Action Comics #1077 came out last week, the eighth weekly issue during this Mark Waid run.
That also means it is the eighth entry in Mariko Tamaki's Supergirl story which has plodded along in the most dull way. I feel like my reviews have been repetitive. Nothing happens; Supergirl seems ineffective. But wait ... something happens this time.
In fact, something potentially interesting happens this time. I am not saying this is a good chapter. But at least there is some progression. And after 7 chapters of nothing happening, I am nearly giddy that at least we got something.
The prisoner gives us some background on who she is.
Also, Tamaki brings in Tom King's Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow. Is she praising it? Retconning it? I think I know what it happening but I am hoping you all will tell me what you think as well.
Now Supergirl still does nothing in this chapter. This is the prisoner's story, not Kara's.
Meghan Hetrick is back on art and brings an open style to things.
On to the details.
