I mean, after you make Batman the spawn of the literal transdimensional incarnation of evil throughout the multiverses, where can you go, who can you use anymore? It's done, everyone gets jobbed out unless you wear plot armour or you're an overcompensation of a writer that tries to outdo Kirby in the cosmic stuff which is already very tiresome and overused.<br /><br />At this point it really feels like people just choose a superhero they like to work on and just superimpose their fanfiction on them while they drag characters nobody but the fans like and have to reinvent them again because they really can't think of what adventures someone who's been in comics for nearly 60-70 years as a character can do anymore. And the irony is, they have already rebooted the damn thing so many times and still have problems.<br /><br />Kara is just another one of the victims but it's not like the newer guys are any better, John and Damian's EXCELLENT adventures got cut and when you try to look at new stuff, they basically copy Marvel at this point except with different powers and don't even try to be imaginative with the powers.<br /><br />At this point it might be better to take a break from new comics and focus on expanding the side-digital comics and collect the older issues we're missing from our collections. Perhaps even scavenge hunt for the Supergirl animated series that never fully got into production, that would be interesting.Red Foreverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727548357626208423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-33600515236692128892018-06-04T18:47:22.278-04:002018-06-04T18:47:22.278-04:00"Jobbed Out Again"....when is this meme ..."Jobbed Out Again"....when is this meme gonna get discarded?

I liked his more ‘I’ll force good onto people, even if through Machiavellian law’ approach.

(Most of that in Green Arrow Annual #2.)<br /><br />On her final descent back to earth, she's sent by Batgirl to the Arctic, but she can't detect Green Arrow because he's busy being frozen.<br /><br />Vril Dox has teleported in by then, just after the Omega Titans but before the Justice League, and he clobbers Supergirl.<br /><br />Maybe all this is obvious? Gah!<br /><br />But to your larger point: Supergirl does get put out of commission pretty often. I griped about her treatment in the Superman: Revenge arc. She was portrayed as foolish with Power Boy (that one goes waaaay back), manipulated by Darkseid, and duped by H'El.<br /><br />But she was effective in New Krypton (thank you Sterling Gates), and a strong presence in The Brainiac arc and The Final Days of Superman, etc. (I'm skipping around my versions of Supergirl, but if the point is how DC approaches the character, I think that's fair.) She's been a strong teammate in JL United, JL 3001, Legion of Superheroes, and Crucible. And much else.<br /><br />Recently, she's doing well in some "elseworlds": Had a really terrific arc in Gotham City Garage, and comes out okay (so far, the story isn't over yet) in Injustice 2.<br /><br />So it's a mixed bag.<br /><br />While I thought No Justice was a lame story, certainly devised just to move pieces into place for the spin-offs, it has taught me to be cautious when approaching greenery.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-43657166922587365842018-06-04T09:12:46.185-04:002018-06-04T09:12:46.185-04:00When I first heard about this event, I didn't ...When I first heard about this event, I didn't expect Kara to show up. I told myself "Don't get your hopes up. She's been missing from most events since Convergence, at least".<br /><br />Then I read DC Nation #0 and I was excited. "Hey, maybe she plays some role after all! Like in Final Crisis!".<br /><br />Yes, no. She showed up only to be gunned down by Vril Dox, who is a bigger jerk than ever. I guess I should be glad to see her teaming up with Batgirl, but... Why was she even in this series? And what happened after she bumped into the Omega Titans in the beginning?<br /><br />How disappointing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
