They speak about a prior Kryptonian conquest from a millenia ago. These Oans have a long memory and perhaps know first-hand what 100,000 Superman could do to a galaxy.</I>UGH, see THIS opening well and truly REALLY annoyed me, for it just came off as the Guardians seeming more then willing to acknowledge Superman solely being on 'New Krypton' yet choosing to IGNORE the very fact that our OTHER 2nd established Kryptonian House of El 'E-0' S-shield wielding known Superhero Supergirl herself has been on the newly established planet even long BEFORE her cuz here! Seriously, and with all due respect to Rucka and Robinson what gives?? Was this all just a mistake on their end come doing research as to what the continuity of New Krypton has been like BEFORE this very title?? :/ <br /><br /><I>They decide to send in Hal Jordan to see what he can find. It will be interesting to see how Zod and his troops respond to a Universal Police Officer telling them what is allowed, etc.</I>Not to mention Hal's own startling realization upon finding out not only is Superman here but Supergirl also (thanks to the incompetence of the Guardians lack of informing him on this also having been the case) and what his thoughts on this will end up being as such too since Hal and Supergirl have worked closely together prior themselves at least in accordance to that <I>The Brave and The Bold</I> arc which first featured the 2 paring up and all. :/<br /><br /><I>This issue also gives us the first sympathetic look at Alura in a long time. Here we see her break down a little when talking about Zor-El to Kal at an art gala. Alura has been unrelenting in her harsh personality in Supergirl so it was nice to see some of her humanity finally come forward.</I>Agreed. All though in having had said that I was really surprised that Alura didn't show her Earth hating persona attitude self as being the norm who's seen confiding in her nephew about the truly tragic loss of his Uncle that's still being felt by her (she didn't even loose it upon him referring a Kryptonian comparison to that of Earth even! WOW!!!) yet instead having what seemed to be this actual likable character who I could see myself have actual sympathy for in turn as being the outcome. Could it be? Are these actual signs of her actually softening up or more so the Green-K radiation side effects really kicking in now? :/<br /><br /><I>Then Kal sees Kara. It was nice to see this happy exchange between the cousins! Their relationship has just grown so much over the last year.</I>Oh in 100% total agreement with here! ;)<br /><br /><I>That said, it is hard to reconcile this carefree appearing Kara with the emotionally distraught hero in the <B>Supergirl </B> title. The last issue there she wished Alura dead. Here she seems happy that Kal, Alura, and her are 'together - a family'. It felt like a slight misstep but maybe she is simply overjoyed to see Clark.</I>Yeah, that had me at a loss what to make of too for it was a HUGE change from as you said her wishing her mother was dead to Lana come lastest issue out of her own title and had me really scratching my head as to what to make of this sudden change of heart now. :/<br /><br />Overall it was a really good issue except for the Guardians not willing to acknowledge Supergirl having been on 'New Krypton' PRIOR to her cousin as well as the 'all is forgiven' happier to see her mom and her cousin persona Supergirl deal too.<br /><br />P.S. I still think 'Tyr-Van' will eventually be revealed to be either yet ANOTHER Kryptonian cousin to Superman and Supergirl or even the secret younger son of Lara and Jor-El who has unknowingly exited the 'Survival Zone' (where Lara and Jor-El managed to escape in to BEFORE Krypton explodes and perhaps are still there) to willingly check out this 'New Krypton' for himself as well as being desperate in wanting to meet his younger brother as well as his elder cousin.
