I figure the art is going to be hit or miss given the style.<br /><br />I thought there were enough new-ish bits that it felt a little fresh to me. I do think there is a lot of Earth and American in this retelling. <br /><br />As you say French fan, there is a lot to get through next issue. Hope it wraps up in a way to satisfy most readers!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-58027466210145516122022-04-11T16:35:58.277-04:002022-04-11T16:35:58.277-04:00I’m with JF, the art really is offputting at times...I’m with JF, the art really is offputting at times. Were it weird and consistent, it wouldn’t be so annoying at times. That Kara really should have been sent back to the drawing board; at least Lara’s longer hair made her look less mannish. <br /><br />The story is less problematic, but this issue didn’t have a lot of surprises, to help justify spending my money on a retelling of the very familiar basics. The pace was too speedy, with too much room given to the riots – we’ve had enough of that last time. <br /><br />Well done on connecting this issue to The First Batman, I’m really not keen on Jor-El donning a version of the classic Superman costume… The symbol of the costume should be the creation of Martha Kent, that’s it. None of your House of El business, or ‘Kryptonian’ symbol for Hope’ daftness. <br /><br />Sorry, I sound down on this issue, I didn’t hate it, it just didn’t excite me as some of the others have.
