But instead I'll just add to the to the positive voices for this issue. Beautifully rendered, authentic characterization that doesn't fall into stereotyped cliches, and a heroine in the center who is trying to make sense out of all the sudden weirdness going on around her. Yeah, the shadiness of the coach had been telegraphed in a previous issue; but even here, there may be more to her than we know so far. Looking forward to what kara's decision will actually be in the next installment. <br /><br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-51613337621156178912017-05-01T18:24:12.651-04:002017-05-01T18:24:12.651-04:00This series has been so good.

It...This mini-series has been impressive so far. It's nice to see a Supergirl story having accolades from sites and reviewers that usually don't give a damn about the character. I hope the final issue is equally strong. If only the sales were a bit better...<br /><br />I thought the scenes where Kara is trying to deal with being an alien in addition to her friend's loss were very well done.<br /><br />And I liked when Jeremiah stood up for Kara. He isn't being portrayed like a stereotype. He is a tad eccentric, gruffy, doesn't know how to deal with his emotions... but he does care.<br /><br />Nonetheless, I laughed when he confronted Kara. Don't skip school. Because it's wrong? No, because then your teachers will snoop around our house and neither you nor I want that. Admitedly, a teenager is more liable to listen to that kind of logic.<br /><br />Coach Stone is evil? Geez, what a shock.<br /><br />Once again, Kara Zor-El shows when downright idiotic is making her lose her temper. She was so angry she didn't even think -or care- her eyes were firing beams.<br /><br />I was surprised -and a tad disappointed- when the Kryptonian specimen turned out to be another Kryptonian. I was expecting Kal-El, too. I wonder if Tamaki has read "Elseworld's Finest". <br /><br />Anyway, you can tell right away this is a completely different kind of meeting between Kryptonian survivors: when Kal and Kara meet there -usually- are hugs, sobs and smiles. Even if Superman does something dumb afterwards like dumping her into an orphanage. Nothing of that here.<br /><br />And Tan-On is quick to slight Kara's bond with her foster parents, telling they are not her family.<br /><br />I had the feeling that guy wasn't trustworthy right away.<br /><br />"But I love that she pauses about this being a stupid girl in a movie move. And Jones panel of Kara standing with leg bent leaning in, hand on the rock hard abs of Tan-On just screams Twilight or some similar movie."<br /><br />Kara is practically drooling over a guy she has just met and is obviously not good. Unfortunately, completely in character given the history of the character. Sigh. At least this encarnation is considering that listening to Tan-On may be a spectacularly bad idea.<br /><br />I wonder how the story will wrap up in the final issue. Kara will discover Tan-On's intentions and fight him? Will she become Supergirl, the First Hero (or I assume she will be the first one because there has been no mention of metahumans or empowered beings)? What is with LexCorp? Will we see Superman in the last issue, even if it's Kara finding his space-ship in an epilogue set several years later?<br /><br />Two months is a long time...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
