Then went back to the current timeline (at that time)without her daughter. <br /><br />He stated (and I'm paraphrasing loosely here)that he changed it from the Matrix outfit to the animated one because the head guys at DC wanted to do a continuity of the animated Superman TV show that had that white and blue version. and... <br /><br />"Was it an edict from DC so she would match the animated Supergirl that was on TV at the time?"<br /><br />Yes, in his view it was one of the many downfalls of the series: less loyal readers + less sales = a cancelled series that was deticated to continuning the Supergirl franchise. <br /><br />Thank Rao, we have Jamal and Sterling on these recent books.<br /><br />Thay're so deticated to hearing the fans' responses, and are BIG fans themselves, which is a plus for me.<br /><br />-ealperinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-81787100476541196362010-06-13T13:01:09.165-04:002010-06-13T13:01:09.165-04:00in context explanation was that Linda needed a cos...<i>in context explanation was that Linda needed a costume quickly and that one was in a looted costume shop next to where her fight was.<br /><br />But you probably already knew that and I definitely don't have any clever ideas on the editorial front.</i><br /><br />There had to be some editorial edict to change the costume.

Among them the two Linda Danvers/Supergirl TB's. <br /><br />After years of hearing the "critics" dump on it. I decided to give it a fair chance and as well as being curious what the fuss was about too.<br /><br />And much to my surprise I was actually drawn into the stories especially the Many Happy Returns storyline. <br /><br />I would love to get all of the Linda Danvers/Supergirl back issues available at my local comic book store but alas my budget is very tiny at this time. I can only afford to buy 3-4 comics a month at this time. Some I get by simply trading with a couple of other comic book readers in my area.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-78999017140452241072010-06-08T12:38:26.391-04:002010-06-08T12:38:26.391-04:00@Valerie, Yeah I've got those 2, I meant the r...@Valerie, Yeah I've got those 2, I meant the rest of the run.

Along with a good dose of fun and seriousness along the way. Plus PAD gets one to thinking about the "possible" power that maybe accessible only to Supergirl.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-79363243969093276332010-06-08T09:07:32.299-04:002010-06-08T09:07:32.299-04:00ahh i loved these issues! when are Dc gonna hurry...ahh i loved these issues! when are Dc gonna hurry up and release a trade pf PAD's Supergirl run?Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.com
