I decided to give them another shot, and hopefully this time it will be a better experience. Supergirl has improved as a character since issue 20. I'm not sure if DC Comics pays attention to the boards (I saw Jamal Igle is on there), but I do want to let them know I love Supergirl 34! And to let them know I'm for Kara keeping her secret identity!hhghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434899477662067857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-64959419958888147002008-10-08T08:42:00.000-04:002008-10-08T08:42:00.000-04:001.

And it reminds me why I don't post on comic book forums anymore! I enjoy discussing Supergirl, but I'm not a fan of arguing over everything. Nor am I a fan of being uncivil towards others. It is always difficult to read Supergirl when the character is not written the way you see her. I believe for the most part Kara has been written the way I see her though.hhghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434899477662067857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7750844330722331602008-10-07T16:42:00.000-04:002008-10-07T16:42:00.000-04:00Oh and speaking about our fave Superheroine here, ...<I>Oh and speaking about our fave Superheroine here, the folllowing is THE official variant cover to Action Comics #870 as done by Andy Kubert!: </I><BR/><BR/>Thanks for the posts and the info Talos!

I have to admit I haven't looked at them in some time.<BR/><BR/>It is hard to get that image of the gun-wielding Kara in her school with 'the laughing dead'.<BR/><BR/>That said, you do bring up a valid point that on Earth she fought that as much as she could. I should re-assess.<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't think that I will change my mind on the overall tone of the book there.

We see a Kara who is questioning her place in the world. We see a young woman who faces her personal enemy (albeit with a cute note) and decides to do what is right. We see the many shades of her personality just like we all have different sides to ourselves. I will say it again ... it is the readers' ability to relate to Kara that makes her so compelling.<BR/><BR/>This issue just felt like Kara to me.</I><BR/>HEAR, HEAR! Seriously very well said indeed, anj! :D<BR/><BR/><I>I do not envy Sterling Gates and Jamal Igle. They have to please a very vocal Supergirl fan base who very strong ideas about her.
