Best of 2009 #3 - The Fans' Thoughts

I figured one last look back at the great year of 2009 was warranted, this time looking at the moments that folks here listed as their best moment of the year for Supergirl. When I said I was preparing my 'best of' list, I asked if anyone knew theirs. I loved the responses I got.

I think they are all great moments and deserve their moment in the sun, so here are 4 more 'best of' Supergirl moments from 2009 with credit given to the posters.

John Feer picked another moment from Cosmic Adventures for his best moment:

I like action, so Kara casually bursting the kryptonite chains Mxyie had foisted on her from Cosmic Adventures is my mark-out Supergirl moment from 2009.

That is another great moment from Cosmic and is an homage to the classic Neal Adams' cover of Superman #233. It is a big moment as the near omnipotent Supergirl defeats Mr. Mxyzptlk and sets things to right in the universe.



Gene picked another great Lana moment as his best of 2009.

Aside from her team up with Batgirl in World's Finest #3, I would nominate the panel towards the end of #42 when Supergirl asks Lana to call her Linda from then on.

This scene occurs right after the 'strongest girl of two planets' scene between the two. I think many of us are looking forward to seeing more Linda in the book. I want to see 'Linda' become the identity. I wonder if I simply have to wait until New Krypton ends.



Nikki, like me, thought that Supergirl standing up to her zombie father showed a new found inner strength. She simply quoted the scene she loved:

'and if you were really my father, I'd give a damn' *punch* from Blackest Night:Superman.

Eddy Barrows really does a great job on the art here, accentuating the brutality of the fight. I mean, Kara evicerates Black Lantern Zor-El in the last panel. But what I really liked was the first two panels showing only 'will' as Supergirl's resolve let's her ignore his hateful words. The subsequent rage seems like a natural extension of facing off against this abomination.


Talos liked the fact that Supergirl is still gaining new allies with her new attitude.

Hmm how about when we see Supergirl selflessly save Inspector Henderson's very life which leads him to believe that she's equally trust worthy as well as her cousin? :)

Another improvement on the title since Gates/Igle has been the addition of a supporting cast. Adding Henderson was great, giving Supergirl an insider in the police, her own sort of Jim Gordon. In the Superwoman arc, Kara saves Henderson from Superwoman. In return, Henderson takes down Reactron. That mutual rescue, mutual respect has set them up to be allies. I was glad to see him again this last issue.

And with that we bid 2009 adieu and move onto 2010!
