It just seems a very busy, pretty basic zombie story. I was expecting something deeper, more original and surprising (ala Moore's big 'magic/spirit' epic in Swamp Thing, or the existential explorations found in Ostrander's Spectre)<br /><br />This was a decent issue though. The leader of the Indigo tribe has indicated elswhere that it would take all rings combined to end this. I imagine Hal Jordan (who has already worn multiple rings in the past) will be the while knight who chanels them all.Adam Smasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687670717599794960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7226000527937705002009-10-27T06:47:50.402-04:002009-10-27T06:47:50.402-04:00Barrows is NOT the artist on BL:Wonder Woman (than...<i>Barrows is NOT the artist on BL:Wonder Woman (thanks the gods- his art is okay here, but for the most part I reeeeally don't like it) the fabulous Nicola Scott is. <br /></i><br /><br />Thanks for the info.

Sure, she can be cruel and dismissive but when the chips are down she fights with a clear head and takes responsibility for her own. It was also gratifying to see that she trusts Kara to be able to hold her own in a fight. Alura and Kara made a good team.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-79515993435229434642009-10-26T10:40:22.664-04:002009-10-26T10:40:22.664-04:00I just thought.

As for Supergirl here, she was written well, a lot of people complain when SG is shown emotional but they forget she's 16. Reminds me of how many people complained back in MHR when Kara was afraid of dying after the Spectre shows them her future. I felt it was a good reaction since that was a 14 year old coming from a better place in all aspects. (I, however, as a long Supergirl fan felt that not fighting "rebel" and saying that "she deserved" was way off the character).<br /><br />ps: no costume change on #50 since Jamal told me that last night.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261901670458867682noreply@blogger.com
