He started putting together a Supergirl centered arc with Brainiac, and this month I could almost hear the needle-scratch as he quickly ended the whole thing so he could step aside and not leave too many dangling threads.<br /><br />I hope this doesn't turn out as tropey and cliched as this issue and the previews of upcoming issues seems to indicate.Gearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-15218075424481525582019-11-22T07:53:17.583-05:002019-11-22T07:53:17.583-05:00Great comments.

Let Supergirl have two comics: "Supergirl" which is the hope, help and compassion for all version that we love, and "Supergirl the Infected" which is the shitty version for edgy writers and editors and people who believe that brainwashed teens in latex is good comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-67971469062695733652019-11-21T11:15:10.072-05:002019-11-21T11:15:10.072-05:00"Why is this still going on in February? &quo..."Why is this still going on in February?

The cover showing Supergirl and Wonder Woman stuck in the same pickle instead of pummeling each other all over again actually surprised me. I have some hope that Jody Houser will do right by the character, even if just about everybody else isn't.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156649942516184216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-33591293894762409452019-11-21T03:55:59.647-05:002019-11-21T03:55:59.647-05:00The Threeboot Legion had a teenage genius, M’rrise...The Threeboot Legion had a teenage genius, M’rrisey, who handled logistic and accounts. <br /><br />I don’t know if she was ever a fan, but Roy Thomas based Firebrand II on his wife Danette (later Dann).

If Superman becomes corrupt, we know it's temporary-because he's Superman. But if Supergirl turns evil, who knows? It could be permanent. We've recently seen her come close to killing. DC's history with the character these last 30 years doesn't engender much confidence that she will be treated right.<br /><br />Nice to see Ivan Reis back on Superman.<br /><br />I don't remember what comic character was based on Richard Morrisey. "Jerry Thomas" in Justice League of America 16 (volume 1) combined the names JERRY Bails and Roy THOMAS, and "Guy Gardner" came from GUY Lillian (a fan and frequent letter writer), and GARDNER Fox. Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon comic strip featured a football player named Thud Shelley, based on Shel Dorf. Caniff modeled 2 characters on his friend (and WW 2 hero) Phil Cochran: Flip Corkin in Terry and the Pirates, and General Philerie in Steve Canyon.Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-41792149248979531292019-11-21T00:29:07.671-05:002019-11-21T00:29:07.671-05:00I do not want to see Supergirl become the Superman...I do not want to see Supergirl become the Superman family's Jason Todd. However, the promo doesn't say that Wonder Woman has completely run out of ways to bring her back to her senses. Also, the cover shows her helping Wonder Woman try to stop innocent people from being killed-much more like her usual self.

Cliched? Stupid? Yep, so an unassailable guess."<br /><br />I really, REALLY want to have faith that Jody Houser will know better than to write something along those lines. (I say "want to," because I've been burned too many times by DC in the past to regard any bit of news with anything aside from bone-weary cynicism.) Although I'm inclined to doubt they'll go for the "ME ALWAYS WANTED TO BE BAD HURR HURR HURR" trope, since the official synopsis for SUPERGIRL #37 has a line somewhere about Kara "accepting this new version of herself with pride."<br /><br />Maybe Kara performed some kind of action during her first hours post-"evilled" that was so reprehensible, allowing her conscience to be restored would be too emotionally devastating for her to bear? Almost a distant echo of the attempted rehabilitation scene between Batman and Joker towards the end of THE KILLING JOKE, where the Joker flat-out confesses that coming back to the light would be downright unthinkable for him at this point. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll admit the idea of Supergirl not necessarily being instantly cured, but instead becoming an "anti-villain" in the same vein as Jason Todd/Red Hood (as I've heard some online rumors about future issues toss around), has...possibilities. At least it could promise a longer story arc I'd be more interested to read.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156649942516184216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-17473222204124914602019-11-20T09:20:16.472-05:002019-11-20T09:20:16.472-05:00The ‘unexpected truth’ will be that Supergirl welc...The ‘unexpected truth’ will be that Supergirl welcomed the infection, because deep down she wants to be Dark. Cliched? Stupid? Yep, so an unassailable guess. <br /><br />Oh, I’ve just read the following par of your piece and we’re on the same wavelength. There you go!<br /><br />I’m not a JR JR fan either but, stupid Bat-ears apart, I thought his recent Batman work was excellent. <br /> <br />Congratulations again on becoming a fan-turned-DC character, joining the likes of Jerry Bails and Richard H Morrisey. I wonder if your dying words will be ‘this time I’m right’!<br /><br />I need Kandor back, toss them in the nearest Lazarus Pit... maybe their alien physiology will mean they’ll avoid the usual temporary madness.
