shorty story in one of those silent one shots DC does), but no one is helping her form them.
All in all its a cute book but not a PG book. Editors are out to lunch and Leah is left to do her own thing. Which honestly isnt terrible but if you are looking for PG... she is only here in her weird new iteration for like 5% of the time.
i'm sorry, i was looking for the human comics..?
