Batman/Superman #8

After pretty much hating the first issue of Batman/Superman I've given the comic a wide berth and haven't looked back. However, the recent cross-over with Worlds' Finest involving the Huntress and Power Girl revealing themselves to this world's versions of their relatives begins here so I found myself picking this issue up (along with Part 2 of the story in Worlds' Finest #20 also released this week). I was pleasantly surprised.

Despite an art style by Jae Lee that doesn't really mesh with much of anything in the New 52 (which from one perspective can certainly be seen as a good thing), writer Greg Pak gets the beats right as Batman is confronted by his daughter from another world who he inherently trusts (but doesn't necessarily trust that he feels that way).

We also see Superman's first meeting with an out-of-control Power Girl who he is determined to help whether she wants his help or not (or whether such efforts could endanger himself). I'm curious to see where this storyline will go. Worth a look.
