Maybe this turn of events in Russia leads her to defect to the US.<br /><br />2) Gary, yes there is some cheesecake. But it isn't unrelenting like in some other books. <br /><br />3) Mart, maybe the amazons killing the airmen is a device to differentiate Diana?<br /><br />4) John, I think that the creators are a bit stuck given the designs of the statues. A Batwoman ballplayer 'had' to happen.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-5805105663642200352015-08-16T16:59:11.628-04:002015-08-16T16:59:11.628-04:00Unimpressed, "Batwoman" seems equal part...Unimpressed, "Batwoman" seems equal parts fan service and preciousness (masked female baseball players....), Wonder Woman is the same old semi homicidal swordswoman and Supergirl is a Soviet Pilot?<br />Dunno I have my doubts.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-74074107837311297902015-08-16T12:54:14.085-04:002015-08-16T12:54:14.085-04:00The up-skirt shot of Kate on page one seemed a bit...The up-skirt shot of Kate on page one seemed a bit cheesecake to me.garybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637500979727068557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-12448900879679122842015-08-16T05:38:41.734-04:002015-08-16T05:38:41.734-04:00Glad you enjoyed this, Anj - the only thing I wasn...Glad you enjoyed this, Anj - the only thing I wasn't happy with was the Amazons' slaughter of the airmen.

It's upsetting there's no solo book for Supergirl, at least we have a version of her here - and maybe one that isn't first shown as full of rage and angst and so on.<br /><br />Also, of note, since this is a Digital First book, all of The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl/ Supergirl is out digitally for purchase, as well as Matrix's mini-series, some of Linda Danvers, and Pre-Flashpoint Supergirl, Adventure Comics of the Legion featuring Supergirl, Power Girl's series, Showcase mini and more!

We also have on the latest round of Bombshells covers Power Girl with Superman, so I wonder if they'll come to play in this series. Also, Supergirl is portrayed much older than what the series portrays, and this is especially seen in the Tonner Character Figure of her. I didn't like her costume that much but seeing it on the doll, as well as on some Cosplayers has changed my mind.
