Issue #26 was even mistakenly solicited as the final one, but instead of cancelling the series, DC decided to keep it going with Earth 2 flashback tales featuring Superman and Batman. Maybe the plan is for Huntress and Power Girl to be back after World's End is over, but with sales the way they are, I'm not sure the book will still be around by then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-65051608211556019222014-11-13T11:13:19.414-06:002014-11-13T11:13:19.414-06:00And that may or may not be, but to my mind, it'...And that may or may not be, but to my mind, it's still incumbent on the writer to offer up relevant, meaningful stories even if they're just marking time. Marking time for marking time's sake isn't worth my dollars.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-72671734445984028232014-11-13T09:58:38.073-06:002014-11-13T09:58:38.073-06:00Alternatively, he might be keeping himself on the ...Alternatively, he might be keeping himself on the book to make sure that Huntress and Power Girl don't get messed up by Worlds End and the New 52 in general. doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-89297403060798281172014-11-13T09:18:09.833-06:002014-11-13T09:18:09.833-06:00Appreciate the comment.

I guess one can kind of see in the book where Levitz is having to keep pace with Earth 2, and especially to put Power Girl and Huntress in the right position for the Batman/Superman crossover, and no doubt that's tough on a writer. <br /><br />At the same time, maybe unfairly, in a perfect world I'd like to see a writer say, "OK, my plans have been derailed/put on hold, but here's this great story I can tell in the meantime." The cause might be editorial interference, but the effect -- like a whole issue where they fight a dog, or the generic Tats storyline -- I can only see to blame on the writer.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-88131915842112083862014-11-13T08:55:28.148-06:002014-11-13T08:55:28.148-06:00I agree with everything you say here.

I got the sense that the story was spinning its wheels until things further developed in other titles like Earth 2. My feeling was that Levitz had a plan for these characters and this title but had to wait to implement it.Waynenoreply@blogger.com
