This turned out to be a total surprise. Given that I haven't read too far into the new 52 before these Zero issues came out, I was able to go into this story with truly virgin eyes. I didn't even really acknowledge the title and was pleasently surprised when I uncovered exactly what this book was setting up: Power Girl and Huntress, who are presented here on Earth 2 as Supergirl and Robin respectively. This is an origin story about two heroes from another world that will eventually become heros on our world & I couldn't be more interested in seeing how they cope with the events of their past that's laid out so brilliantly here.
Robin here is the daughter of Batman and Catwoman and is spurred into action after a tragedy befalls her mother. Batman, barely able to fight, calls in Superman (who's busy) which subsequently brings Supergirl into the mix. That's really all you get from this, other than a sense that these two may be lesbians in the near future...
I mean really, isn't SuperGirl's expression a little sexual? No? Just me? Well fine, I'll believe what I want! |
Anyway, this is a great entry point into the Earth 2 universe, and these character's pasts. I'm looking forward to continuing with this title.
