Some thoughts about Secret Origins #9

New origins, new perspectives.

What makes Alec Holland so important to the Green? What are the past and future of Power Girl? What's is the true nature of John Stewart?

As usual, Secret Origins bring us three new beginnings and surprisingly all of them deliver this time.

The first segment is focused on Swamp Thing written by Charles Soule who also handled the main title. This works incredibly well due that the writer starts exploring the kind of character who Alec is as well as connecting him to the different events that have been happening during his life and how he's seen by others, is a pretty good way to finish Soule's work in the series. Alessandro Vitti is in charge of the artwork and his style pretty detailed and expressive, managing to make every scene strong.

The second section is concentrated on Power Girl and written by Paul Levitz. Shockingly, this is a quite good story due that the writer also visits some charming moments between Superman and her and how they're relationship developed. The art is brought by Alisson Borges and her style is wonderful with a pretty clean look and beautiful characters.

The third part belongs to John Stewart written by Van Jensen. The author continues his work on the character by showing some of the core aspects he has explored in Green Lantern Corps while revealing some secrets about his origin too. Pencils are handled by Pat Broderick and his work has an unique tone but is a fitting one overall.

I would say that I liked Swamp Thing's story the most, followed by John Stewart's in second place and Power Girl's in third. Really satisfactory issue.
