The flashbacks are nice and creepy, and this issue adds some important emotional stakes to a series that has sort of struggled to find a full narrative and place in the DCU for Power Girl so far. Read Full Review

Leah Williams is really shaping up Power Girl as a force unto her own. The way she has Paige feel her emotions and face her traumas is especially inspiring. There's a lot of positive messages within the series, even when things get bleak, that remind me of the type of comics I enjoyed in my youth, and this issue is no exception. Read Full Review

It's astounding that Power Girl is solicited up to issue #18 at this point. Power Girl #15 demonstrates that this series has no hope of improvingthat Williams is incapable of delivering a satisfying depiction of the character. There's no following for this series as sales bear out. No matter how much one enjoys Adriana Melo's art, this comic is a bust. Read Full Review

So Ejecta's backstory was a whole lot of 'meh'. Not the worst ever but not good by any means. Leah is leaning really hard onto the only interesting villain she has created. Like many modern day writers, they can come up with one good villain then ruin them but rapid overuse. This is what is happening here.

PG herself is terribly written. Her crying and calling Symbio an abuser is... wildly out of character for her. This PG continues to be some sort of pathetic version of Supergirl who cannot seem to find herself. She get too angry way to quickly (PG is somewhat hot headed but Leah takes this up a notch), and is wildly moody. Like she is either crying or raging or partying.... those are her three moods.

After this arc I think I am dropping this series. Even as my 'shame read of the month' this is getting a bit much. more
