As a result, the mini-series seems somewhat disjointed. As I have said before, the lesson Superman taught Supergirl was that she should open herself up to her emotions and to her place in humanity. But it did not appear she needed that lesson. And the locale of that lesson, given the inherent danger there, seems unwise.<BR/><BR/>The second is that there were some intriguing possibilities that could have been done with Maelstrom, a slave wanting to advance on Apokolips, but none were explored. As a result, all the scenes on Apokolips showing her torture, etc. don't seem warranted now.</I><BR/><BR/>Great! Not only was I unfortunately unable to get a copy of this title's concluding issue from my lcs this week around (they were still unloading even to closing time and during that whole time that I was there they still couldn't even find the specific shipping box that had this was stored in) but it seems the whole mini went out on whimper rather then a bang.<BR/><BR/>Aside form the top notch art what a complete and utter let down all in all. *Sighs*<BR/><BR/>Anyone think this'll be included in the next Supergirl trade due out sometime this year? :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-47506906491781899132009-01-09T08:53:00.000-05:002009-01-09T08:53:00.000-05:00Agreed, the c-grade is justified, the mini wanders...Agreed, the c-grade is justified, the mini wanders all over the map...five issues devoted to a story that couldn't been wrapped up easily in two. And in the end, Kara has her wits about her enough to put down Maelstrom the jobber down hard.<BR/>Can't really see what she LEARNED from her camping trip with Kal El that necessarily made the difference...<BR/>The artwork was interesting though...<BR/><BR/>John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
