I had to look up you Wishnmaster reference. W...Hah. I had to look up you Wishnmaster reference. Well done.<br /><br />And before I discovered, using my advanced research skills, that Many Happy Returns was the Matrix storyline, what came to mind (mistakenly) were two holiday special stories, which turn out to be named All I Want for Christmas in DCU Infinite Holiday Special #1 (published Feb 2007), and the 1-pager Season’s Greetings in DC Universe Holiday Special #1 (Feb 09). I could live with Supergirl in a Santa hat, but I’m not sure about the beard! (Both appearances were good. Santa hat in both stories as it turns out. One was by Joe Kelly so it had his take and managed to feature the “kill Kal-El” version of Zor-El, but there were still good deeds and it ended well. Plus, Alfred served her milk and cookies.)<br /><br />Fifty foot Supergirl makes me think of mecha Dawn in the Buffy comic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-73628670575747060782018-04-16T14:48:34.549-04:002018-04-16T14:48:34.549-04:00“Careful what you wish for”
Lol, the last months ...“Careful what you wish for”<br /><br />Lol, the last months has been hard being a Supergirl fan. The only word of a life past the Man of Steel series was a weak hint that she would be involved in some titans team which we now know she won't be. Then silence, until this message which sounds like DC will give us a perverted genie version of what we really want. <br /><br />No DC, I don't want the Wishmaster version. When we want more Kara we don't want a "she is a clone" storyline. When we say we want her out of Supermans shadow, we don't want a 50 foot Supergirl. When we say we want her to have a good relationship with her cousin we don't mean Many Happy Returns.<br /><br />Goddammit, just try to reassure us everything will be great like you are with Superman. Let me know Bendis is here to save Supergirl too. I know she didn't need to be saved from Orlando, but anything that sounds like a bright tomorrow would be welcome.<br /><br />DC is as comforting as parents who turns off the light when you ask them to leave it on, then leave the room with the words "The monsters don't like it when we leave it on."<br /><br />This is not helping with my current fears.<br /><br />At all. <br /><br />:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-41962187511445425092018-04-16T09:41:08.844-04:002018-04-16T09:41:08.844-04:00There was a further comment from Brian Cunningham ...There was a further comment from Brian Cunningham (I have to give him credit for engaging with us): <br /><br />https://twitter.com/bcunningham71/status/985615228887908352<br /><br />"The upcoming stories are very strong, very Superman. I’m enjoying them a ton. Anything new is additive to what’s come before. Emotional gut-punches and real gut-punches combined to make entertaining comics. I couldn’t ask for more than that, as a reader."Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-87007874463815476872018-04-16T09:29:52.715-04:002018-04-16T09:29:52.715-04:00That twitter conversation IS ominous. “Careful wha...That twitter conversation IS ominous. “Careful what you wish for” ??!!

And SG #20 is practically a jumping-off point.<br /><br />Sales dropped slightly. I assume it's because people is already aware of the book's cancellation and is waiting for the trade.<br /><br />Let's hope for the best...<br /><br />... although this tweet is troubling:<br /><br />https://twitter.com/MartGray/status/984945222642819072<br /><br />Then again, it sounds like Marvel's classic pot-stirring tactics. We'd been said future revelations will stir Superman to the core, but it's been already leaked (won't spoil, don't worry) and it's not a big deal. Dumb and been done before, but not a big deal.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
