While I also didn't care for his Batman, I will say King's Superman Up in the Sky was one of the best Superman stories I've read in a loooooong time. It was excellent. If he can do a series like that for Kara it could be epic.<br /><br />I'll also say that the line there of "Wherever she goes, people only see her through the lens of Superman’s fame." I think that is just the feeling of the people who've been on charge at DC in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-30594168899144456272021-03-05T01:12:52.367-05:002021-03-05T01:12:52.367-05:00I love comming here and seeing I am not alone and ...I love comming here and seeing I am not alone and I am actually quite sane in my takes.

We saw the characters potential in the original one that died in the crisis.<br /><br />They have been so occupied with adding flaws and weaknesses to make the new version "interesting" that it just feels banged up and far away from Super.<br /><br />If we ever get a comic where Supergirl makes the big reveal to Kal that: "Hah, I tricked you, I am not your cousin. It was me - Lesla Lar all along! Your real cousin is trapped in the Phantom Zone". I'd be: "Well that does make sense"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-30704020572513916142021-03-03T20:01:42.075-05:002021-03-03T20:01:42.075-05:00Well, there's certainly a suspense factor invo...Well, there's certainly a suspense factor involved in the announcement and solicitation of this new Supergirl mini-series. Big selling point for me will be Bilquis Evely on artwork. King being the writer is the 'suspense' portion, because it certainly isn't the story's surface premise. Really smacks of a mediocre scenario that's already been played out before....however, maybe it's intentional, and merely a red herring to hook potential readers in. <br /><br />I'll keep my feeling optimistic for now, since King did cite his Superman Up In The Sky book, which was well received. Hope he can accomplish something similarly inspiring with Supergirl as well. <br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-47207152519136566532021-03-03T19:51:31.282-05:002021-03-03T19:51:31.282-05:00To be honest, this sounds a lot like Supergirl goi...To be honest, this sounds a lot like Supergirl going into space looking for who blew up Krypton, in the last Supergirl run. Which killed the book for me. A space adventure for Supergirl isn't a bad idea, but enough, is enough of this angst filled stuff. Maybe we'll be surpirsed, and Kara will be a beacon of help, hope, and kindiness in this book but I have my doubts.

Firt King destroyed Vision, then he cucked Batman and killed any hope of BatxCat being happy ever now we're moving to Supergirl and we're going for something even worse than Marguerite did. Jesus Christ, if anyone's the Jesus of the DC universe, it's Kara, she's just taking on all the worst executive decisions and just takes it in strides, so that others may be spared. At this point the CoIE#7 cover holds a very different meaning : Superman doesn't cry over the sacrifice of the greatest heroine in that event, he cries over what the entire staff of DC wants to do with her for the next 40 years.<br /><br />Just give Supergirl to someone outside of the damn company already, people CLEARLY are either allergic to writting about a blonde and happy girl with aspirations that has the same powers as Superman. Amy Wolfram and the DC SHG roducers knew how to do it, Lauren Fast knows how to do it, a bit, heck even Japan does Supergirl better. In fact, in the last 10 years, Japan has done Supergirl better, TWICE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-19296729277291930732021-03-03T14:07:01.538-05:002021-03-03T14:07:01.538-05:00I won't be touching this until it's been v...I won't be touching this until it's been vetted by you and Martin. Remember King's Booster Gold who was obviously mentally disabled and had a characterization never seen before? Howzabout a Wally West who covered an accident with evil actions? A Selina Kyle who let herself be manipulated by Bane in just a few sentences? I haven't read the Adam Strange series the reviews showing Adam as a lying war criminal and Alanna as a manipulating murderer turns my stomach. I will read no future Tom King stories without multiple opinions I trust saying he hasn't shat all over the characters to tell a story that character has no business being in. Why couldn't it be Tom Taylor like a misread in the article's headline?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878013590983091300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-48000272527500459172021-03-03T12:37:07.247-05:002021-03-03T12:37:07.247-05:00That there is a problem for Supergirl finding a pl...That there is a problem for Supergirl finding a place on the same planet as her cousin is the biggest lie DC ever told. She literally stepped out of the ship in the 50s and immediately found her own way to help Earth. 60 years later and Earth is a man's world. That's modern DCs shitty narrative. Nothing else. <br /><br />It's the opposite. Kal and Kara are best together. DC has been in the business for ages and literally everyone else but the current main comic line editors knows this.<br /><br />I don't mind her flying away on a space quest when the call comes, but that's the reason. She sees a problem elsewhere that is important too. It's not because Superman hogs all the people in need. At least it shouldn't be.<br /><br />The Kara jealousy against Kal is complete hogwash. Just throw that narrative in the garbage where it belongs. Throw it and bury it with the angry vengeance Kara. Kara isn't female Punisher. She is the very opposite of the Punisher. <br /><br />Is she hurting for her loss, yes! But her response to that isn't falling into darkness. It is spreading the light. <br /><br />Now to Tom. I don't know. He can write for sure, but is he the most suited for Kara? Maybe, but based on my gut feeling I don't think so. It all depends on whether DCs editorial has finally realized that they aren't selling their take. They have delivered the arguably two worst arcs in Supergirls history in a row.<br /><br />Now did Tom come with an arc to return her to character, or did editorial just think that the problem was not having a famous enough writer to sell their bad take? <br /><br />We'll see. I keep hope up. The sword is a bad omen. After the last arcs even Krypto is a bad omen.<br /><br />Claiming a character defining arc is a really bad omen. It speaks of cluelessness to 60 years of history. It speaks of hubris and defiance of the fans. Readers decide what is character defining. Without our approval it is just a repeated narrative held by their own office. <br /><br />Selling it with Kara "giving up because Kal" is a dead in the water bad omen. Like the worst of omens.<br /><br />But. That art looks great. Bilquis. Perfect. But art can't sell a comic on its own. Shitty personality Kara looks bad in every color.

Another space quest. Another pointy object. More Krypto as moral compass?<br /><br />Please, no post-Argo PTSD. <br /><br />Can’t we have the Supergirl who loves Earth, and has friends, and gets on with her family? Brian Bendis did a great job with her, but this sounds more in tune with the ‘orrible Superwoman book. <br /><br />I do agree that BE is all win, I loved her work on Sugar & Spike hugely.
