The artwork is dreadful on this series. Every page is inconsistent. If this series gets cancelled, the artist will have to shoulder much of the blame. Its kind of painful to look at. The inker is too soft on this artist and many of the poses attempt to be dynamic but exaggerate everything too much. Read Full Review
Where this book falters in in terms of characterization. Holt himself is a bit bland. As a billionaire-industrialist-athlete-superhero-sex symbol, he's almost too perfect without any foibles to ground him. Karen Starr's role is interesting inasmuch as the ongoing mystery of her Power Girl status continues, but beyond that she doesn't bring much to the series. The villain is particularly bland. With an entire main cast that fail to capture much attention, this book still has some serious hurdles to overcome. Read Full Review

This is a creative team that, unfortunately, is misfiring from start to finish. Read Full Review
