Breaking Through

Two panels from Birds of Prey #100 made their way through the miasma of grading, event planning, student conferences, and committee meetings that presently has a grip on my brain.

And, most pleasurable of all, this month's Birds of Prey provides a modern updating of an iconic WWII-era image:

OK, I flipped through BoP, so I was kind of wondering why Power Girl seemed so ticked at getting an invitation from Oracle?

I know PG has showed up a couple times in BoP, did Babs hang her out to dry?

Yeah, back in the day when PG was an operative for Oracle a situation arose in which PG could either save a single politico or a (literal) boatload of innocent civilians (men, women, children ... the whole kaboodle) — Oracle made her save the politico, which PG seems never to have forgiven her for.

That story takes place in BOP #4q2, Calvin, just in case you wanted to read it for yourself. It's one of the best issues of the series, IMO.

As usual, a helpful LJ user has provided the goods.

I also loved that Zinda panel! It was one of the things that made the issue for me. It's so her; both aggressively sexy and sweetly old fashioned.
