I suppose this is immediately after the mongul storyline in Batman/Superman but before Red Lantern Kara.<br /><br />And Rocafort did seem less slick.<br /><br />Oblique, the Clan system on Warworld was an interesting concept. But I have to say I don't know if I understand it enough to appreciate it. It is another problem with a rushed issue.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-41400901963773973932014-03-13T17:43:20.872-04:002014-03-13T17:43:20.872-04:00Hey Anj!

I didn't mind the end, exactly, because I really liked Jochi and the factionalism of Warworld (I don't know if he's ever appeared before in comics or not but I thought it made Mogul/Warworld much more interesting to me. His seeming death at Mogul's hands was tragic!)<br />@Thomas Hayes, I try not to focus too much on the timeline of comics, especially annuals or one-shots that float in the continuity pretty loosely. I agree that it seems impossible to place it, but, c'est la vie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-21869095167041858652014-03-11T09:39:22.042-04:002014-03-11T09:39:22.042-04:00I liked this one, but I have similar criticisms to...I liked this one, but I have similar criticisms to you Anj, it was a bit rushed and the reflection on Superboy and Damian did seem a little light. My other gripe is that Wonder Woman feels a bit cold - why call Kara 'girl'? They've met before and she knows her name! Although Diana must have some confidence in her to trust Kara with her sword.<br /><br />Other than that I liked it a lot. I've been here or there on Lee's art before but I loved it here. Rocafort seemed a little less polished than usual and Tan was much rougher than the other two, but most of the art was good. I liked Rocafort's depiction of Kara and Jason. Finally having a Rocafort-drawn Supergirl who isn't spouting Lobdell's drivel is so refreshing!<br /><br />The other thing, which I'm trying not to think TOO hard about, is where this story fits on all the heroes' personal timelines, especially Supergirl's. It's got to be after Krypton Returns, obviously. And according to the editor's note it's before the current events in Wonder Woman, which I don't read so I don't know if that seems odd. But trying to work out where in Supergirl's timeline this story belongs is a real headscratcher. If it's after Superman #25 but before Supergirl #26, it raises the question as to why the supercousins are getting on so well, given her state in SG 26 and 27. It can't be set 'now' in Supergirl's own series timeline because she's a Red Lantern now. So... is it in the future? I'm definitely not complaining about the way Pak wrote her, it's good to see them getting along, but it's still something that raises a few questions.AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.com
