Currently Reading: Double Vision and Worlds' Finest vol #2 (New 52)

The last time I reviewed a Middle Grade book was back in February. I did start reading a couple since then but I didn't finish them because I was experiencing a bit of a Middle Grade reading slump but I'm totally over that and ready to start reading Double Vision. It's written by actresses and twin sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry, this seems like it will be interesting with twin sisters Cassie and Catlyn having psychic abilities.

I can't believe it's been a year since I read Worlds' Finest vol #1 especially since it was actually a pretty good read. The first volume is one of those rare New 52 books that is worth reading and hopefully this second one will be as well.


Book: Double Vision (Twintuition book #1) by Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry

Edition: Hardcover

Description:

Cassie and Caitlyn Waters may be identical twins, but everything else about them is completely different. The only thing they can agree on is that neither of them is happy that they have to move to middle-of-nowhere Aura, Texas. Caitlyn tries to put a positive spin on getting a fresh start, but Cassie's busy plotting how to convince their mom they should move back to the big city as quickly as possible.

But being the new kids isn't their only challenge. As the girls' birthday nears, they start experiencing strange visions -- and what they see starts coming true! Caitlyn and Cassie first use this new sight for their own fun, but when they each see something serious, the twins must work together to change the future before it can happen.

Book Review: Worlds' Finest vol #1 (New 52)


Book: Worlds' Finest volume #1: The Lost Daughters of Earth 2 (issues #0-5) by Paul Levitz

Illustrations by George Perez, Kevin Maguire, Scott Koblish, Jerry Ordway, Wes Craig and Serge Lapointe

Color by Hi-Fi and Rosemary Cheetham and letters by Carlos M. Mangual and Dezi Sienty

Edition: Trade Paperback

Rating: 4 stars

Review:

When Earth 2 was invaded by Apokolips most of the heroes died in the ongoing fight. Left to continue on was Robin (Helena Wayne) and Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) but during one battle they were accidentally transported to our world leaving them trapped here. I'm going to veer off subject for a small moment but it will relate to the review. Okay, at the start of the New 52, there was this five years where things were supposed to have happened. Such as Batman had time in that five year time span to have acquired, trained and partnered individually with four different Robins (Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim "Drake" and Damian Wayne). Yeah, like that made any sense. Ultimately, that five years became a faulty plot point that left plot holes all throughout the various series in the New 52.

Helena Wayne may not be my favorite Huntress (for the record that's Helena Bertellini) but after avoiding this series for DC Comics' bait and switch with Huntress in the miniseries Huntress: Crossbow at the Crossroads, I decided to finally give this a read.

Description:

The Best of Both Worlds

On the parallel world of Earth 2, humanity's greatest heroes fell to the invading hordes of the planet Apokolips. During the battle, Batman's daughter and Superman's cousin -- Robin and Supergirl -- were flung to our world.

They discover our Earth is eerily similar to the one they left, but at the same time unfamiliar, dangerous and different.

After five long years, the duo is still marooned in a strange land, but under new identities. As the urban vigilante Huntress, Helena travels the world doling out nocturnal justice under a series of changing secret identities, while Karen Starr takes to the skies as the high-flying Power Girl.

The two friends may protect this world like it's their own, but it will never their home. Will the Worlds' Finest ever find their way back to Earth 2?
