Looks like you've got some code problems. I totally see PeeGee as an Ikea type. They serve Scandinavian breakfast at the one near me.

"Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen..."

[sir_mikael.insanejournal.com]

"IKEA (IKEA), selling furniture for college kids and divorced men.
Everyone has a home. If you dont have a home you can buy one there!"

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

Darn you, I was going to post this...after I cooked breakfast. *shakes fist*

Peej and Terra need to go shopping every issue.

Aside from the cute, I love the names of everything. (I do wonder if they fit with proper Swedish spelling rules. This is the kind of thing I think about...)

I'm especially amused by Kara trying to drag Atlee away from the fud (>_>), and yet she's nomming on a Cinnamon Tejsti-Rohl at the end of the page. (Incredibly cutely, of course.) She needs to buy her a stuffed animal, now...maybe it'll keep her from getting dragged to bad romance movies in future.

And after this issue, it's impossible not to 'ship these two....

[aulayan.insanejournal.com]

You're just saying that because of the $69 that's hanging over PJ's head.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

>_> I hadn't even noticed that.

[arilou_skiff.insanejournal.com]

It's not swedish at all. (although it does a reasonable job of spelling english words with swedish spelling rules)

Although swedes usually use "K" to represent the hard "C" sound.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I knew it wasn't Swedish - I wouldn't have been amused by the names had I not noticed they were English words just spelt by Swedish rules, or mis-spelt in ways meant to look Swedish - it was just which of those possibilities it was that I was unsure on.

[sir_mikael.insanejournal.com]

Btw there's one swedish word in all of that though. A sign says "perch stol" and well "stol" does mean chair. So... :p

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Its a mix od Swedish and Dutch. The signs are wordplay jokes. :)

[sir_mikael.insanejournal.com]

This might seem like an odd reply but I just love dutch.
It's such a fun language that in my personal head (as opposed to my official head) sounds like a mix between swedish, german and english. Sort of like the words are more like german-english but the way the sentences are constructed are quite similar to swedish.

And yes the signs are funny! :D

[halloweenjack.insanejournal.com]

Peej and Terra need to go shopping every issue.

I'd buy that, even for more than a dollar.

Who else thinks that in panel 3, Terra is trying to decide whether or not the tongs are really a speculum?

[artnouveauho.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

Is it just me, or are those kukis... smiling?

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

It's funny because there's an alien murderer on the loose, but looking for them would be hard.

"Bad guys are hard. Let's go shopping!"

You tell'em, Kara.

*beats head on keyboard*

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Well, they're not actually murderers, and Peej knows this. So, it's not that insulting. I mean, this is a series where she blew her secret identity the first day on the job and didn't even know until the blackmail, which she can do jack shit about, showed up on her front door. When stuff like that is on the table, you have to raise the bar for incompetence a bit just to keep up.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

They are too murderer's. Anez killed a man. It may have been accidental, but (a) that's still a crime and (b) it means they're dangerous. If Carl hadn't showed up, Anez would have killed those hit men as well.

Playing the irresponsible princess angle is fine. Having Anez's gun go off, shooting over the crowd and scaring everyone, is fine. But when they kill someone, even by accident, and the hero of the book is all right with it and goes to buy furniture...nng.

You do realize Carl is the hero of the story, right? Power Girl didn't catch the party girls; Carl led her to them, Carl helped talk Anez down from de-aging Power Girl, and it was Carl who is keeping an eye on the girls in Rio. A jet pack with Wikipedia access could do what Power Girl did in the last two issues.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Yes, but you're missing the point. By the standards of this title so far, following along and assisting Carl is downright proactive and competent.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I see where I was mistaken. I keep forgetting people don't judge ever Power Girl on great she is, but rather on how she doesn't suck as much as she potentially could. Thank you for reminding me of that.

*beats head on keyboard*

Why isn't it December yet? Why can't Empowered come out every month?

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Jarod. What the hell fantasy world are you living in. People don't judge Peej by how great she is. They judge her by her breasts.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

What the hell fantasy world are you living in.

The kind where Huntress never joined the Birds of Prey. Instead, when Savant kidnapped Dinah, Oracle called in Jesse Quick to search every house in Gotham City...because, to quote from the actual, fantasy dialog, "Screw Batman's meta policy, my partner's in trouble." Then, after the day was saved, Jesse joined the Birds, using her business administration skills to help Oracle grow the team and realizing she and Dinah shared similar experiences both with their mother's disapproval and being the kid of the JSA.

That's the kind of fantasy world I live in, thank you for asking. :)

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

... I like this idea.

[khamelea.insanejournal.com]

Why did it have to coincide with what has to be about the best possible art?

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

The internet had made comic book writers obsolete. We can tell our own stories just as well, but people who can illustrate them will always be a precious commodity.

[marfisa.insanejournal.com]

I find the stories of this series not particularly compelling, not to say a bit boring, but Connor’s art is just great, and this page here is near perfection. I guess I would appreciate the following announcement from DC:

“Since no villain is foolish enough to attack Powergirl’s home town, our next few issues will chronicle Peej’s everyday life, with lots of shopping and cinema visits with Atlee, drawn by Amanda Connor.”

Do it, DC. You know you want to.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

I worry about what will happen if the creative team left, Seem like it would follow the Giffen JL and just fall apart.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

Amanda Connor, much like Ed Benes, is the kind of artist whose skills are only hampered by narratives from the so-called "writers." DC would do well just to let artists like Connor and her colorist draw 22 pages of whatever every month, pay them 150% the going artist rate, and bank whatever they save not paying the writer and editor.

I'm 99.9% sure I'm dropping Power Girl next time I get to the comic shop, and I can tell you fer dang shore it's not because of the art.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

Third panel, 1st scan: where did Peej's breasts disappear to?

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

I wonder how well a comic series of PG and Terra doing miscellaneous cute things would sell.

[goblinthebamf.insanejournal.com]

Power Girl would probably be better if there were no dialogue at all, just Connor's art.

(html doesn't really like >_> emotes)

[ninjapeps.insanejournal.com]

browsers assume angle brackets (or at least less than signs) mean you're making a tag. you can get around that by using &lt; and &gt; instead. &lt; gives you < and &gt; gives you >.

[midare.insanejournal.com]

That "swedish" killed me. So adorable. Even on the staff door :D

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

I love this series. So. MUCH.

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

I don't find the plots of this series all that interesting, but the characterization is amiable.

[thebigapricot.insanejournal.com]

Shopping for furniture together at Ikea? It's official, they are a couple.

Did anyone catch the name of the movies they saw? Jake & Leo on the loose "Smitten in Smallville" - but who is Lex and who is Clark??

[jelly_ace.insanejournal.com]

Atlee sleeping (and with the little Z!) is so cute!
And lulz at the tulz!

[sir_mikael.insanejournal.com]

Ok this is adorable. More comics should have the main cast just hanging out, doing somethign fun, dialouge optional. Silent panels are a great tool that needs to be used more often. Had it been on tv there it would have been a montage with music.

All the fake swedish is hilarious. Love "Buk Cajs" and "Äslip" XD Tho must say I'm ashamed how long it took me to decipher "Tejsti-rohls". I was like "Wait how am I supposed to say this? It seems more like polish or dutch or something..." Duh... english....

Also seeing "kuki" shocked me a bit, since "kuk" is kinda a rude word in swedish and there aren't really any other words with similar spellings to it, so it's probably unlikely to see words like that in IKEA.
