It was also somewhat reminiscent of when Kara used her speed to her advantage all the way back in the first arc when she fought Wonder Girl.<br /><br />I'm really excited to see where the rest of this story goes!<br /><br />On a side note, Tiny Titans was great this week and I hope Anj likes it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072418659660698408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-1302197171451404502010-08-19T22:24:13.273-04:002010-08-19T22:24:13.273-04:00I LOVED THIS FREAKIN' ISH!!!!
First: Kara esca...I LOVED THIS FREAKIN' ISH!!!!<br />First: Kara escapes of one the bestest cliffhanger's I've seen in years The Old Bizarro Solid-vision Doom! And she even used some of her aforementioned training to do it...Very kewl if a bit silver-agey.<br />Second: One word, say it with me, KARATHARSIS! Yes SG hits BG and she stays good and hit and then she uses her science-girl wits to put the kibosh on her clone!<br />Third: Okay not cool that she smacked Dr. Light but CLEARLY Supergirl is suffering from major post traumatic stress...She made the right decision (Fix Bizarro-girls problem) but executed clumsily (cold cocked Dr. Light). To me that is an example of good Supergirl writing in that she has good instincts but lacks the experience to implement in a nuanced fashion. She could have used a sleeper hold on Dr. Light or just tried to persuade her, but like a kid thinks, she couldn't take a chance on "no" and thought with her firsts instead.<br />Honestly, Supergirl is best written & best drawn "super" title out there, this issue confirms it.<br />This is literally the Supergirl comic I dreamt off during the locust years when DC decreed her out of continuity and all but banished her fans at gunpoint...<br />I can give it no higher praise.<br /><br />John Feer<br /><br />John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-88420486634672871412010-08-19T21:06:43.411-04:002010-08-19T21:06:43.411-04:00I just hope DC Comics doesn't continue the xen...I just hope DC Comics doesn't continue the xenophobe story lines and atmosphere much longer especially in the Superman and Supergirl stories. Most everyone I meet at the comic shop is reading between the lines that the xenophobia and the Earthlings seeing the aliens as a threat as preaching and reflecting our own world's politico way too much. And it's turning them off big time and some have admitted they have already dropped Superman.<br />The "Grounded" story line isn't working for Superman. <br />Though they are starting to pick up Supergirl more because in her case she is looking inward and self examining her own soul. So far I have manage to "turn on" a couple of new readers on to Gates/Igle's version of Supergirl. The one guy is now actively searching for and getting all of those back issues for his own collection.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-66930285073252382282010-08-19T17:24:39.732-04:002010-08-19T17:24:39.732-04:00I like seeing glimpses of Supergirl's training...I like seeing glimpses of Supergirl's training with the veteran heroes. It harkens back to when she was first reintroduced. I'm glad we're not forgetting that she really did train and learn from the other DC heroes. Though I do think the vibrating through the shell is a bit deux ex machina. I like the new update to Supergirl's origin blurb too. I like the art. I really am digging Supergirl's shorter haircut. I agree the punching of Dr. Light seems so unnecessary. I think that kind of good guy vs. good guy because it's two superheroes meeting is just so cliched now.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-47947467968703036372010-08-19T15:22:10.250-04:002010-08-19T15:22:10.250-04:00That Flash flashback was a nice touch, like the Ba...That Flash flashback was a nice touch, like the Batman one last year when Supergirl fought Reactron. <br /><br />I agree that the punch to Dr. Light was a bit much. It seems that Sterling likes to toss things from left field at us at the end of an issue.
