I love the contrast between Kara and Brainy- she looks so heroic and dynamic in the face of danger while Brainy looks scared out of his mind. Still, I hope the cover by Middleton will show up as a variant cover for issue 52. I wonder if DC wanted something more action orientated for the cover rather than the romantic comedy feeling of Middleton's cover?</i><br /><br />I remember reading somewhere that the Middleton piece posted on DC was really a rough piece for him, not a finished product at all. So I get the sense that will never be printed.<br /><br />I liked that cover as well.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50677889344234372022010-04-08T08:03:10.447-04:002010-04-08T08:03:10.447-04:00Matt Camp's cover for Supergirl looks excellen...Matt Camp's cover for Supergirl looks excellent!

Josh is very talented but usually I consider his work unsuited to Supergirl; the colours can be a tad muted and the figures lack dynamism - they have this wispy quality. <br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how Kara relates to Brainiac 5 given her interactions with 1 and 2.<br /><br />(I still can't get over how Brainiac is a combo of 'brain' and 'maniac' - it was decades before this was pointed out to me - and how fantastic that 'Brainiac' has entered the popular lexicon, along with 'Bizarro'.)Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-72014542346219598972010-04-07T13:20:23.843-04:002010-04-07T13:20:23.843-04:00That is a very "Helen Slater-esque" pose...That is a very "Helen Slater-esque" pose on the cover there.<br />As I recall HS would stiffen her back, throw out her fist in perfect allignment, cock her leg, point her toes (always the graceful girlie-girl don'cha know) and pull her other fist down and parallel to her emblem.<br />Or so I recall...<br />:D<br /><br />John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-81525637187160637652010-04-07T13:18:54.863-04:002010-04-07T13:18:54.863-04:00That cover looks cool!

I think Kara looks in control in both images, even tho in the latter brainy is holding her. i think she's just about to send him flying across the room, or at least push him away.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.com
