It's like DC subtley deciding to acknowledge that Kara did exist in continuity before her Superman/ Batman reboot!<br /><br />I didn't like the Legion short. It should've been in a Legion Annual or anniversary with its tongue-in-cheek look at Clark's/ the Legion's origins. Especially since it contradicts the latest Origin mini for Kal-El. <br /><br />The art was terrible. I remember reading the arc in the 80's where Sgirl aided the Legion ... The classic scene where Brainiac 5 declares Kara "too damn distracting.". I loved Giffen's art and felt he drew Kara beautifully and very regal, worthy of Emerald Empress calling an unconscious Supergirl as "Sleeping Beauty". <br /><br />As for how Giffen's drew Kara here, it was probably laziness or uncaring. <br /><br />The only thing I liked was that it was acknowledged that Imra is fugly with her current hair style! (I wish there was a slight on the current ugly fashion choice by Projectra!)<br /><br />As for the fallen sales, it doesn't help that Kara was kick @$$ and confident at the beginning but in order to make her more "wholesome" DC seems to feel she must constantly make misguided choices, be confused and be whiny. A perfect combination of guts, wisdom, and strength was how she was depicted as Interceptor. <br /><br />Too often in her own title she is filled with self-doubt and insecurities. I thought we'd have finished that by now but before Gates left didn't seem to erase that but give her more. At least in Justice League, she seems stronger in character, and I'm pleased she's in the Neo-Trinity of Donna and Dick. <br /><br />With all the guest stars, at least DC seems to want to pull up the sales, and that she is becoming a greater part of the DC Universe as a whole!<br /><br />I don't know why it was mentioned Dark Kara would be of Earth-2 when that's still Kara as a Power Girl there. If Earth-3, wouldn't that have been Ultra Girl who was injured/ killed in Countdown as mentioned in the Superman Encyclopedia?<br /><br />As for Kara's belly shirt: I'm female and see nothing wrong with it. So what if her midriff is bared. If that causes sex appeal, so what! If you're going by her physical age caused by suspended animation, she's still like 18 or 19. In this day and age teens lose their virginity at 15 or younger; I'm not stating that's right or that young teens should be depicted as sex objects but that it's silly to go on about Kara as if she's too young to be sexy. Her costume doesn't have to come off as sex just because there's skin shown. Its not impractical as Phantom Lady nor anywhere as the excuse behind why PL wears it. <br /><br />Sorry for the rant, I'm just very ticked how Diana's costume was changed on the whim of some Quaker attitude, which is also hypocritical as she's now wearing g bondage straps and showing as much cleavage and detailed @$$ as before.Theresa Winterfieldsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-62243904346656116492010-10-27T11:07:41.985-04:002010-10-27T11:07:41.985-04:00Most innaccurate Legion origin ever?
