After all didn't H'El "gifted" Kara with the instant ability to understand English?<br /><br />I also wonder when the H'el arc is done will there be traces of the dark side he appears to be bringing out of her.

Sterling Gates had an alphahedron during his run.<br /><br />And great point about the 5 stages of grief. I agree that Kara's journey is one of grief and this would be 'bargaining'.<br /><br />Turns out that Asrar did some pencil only pages here (he usually inks them all). That may explain some of the art differences this issue.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-61582344283343665562012-12-21T21:57:37.631-05:002012-12-21T21:57:37.631-05:00I think Asar needs to have some else ink his penci...I think Asar needs to have some else ink his pencils.

Kara should have been more suspicious.<br /><br />Though with regards to the megapowercrystal... That was only said to power the city. The stasis is Brainiacs work and probably uses some other sort of powersource. So I can't quite see Supergirl removing the Kryptonian power source as risking their lives.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055675095443418258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-89082806153853561962012-12-21T12:38:30.187-05:002012-12-21T12:38:30.187-05:00I wonder if Supergilr's vulnerable to HÉL due ...I wonder if Supergilr's vulnerable to HÉL due to still going through the Five Stages of Grief? ( Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and acceptance in no particular order. Kara's been through Depression, and is currently in Bargaining, trying to find some way to reverse the loss of Krypton. It explains why she's so vulnerable to H'EL, and also explains her behaviour to Clark. ( she thinks Clark doesn't WANT Krypton back, and is actively trying to prevent it) As for Superboy, I'll point out that Kara would have been brought up in an atmosphere that was highly prejudiced against clones; yet, Kara has shown signs of at least tolerating Kon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-1494553535595836782012-12-21T12:10:40.688-05:002012-12-21T12:10:40.688-05:00Yes, that would be classic!
