I am starting to think this ...Thanks for comments.<br /><br />I am starting to think this will be the Silver Age Kara, a foil to the darker tone. But then put her in a blue skirt!<br /><br />I just hope she isn't there just to be the buffoon.<br /><br />Lastly, I guess i will just wait out the Superman story. Don't wantt to judge before reading.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-8316631551112736382015-04-25T23:04:44.728-04:002015-04-25T23:04:44.728-04:00My biggest complaint about the new Superman direct...My biggest complaint about the new Superman direction was the look. I've since gotten over that, and now I'm excited. I'd still prefer to read about a de-powered Superman for a while but still in a costume, but I know where the inspiration is coming from (Morrison's first Action arc), so I understand it. And I'll freely admit. I friggin love the bike. If he's gonna be street level, then go all out. And its red and blue! This just seems fun to me. I can roll with this for a year, give or take. <br /><br />The Lois thing is going to turn some people off enough to leave though, I think. Barring a massive twist which I'm not confident will come. I'm willing to ride it out as in all honesty my interest never has nor ever will hinge on Lois, but I know she means a whole lot to others.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-33434740680198576642015-04-25T16:11:03.552-04:002015-04-25T16:11:03.552-04:00Yeah, and I don't think that that's blood ...Yeah, and I don't think that that's blood dripping off his knuckles. If you look closely, that's actually red cloth wrapped around them. I'm so hoping that this new look of his is temporary.

DeMatteis said to me that it's 'the REAL Supergirl' - I asked him to clarify and he didn't, but he did tell someone else on twitter that 'This is THE Supergirl from Krypton'. For me that doesn't narrow it down to pre-Crisis Kara, but I think the clues you picked up on like the belt, the shorter hair and the body language do suggest Supergirl '59 over Kara '05 or Kara '2011. The thing on the cover of that issue behind the Starro soldiers also looks like it might be a version of her original purple-hued rocket.<br /><br />I'm not going to buy it unless the first issue of JL3K1 gets good reviews and I like the preview pages when I see them. Giffen's flippant attitude towards Matrix in his Convergence issues has not endeared me to him and I'm not even a Matrix fan! But I really do like Porter's depiction of Supergirl there. Aside from the cute body language and hair, I also really like how strong she looks on that cover, and the colourist (I assume it's HiFi) has gone right for the classic colour set and it looks awesome.<br /><br />I don't mind them using pre-Crisis Kara in their little corner of the DC Universe as long as they treat her with respect. I do still wonder what the absence of the current continuity Kara from any of the solicits means. JL United writer Jeff Parker did confirm that she is off the book 'for *now*', which echoes the final caption of Supergirl #40 so I think I'm justified in my earlier view that she won't be gone for too long. If she takes part in 'The Truth' I'll watch with interest but I'm not going to buy any of the Superman books. The crossover frequency is now greater than one every 12 months on the Superman line and it's just silly to encourage that kind of behaviour from DC, especially when none of the stories have really justified the expense.AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-33489881873456668792015-04-25T12:47:42.587-04:002015-04-25T12:47:42.587-04:00Supergirl looks like she is reacting to how DC has...Supergirl looks like she is reacting to how DC has treated her character in the last 30 years.<br /><br />GeneGenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-25334177331472774502015-04-25T10:08:06.302-04:002015-04-25T10:08:06.302-04:00I'm thinking that has to be a Silver Age Super...I'm thinking that has to be a Silver Age Supergirl in JLA3000. Giffen and DeMatteis have been allowed to bring in JLI members from a time pre-Infinite Crisis so I can't see anything stopping them using a pre-Crisis Supergirl.<br /><br />Many happy returns, returns?<br /><br />I trust these guys.<br /><br />As for a multi-part, multi-title Superman crossover, nope, not excited. The only thing I like is that Lois's supposed betrayal is couched in questioning language - there may be more to the story than early gossip sites claim.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
