This issue wraps up the mini-series starring the latest hero to have the name Terra.And while this series hasn't changed comics as we know it or broken new ground or anything of that magnitude, it has resulted in a fun little story that gives us the background of the newest heroine in the DC universe.
In the grand tradition of heroes from Lost Worlds, we find that the young woman named Terra is from Strata, a civilization hidden deep in the Earth. To protect the balance of nature, she's sent to the surface to protect the innocent, fight the bad guys and (eventually) join the Terror Titans (whoever they are).
It's a nice, well-crafted story by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, but once again, the real star of the story is the artwork by Amanda Conner, with coloring by Paul Mounts.
She has such a fresh, energetic spark to her artwork, it's a real pleasure to take it in. Her characters are expressive, and their body language is perfect. She's equally at home doing knock-down, drag-out superhero fights, and more intimite moments like Terra going on a lighthearted shopping spree with Power Girl.
Her next project, I believe, is a new series devoted to Power Girl. As long as Conner's drawing it, I'll be buying it.
Grade: B+
