Shes like superman. shes a completely different race to humans and the GIRL OF STEEL. shes got the SAME POWERS AS SUPERMAN. and she deserves to be shown as powerful as he is.

This annual, this di...You haven't been far off. This annual, this direction, and this series have been God awful from the beginning. Speaking as a Titans fan, mind you, but just... using Ryan Choi as a sacrificial lamb in order to make Deathstroke's team look like badasses, the sheer amount of blood and gore (#25 opens with a woman who has a giant bullet hole in her forehead), Cheshire emotionally blackmailing Roy into joining, DRUGS MADE FROM CHILDREN... I don't even think I need to go on after that last one.<br /><br />One of the really annoying things about this annual is that it cements Osiris devolving into a Superboy-Prime rip-off. And Eric Wallace wrote the Power of Shazam Blackest Night tie-in, where he managed to go out heroically. Granted, it didn't make much sense as there were scenes in the background of the main BN book with Osiris killing people.<br /><br />And with Jericho... J.T. Krul fixed him in the BN tie-in issues of Teen Titans, and then Wallace made Jericho dying just so he could fix him. This whole series has been gearing towards Eric Wallace fixing a character that he broke in the first place, right after Jericho was fixed again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-41847738422672649362011-07-12T23:58:02.089-04:002011-07-12T23:58:02.089-04:00Well this reviewer could care less about Roy and I...Well this reviewer could care less about Roy and I could really care less about Supergirl.

I think that jumping into this title made me a bit harsh in my critique.<br /><br />Anyways, for the story to continue Deathstroke 'needed' to win but the whole thing seemed a little skewed.

Although the shadowing is very awkward in the kryptonite seen, it's much better than the shorts-under-skirt look.<br /><br />She should not be getting smacked around by these clowns though, nor Killer Croc. There should be some danger and she shouldn't win every fight either. I guess I'm ok with losing to Livewire. Livewire did kick her butt pretty badly in "Girls' Night Out" and in the team-up with Batgirl, she described electric based attacks as a weakness of hers. I don't like how it was done, however. Livewire asking how much more can you take with a path of destruction behind her implies she had been kicking Supergirl's butt around the city. Supergirl is running from her, Supergirl's attack is easily laughed off, and Livewire strengthens her attack knocking Supergirl out, implying that during the previous beating she had given Supergirl, she was only toying with her and could have knocked her out at anytime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-86859711345032973202011-07-10T00:06:57.638-04:002011-07-10T00:06:57.638-04:00Wow crappy summer for Supergirl eh?

Wow. I have more interest in this f...Hello, stupid. Wow. I have more interest in this fight than I should, since it involves so many former New Titans. It's kind of neat seeing Dick (who finally became Batman) fight his old friend and one time successor Roy (who couldn't even hold up as Red Arrow,) but there's no way Arsenal could go any kind of distance in an actual fight.<br /><br />Osiris could maybe handle Supergirl for a while, and Cinder might give Starman a bit of a hassle. Deathstroke at prime fitness could take on Congorilla, the Atom and even Donna Troy. However, I don't see how the Tattooed Man could manage to be a problem for Jade, and that's where everything falls apart.<br /><br />See, any one of the Leaguers could take Cheshire or Arsenal in fairly short order, which means doubling up on the already thin ranks of the Titans. Cinder and the Tattooed Man follow soon after. That pretty much leaves Slade and Osiris, so the only remote chance for victory is if Isis joins in, and even then, it's really tough to see Donna, Supergirl and Jade not handling that bunch. The numbers, skills and powers just do not add up in any logical way.<br /><br />More importantly, once you reach the point where the Atom is vowing to avenge Ryan Choi and the League come in, it's time to wrap it up. This needed to be the big finale to the Titans overarching story, not an opportunity to punk the League, including two members about to relaunch solo series. Roy's got a team book and Slade a solo of his own, so you have them escape and safe face. You do not crap on everybody else to maintain a Titans team that gets canned in August.<br /><br />Final note: Kryptonite sword? No. Stop. Shut up. Where does Slade get that much of an alien mineral, and once its unsheathed, how long before Superman shoves it up Slade's pooper? That's definitely too obvious to be clever, and harkens back to the old days when every other hoodlum had a glowing green rock in his pocket.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-42569227604738256852011-07-09T14:03:47.288-04:002011-07-09T14:03:47.288-04:00Well Orion was dumped in the garbage...
