scans_dailyIt used to be that when DC solicits came out, I checked immediately if Ex Machina was out that month. It never was.
Now the first thing that I do is check the Power Girl solicit, to see who is starring in her book.
This time, I am sad
POWER GIRL #27
Written by matthew sturges • Art by HENDRY PRASETYA (but I assume that they mean Prasetyo
Cover by WARREN LOUW
Power Girl has 20 seconds to save the day – three times over! But who set up this dangerous game? Can Power Girl find a way to overcome not one but three disasters and track down the statistically-minded villain behind it all?
On sale AUGUST 17 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
No guest stars but more importantly, NO SAMI BASRI!
Yes, it's a pretty cover, if very dull. Hopefully, this will just be a short break for Basri.
In fact, when I pick up Power Girl on Wednesday, I'm going to send DC an email saying that I really want Basri to stay on the book.

Date: 2011-05-17 02:36 pm (UTC)The problem is that there is a huge, HUGE difference between drawing a curvaceous, attractive woman whose assets aren't hidden from the readers, and drawing her with her ass sticking out and her boobs shoved forward and angled or centered on the page so that it is impossible to pretend she isn't blatantly posing for the readers.
It's just as stupid as those scenes of male characters flexing and striking ridiculously blatant manly macho poses: no matter how good they look doing it, the action makes them seem ridiculous and breaks my suspension of disbelief. Even stupider in fact, because at least superheroing has something to do with strength, while sexiness is supposed to be just a nice bonus. It's especially true when it's supposed to be in the middle of a serious scene, but a cover is supposed to give you an idea of what the comic offers, and I'm really not going to pick up a comic offering porn.
