Anyway, great review, even if - as with out reviews of Superboy #12 last week - we have some disagreements.

There's been some good books this week from DC.<br />I appreciated the handling of the Superman/Supergirl relationship and can understand her attitude, on the one hand she's alienated by everything that's unfolded since she first woke on earth and on the other there is clearly a missing chapter in her life that she doesn't seem to fully appreciate the seriousness of - if she awoke on earth remembering being on Krypton only 'yesterday' and now learns that the Pod she was in was orbiting Earths sun for <i>at least</i> five years.... well, either she's got secrets or there's some sort of time distortion going on.<br /><br />I do like the idea of a fortress at the bottom of the sea! Maybe this is too isolated and will be a crutch if taken on as a regular haunt, but at least she's developing her own mythos and has independence. I can do without the dull Simon Tycho, a poor villain for anybody, but in Superman terms he's redundant. Forever a poor mans Lex Luthor.<br /><br />A big thumbs up for the continuingly excellent art and coloring, this issue seemed more energetic and fluid than usual though why the fascination with showing Kara's backside every other panel...!Dave Mullenhttp://www.comicboards.com/greenlantern/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-84542157741530467502012-08-17T13:03:01.303-04:002012-08-17T13:03:01.303-04:00Of course Kara's "I need your help Cousin...<i> Of course Kara's "I need your help Cousin Now Back Off!"

But I also thought this was a good step forward for both of them. <br /><br />I think it is a relationship in an awkward phase. Given her internal dialogue, I think she knows she needs Kal in her life.<br /><br />Maybe I am looking at it through rose colored glasses since I was afraid they would be enemies, or gunning for each other, which we have unfortunately seen in the past.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-70738016835525599122012-08-17T12:55:19.908-04:002012-08-17T12:55:19.908-04:00He isn't even Superman anymore, he has an acti...He isn't even Superman anymore, he has an action figure's costume design and his look suggests a back bench member of the X-Men.<br />Good to see Tycho back on deck, I expect a lot of him in the rogue's gallery department.<br />Of course Kara's "I need your help Cousin Now Back Off!"

I didn't like him in this issue and I'm glad she told him where to stick it. Superman certainly causes his share of destruction in the brawls featured in his issues, so he does seem quite the hypocrite for attacking Supergirl on those grounds. Hopefully Superman learns to treat Supergirl with respect and not come off in such a controlling, condescending way. <br /><br />I hope Supergirl gets to kick some butt in the crossover and that she saves the day. The crossovers emphasizing Superman's superiority got old very fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
