I love to hear all the views!<br /><br />Yota, I do agree there is a schizophrenic feel to Kara's moods. I wonder if that will play into the cure.

I really think she is angry at herself a bit.<br /><br />Lastly, great point Mart about the 'death clause'.<br /><br />It really reads like a 'kryptonite poisoning' explanation is being formed here.<br /><br />Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76538483227561505662014-01-24T19:17:45.504-05:002014-01-24T19:17:45.504-05:00Wow!

I see anger and sadness and brattiness, but I swear if she doesn't seem almost schizophrenic at times! I'd think that was a bigger concern than anything! Plus, I doubt that the Red Lantern arc with only be three issues, sorry. I think we've got to settle in for at least half a year...

And as for that tricky problem of Red Lanterns dying if they no longer embrace rage, perhaps Kara's already having died will provide a convenient out.

Nice.<br /><br />I do wonder if 'yellow sun fluctuations' will be this Supergirl's 'Kryptonite poisoning' - an excuse to explain stuff away.<br /><br />Certainly the idea of being brimming with white hot energy sort of resonates with rage and anger. Hot-headed as it were.<br /><br />And the idea of descending into Hell as part of this road to Red Lanterns makes metaphorical sense.<br /><br />Overall still a good issue.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-11287045763667783272014-01-24T08:38:01.777-05:002014-01-24T08:38:01.777-05:00I was wondering what you'd think of that final...I was wondering what you'd think of that final page, Anj. That dialogue is not what we really want to hear from her, in an ideal world! I do think this issue's progression made me think it made some sense and wasn't massively out of character. This Lobo is a brute and a bully and I'm not shocked she's angry at him after the state her mind was already in. I wouldn't want to be him right now...<br /><br />It seems to be implied in the early part of the issue that the recharging of Kara by the Sun from a depowered state makes her powers difficult to control and by extension, perhaps her state of mind too. I like this because it helps to setup the final scene after the fusion orb (and Shay probably knows this so she was taking a big risk... or didn't care) but also because this is now an effect we've seen all three New52 Kryptonians experience somewhat - Superman in SM/WW, Power Girl in Worlds' Finest. Superman was scared of himself in SM/WW 3, Power Girl described coming down from it as being like crashing after coffee IIRC, and now it looks like Supergirl's charged up so much she's about to pop like the cork on a bottle of champagne.<br /><br />Great art in this issue. Good all around from Cinar and lovely colours by Brown, but there are three art choices I particularly liked. One is Lobo's crossed fingers when he's 'dead' - that's cheeky. <br /><br />Then there's the fusion orb scene with Kara - it seems almost peaceful and she looks a little angelic in it. Contrast that with how Blaze's 'home' looks. It does look like hell, and I'd bet you my hat that the majority of next issue's action, including the main thing we're all anticipating, takes place there. Yeah, I can spot symbolism when I see it ;)AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.com
