JSA Annual 1 2008

Power Girl returns to post-Crisis Earth-2, only to notice a few considerable differences. One them involves her long lost best friend, Helena Wayne/Huntress, who doesn't seem well...herself lately.

Somewhere in between swinging on rooftops and finding her way back to JSI, Helena Wayne!Huntress runs into her old friend, Power Girl, who crash-lands back on Earth-2 after a fight with Gog on New Earth. Needless to say Huntress is both surprised, shocked, and happy to see that her best friend is Back.

While waiting on her friend who's being attended to at JSI headquarters, Huntress runs into Earth-2 Dick/Robin who sort of tells him what's on her mind.

Power Girl wakes up and gets reacquainted with post-Crisis Earth-2 JSA (which she finds out is now called JSI, a merger between JSA and Infinity, Inc). She's still, however, feeling rather disoriented by the turn of events and wishes to get back in touch with her JLA mates back on New Earth. She finds her old apartment just as it used to be, but can't seem to sleep. So she catches up with Huntress and have a bit of pep talk.

(Joker is a fan of WATCHMEN? I approve! ♥)

And of course, Helena and Joker's desire to kill one another is exclusively mutual. Maybe Wayne could learn a thing or two from Bertinelli on how to effectively kill someone...no need. Power Girl takes the blow for her.

And of course, this super d'awwww scene gets ruined by the presence of another Power Girl who recognises this version of the Huntress. Needless to say both Huntress and Power Girl 2 gang up on the original, but that's a story for another day.

"That's the worst part. It hurts to laugh."

I'm honestly not sure if this line makes me pity the Joker, or if it makes me want to laugh myself.

I know he died of an electric overdose but I wonder if the Joker's laughter as he held Power Girl's hand was responsible of his demise. That would be kinda poetic because the killing joke was on the Joker.

That could be possible--those zapper things usually just zap the person who Joker's shaking, right? So either it was defective, or Joker died from his laughter.

There is also the chance that the Joy Buzzer was meant to kill him if we consider the idea of him trying to die along Helena Wayne (thus killing Batman's legacy while leaving the world to be consumed by chaos) but I don't really buy that idea because it would ignore the fact that Dick would stay alive.
