On top of all this, it deepened the story making us wonder what's going on. What is up with Kara's coach, who was that held prisoner with Kryptonite cuffs, will more of Kara's memory come back? I hate we've got wait basically another two months for this. Loved this issue easily my fav title of 2017 so far.SG Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729772174303706226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-45508102385779550882017-02-27T19:13:34.525-05:002017-02-27T19:13:34.525-05:00I think I really needed this issue.

This is probably one of the only comics I've seen that does a job of actually portraying the grieving process instead of the characters lashing out and being complete assholes like certain *coughriseofarsenalcoughcough* have done.Jude Delucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192366186748612752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-58979495288921080842017-02-27T14:25:19.927-05:002017-02-27T14:25:19.927-05:00A very intensely somber chapter, with various myst...A very intensely somber chapter, with various mysteries unfolding throughout. The tragedy of Kara and Dolly's loss affects them deeply, and this is remarkably rendered by the combination of art and spare internal dialogue. I was totally drawn in by Kara's grief and confusion over why she couldn't save Jen from falling. All in all, another stellar issue of what is already proving to be a monumental SG series. <br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-33036568676338924552017-02-27T12:33:21.796-05:002017-02-27T12:33:21.796-05:00I am loving this series so far, writing teenagers ...I am loving this series so far, writing teenagers "realistically" is a daunting task and all the kids voices just "sound right" on the comic book page.

I didn't actually buy this one - I quite liked the first one ('quite' having a different value in the UK to the US), the craft was superb, but two months on I wasn't itching for more of an Elseworlds story so skewed towards a YA audience.<br /><br />It sounds great for what it is, but it's probably too slow, too much about the emotions, for an impatient old soul like me.<br /><br />That 'Be sa*e' page is indeed stunning.<br />Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-13619399255403413542017-02-27T08:46:44.525-05:002017-02-27T08:46:44.525-05:00I forgot...

Wow. When was the last time Kara's father of mother wasn't a terrible parent? 1985?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76900210414936969142017-02-27T08:41:53.571-05:002017-02-27T08:41:53.571-05:00I loved this issue.

It was intense and very tragic.<br /><br />When Dolly complained about the bracelets in the first issue, her mistrust seemed to be being played off as paranoia... but now it looks she was exactly right.<br /><br />Poor Jeremiah. He wants to help, but he doesn't know how. And he told Kara the "comes great responsibility" line! No "You should let those children die" parenting here.<br /><br />I scratched my head over "Be sage". I assume the letterer made a mistake. Or, in Silver Age slang, a "Boo-boo".<br /><br />The last two pages are chilling. It has to be Kal-El. And he's the primary subject? And Kara is the secondary? And he's begging her to help him, so he obviously knows she's around. And another page shows what seems to be Kal opening Kara's rocket like in the show...<br /><br />So, what does it mean? Kal arrived first after all but he didn't become Superman? He found Kara instead of the Danvers? But the Danvers behave as they found her ship, or so Kara seems to think.<br /><br />Or maybe it wasn't Kal who found Kara's rocket either, but whoever locked him down.<br /><br />We assumed the first scene of the first issue narrated Kara's arrival. What if it narrated Kal-El's arrival?<br /><br />Whatever the case may be, it seems clear someone found and captured Kal, they know of Kara's existence and are experimenting with her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
