Hopefully the tremendous 'word of mouth' it is getting on the web will reach buyers. My store just put a little index card in front of it on the shelves saying something like 'an great all ages book truly for all ages'.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-87972376721322706192009-01-15T21:42:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:42:00.000-05:00I actually was made uncomfortable during some of t...I actually was made uncomfortable during some of this.

Brilliant writing and characterization by Landry Walker in my honest opinion, loved the revelation as to exactly WHO "Belinda Zee" is, and a real surprise easter egg added in for us longtime Supergirl fans that's garenteed to bring a smile to our faces at that! (but how could I have missed PAD's Supergirl reign's own God/"Wally" in the background??) Man this title just keeps getting better and better! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
