I have a hard time just rolling with that. <BR/><BR/>That said, I should just sit back and enjoy Noto's art on this series.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-79551210877476627282008-11-13T04:50:00.000-05:002008-11-13T04:50:00.000-05:00Reign in Hell #4 - I still can't believe the b.s. ...<I>Reign in Hell</I> #4 - I still can't believe the b.s. DiDio has pulled thus far in saying that other then the first issue we supposedly have of yet still have yet to see more of our Linda as the title plays out. Well it's as of now #4 already and we still have yet to see such a claim come to light and this is really starting to peeve me off as such.<BR/><BR/><I>Adventure Comics Special Featuring the Guardian</I> - I take back all that I've said about Mr. Robinson and his reign on both main <I>Superman</I> title as well as his work thus far on "New Krypton" mega event arc at that! After re reading his <I>Superman</I> and current "New Krypton" work out it's actually all starting to pick up steam and starting to become a really fun run just like that of his <I>Starman</I> days prior. Heh. (I mean that out of no where shock of getting a 31st Century era Legion time lost member Tellus in this all? Now THAT was a real unexpected treat indeed! WOW!!!)<BR/><BR/><B>Jason said...</B><BR/><BR/><I>Yeah...it sucks that the Smallville powers-that-be basically decided to ditch Laura for being more dynamic than Tom's portrayal of Clark. Perhaps if they had let Clark learn to fly and act more heroic instead of being sulky and whiney, they wouldn't have had to worry about Kara overshadowing him. Still, that is not Laura's fault, and she should not have been discarded because of the producers' own decision to hold back the show's main character.

Or, barring even that have it that the Legion travel BACK in time WITH Supergirl proper (in costume and all) in order to help him against his battle against "Davis Bloome"/Doomsday himself! Then have it latter on Kara and Clark have some time alone where Kara informs Clark on her having found Kandor AND Argo City that in the Legions own time has been re colonized as the so called planet Roykn, A.K.A. New Krypton! And Rao willin' from there PTB at CW will indeed announce an all new live action Supergirl themed spin-off TV series wet for sometime early next year starring Laura in the lead of course! :D<BR/><BR/><I>Superman/Supergirl:Maelstrom #1</I> - Well, the jury is till out on this one but I suppose I'm willing to give it a fair try regardless at this stage. :/<BR/><BR/>P.S. Anj, sincerely awaitin' in much anticipation for that forthcoming review of <I>Action Comics</I> #871 official 4th installment of our here "New Krypton" arc itself ah!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and is there any chance you'd be willing to review <I>Justice Society of America</I> title henceforth too now that it has Power Girl officially back to being her Pre-COIE SA Earth-Two Kryptonian Kara Zor-L origin proper?
