Some thoughts about Worlds' Blandest #18

Power Girl continues to have problems with his powers, deja vu.

Thanks to the help of Huntress she's able to gain control of her abilities again but unfortunately that's not the only problem that they will be facing since a strange cult is causing problems in the city.

Some thoughts about Worlds' Finest #17

Power Girl is still having problems with her powers.

That's the plot of this issue, that's seriously the plot!

There are some positive aspects that Paul Levitz bring to these superheroines like the interaction between each other that makes it seems like a pretty normal friendship, the problem is that only last for a few pages and then we go back to incredibly boring superheroics, Power Girl acting like a self-absorbed chick and one of the slowest and most frustrating stories ever,

So many ways that this book could be saved as I said in my last article dedicated to this series here: http://comicobsessed.blogspot.com/2013/09/is-there-dc-title-more-boring-than.html

However, it seems like DC doesn't really care about giving a competent treatment to these characters anymore so I'm not really optimistic about the future.

The art was handled by both Scott McDaniel and R.B. Silva and they do a quite solid job at depicting the characters and story.

*sigh* Seriously, why do people still bother with this series?

Is there a DC title more boring than Worlds' Finest currently?

Because I swear to God I can't find one, at least not now that Legion of Super-Heroes has been cancelled.

Do you wonder what both titles have in common? They have Paul Levitz as their writer. During the last couple of years and even before the New 52 I have been amazed about the amount of work that DC has given to this guy despite that his works doesn't receive neither critical nor sales success.

This may be due to his history. Paul Levitz has a long list of DC works including a classic Legion of Super-Heroes run from the 80's which was also drawn, and probably co-written, by Keith Giffen which became an instant achievement in both acclaim and sales. This might have been one of the reasons why DC gave Levitz the reigns of Legion of Super-Heroes relaunch in the New 52 as well as the recreation of both Power Girl and Huntress in Worlds' Finest.

Now you may believe that this is an article made exclusively to complaint about Paul Levitz but I can't assure you that it isn't despite of evidence of the contrary (I'm saving that topic for another day in fact). This article has been created to criticize the current New 52 Worlds' Finest series due to its lackluster quality and to try to find a way to make it improve.
