Wednesday is New Comics Day

Posted by Evil Richard on July 20, 2005.

This week's recommended comic is JSA:Classified #1 by Geoff Johns, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti.

Power Girl is generally known among the DC Comics heroes as "the one with the big tits", which is actually like describing a professional basketball player as "the black guy". But even by comic book standards, Power Girl is usually depicted with abnormally super human breasts bursting through her cleavage-revealing outfit. Though the character has been around since the late '60's, the only thing that can really be said for certain about her is that she's at least a double D.

Now, we're about to learn more. Starting off the new Justice Society of America anthology, Geoff Johns (writer of just about everything that happens in the DC Universe) is going to deliver the long awaited origin of Power Girl. Is she from Krypton? Is she from the future? Is there more to this character than her just being the chick you'd want to cheat on Supergirl with?

After the success of JLA:Classified, the Justice League anthology, DC is now carrying over that format to other areas of it's character library. Generally anthologies are filled with inconsequential stories by unknown creative teams but this book is starting out in a different place by tackling some long unanswered questions. And with Johns directing the story and Amanda Conner, best known for drawing the perversely funny The Pro, on art it looks like super hero anthologies are becoming must reads. Oh, did I mention the cover by Adam Hughes?
