I really, really, really wish they would redesign her costume though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-4184113955898240182017-06-22T13:03:29.236-04:002017-06-22T13:03:29.236-04:00Steel and Lana together for almost a decade!

But the writing is on the wall for at least 'taking a break'.<br /><br />And I agree, Lana needs to begin trusting people more. Probably the biggest theme for this book right now.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35906806910012984802017-06-22T09:28:27.724-04:002017-06-22T09:28:27.724-04:00A pretty enjoyable issue, but Lana's isolation...A pretty enjoyable issue, but Lana's isolationism and hubris is really annoying. She should have shared the information with John and Natasha, both more experienced than her in the hero game, and everyone could have gone in together, checking one another's anger.<br /><br />My guess is that of the extra decade returned to the DCU by Superman Reborn, Lana has spent it with the Irons. I do hope her 'electric adventuress' moments from Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder's Action Comics still happened.<br />Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-21122441085430810662017-06-22T08:44:06.120-04:002017-06-22T08:44:06.120-04:00"This review has been pushed back because DC ..."This review has been pushed back because DC continues to put out 4 Superman titles in the same week."<br /><br />Yes, we already agree on it being a comercially suicidal strategy.<br /><br />"That doesn't mean I think we can just move forward. The post-Reborn world is confusing."<br /><br />Heh. That's an understatement. I don't know anymore what stories count and which ones have been retconned out. It's incredibly confusing and frustrating.<br /><br />"And I preferred this Renato Guedes variant cover for my collection."<br /><br />I'm very grateful to Guedes for starting the trend of drawing Post-Crisis Supergirl like a human being instead of a stick figure with boos and a ridiculously short skirt.<br /><br />This book has improved a lot since the first awful story arc. Lana is still flawed but more likeable, and we're delving into seldom explored sides of Metropolis.<br /><br />Lana and John breaking up? I find it likely, but maybe Lana is heading for a realization that she's been an awful partner, she'll have a heart-to-heart talk with John and they'll make up.<br /><br />Anyway I've got the feeling that the Superman books are about to undergo another shake-up. Sales have dropped, a big event is approaching, and we've been told the incoming storylines are apparently going to shake both Super-cousins to the core.<br /><br />I'm frightened because I don't trust DC to NOT do something stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
