And Then I Read: WORLDS’ FINEST 10

On the cover, and on a few pages inside this issue we see the impact of the death of a boy that Huntress felt a kinship with, but hadn’t known for long — the one filling the role of Robin. If you haven’t been reading the Batman titles, this may come as a surprise, and the impact on this one is not huge. Writer Paul Levitz walks the tightrope pretty well, giving us some emotional context, but keeping much of the issue focused on his current storylines. That storyline involves industrial espionage, an old hero re-imagined, and some very smart technology. We see Power Girl and Huntress in action separately, and helping each other as well. A good issue overall. The art this time is entirely by Kevin Maguire, who does a good job, though his Power Girl looks rather different from the George Perez one of previous issues. Kevin’s strength has always been in portraying character emotions through facial expressions and body language, and he does that very well here.

Recommended.
