From a writing standpoint, this special didn’t enthrall me any more than the recent Power Girl backups in Action Comics. But visually, I appreciate Marguerite Sauvage’s slightly more modest take on the character’s look.
As recently as DC’s Lazarus Planet event, the way that certain artists provocatively drew Power Girl was…distracting, let’s say. Sauvage does accentuate the character’s breasts, but not to the point of ridiculousness. If they’re thinking of doing more Power Girl content like this, this is the way she should be drawn.

Our plot in this book is that Huntress, a.k.a. Batman’s daughter Helena Wayne, has gone back in time to save the Justice Society from a murderous supervillain. That’s a fine plot, in theory.. But I can’t understand why the book didn’t take a simpler approach, i.e. a story about the old school JSA fighting evil during World War II. It feels like that’s a little more in line with what fans wanted to see.
At the very least, Mikel Janin, Jerry Ordway, and their respective colorists turn in some gorgeous art. JSA is a little bit convoluted. But it’s pretty.

I actually kind of like that they’re going the cosmic route for the early portion of this Green Arrow run. At the very least, it’s a different aesthetic from how we normally see Oliver Queen.
I hope we get some more one-on-one time between Lian Harper and Ollie. That’s a relationship that I don’t know has been explored enough.
This is a minor spoiler, but why does it feel like Peacemaker and/or the Suicide Squad are being shoehorned into so many books lately? Is there some kind of editorial mandate?

This book feels like it’s starting to settle into a groove. Which kinda sucks, considering it’s only going to be six issues long…
For yours truly, Chris Burnham’s art continues to be the big selling point for this series. I really dig his figure rendering, and the texture he adds to everything. As the cover indicates, we get two Green Lanterns in this issue as a bonus.
