I suppose it would be unfair to the character to de-age him as he lived those years, but the upcoming universal reset could undo his Earth 3 time... I never liked that he had years of torment and hiding.

It's always nice to see Silver Age Kara.<br /><br />I hope this is the beginning of a more positive take on Supergirl in the post-Didio DC Universe. Having Kara join the Legion (as hinted in Action Comics #1027) would mean that Bendis can keep writing her even after he leaves the Superman books. That's assuming that Bendis will continue to write the Legion, and that Kara's visit to the 31st century will be more than a quick "Hello Goodbye, see ya later!" Maybe something will happen and Jon will revert back to his younger self, and Supergirl will replace him. There will be a new Super Sons digital first series coming out sometime next year, although it supposedly takes place before Jon's age-up.<br /><br />By the way, I noticed that the cover of Action Comics #285 shown here is the one from either the archives or omnibus editions and not from the original comic where Supergirl had longer hair. I recently read somewhere that the shorter hair cover first turned up on a German reprint. I would guess (and it's only a guess) that the short hair cover was the way Curt Swan originally drew it (compare it to Supergirl on the cover of Action Comics #277) and before the comic went to press, he redrew Supergirl's head with the longer hair to bring it in line with Jim Mooney's version. There was a paste over that got lost somewhere along the way. Like I said, just a guess.Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-86150870132413284632020-12-05T22:28:44.368-05:002020-12-05T22:28:44.368-05:00Good book, but that is a really crappy cynical tak...Good book, but that is a really crappy cynical take on SupermanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76009834461185435162020-12-05T11:56:44.650-05:002020-12-05T11:56:44.650-05:00It was a lovely surprise to see Kara in here...I c...It was a lovely surprise to see Kara in here...I can’t remember her and Jeff ever meeting, not even in a crossover, maybe they will in the issue featuring Black Lightning’s daughters. <br /><br />As you say Anj, this was pretty darn good. <br /><br />And Steve, thanks for the kind words. I’m with you on wanting comics to be comics so it’s a tribute to the creators that I was so quickly absorbed by this issue.

I enjoy the combo of pictures and words comics bring and them being segregated ruins that for me. I hope it's a success though even if I probably won't do more than read great reviews like this and Martin Gray's for future issues...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878013590983091300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-3355663791599327272020-12-04T11:14:23.258-05:002020-12-04T11:14:23.258-05:00These days I'm just happy they got the SA Cost...These days I'm just happy they got the SA Costume right...:)<br /><br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
