When I wrote: "Anyway, I like seeing the two most important women in Superman's life...", it was supposed to be followed with "(ignoring Lara and Martha's murderous glares)"<br /><br /><br />"I'm hanging in there for Kara but just remember this is at the moment her only "team affiliation" and its a complete disaster...."<br /><br />I understand your feelings. Sadly this book has been a missed chance.<br /><br />However, I don't know if it's canonical, but in the "Justice League vs Power Rangers" crossover, Supergirl is considered a JL reserve member.<br /><br />Regardless of that I want her to be a JL and Legion member again. Is that too much ask for?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-11985287513941910872017-06-27T13:04:44.856-04:002017-06-27T13:04:44.856-04:00Well JF, I certainly think this book reached a hig...Well JF, I certainly think this book reached a high point with the sacrifice of Stargirl and has been treading water since. As I have said, we are changing from a character driven book with an agenda to an agenda driven book with characters. And that doesn't always work.<br /><br />I don't mind seeing Kara working through grief. I don't mind a riff on the JLU Galatea storyline with Power Girl.<br /><br />But I don't think I am picking up the next volume.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-2577580153399804082017-06-27T12:32:49.987-04:002017-06-27T12:32:49.987-04:00A lot of very bright and talented creatives have t...A lot of very bright and talented creatives have to work awfully late into the night to turn a sure fire crowd pleaser like a Supergirl-Powergirl fight into a dismal talkative self help exercise. Seriously I had to read the above review to realize Supergirl is still somehow powerless due to depression and survivors guilt.<br />This book botched almost everything, a female centric superverse, an alternate history of the WW2....too much dialogue, inane breaks into song (in a silent medium no less), an entirely too inflated sense of self regard and action that incite naught but boredom. Sorry I'm just not reading the same book as you guys, I'm hanging in there for Kara but just remember this is at the moment her only "team affiliation" and its a complete disaster....<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-64047441505098298832017-06-27T01:25:34.408-04:002017-06-27T01:25:34.408-04:00There will be another Bombshell series starting in...There will be another Bombshell series starting in Aug.

I wonder what it tells about Luthor wanting to keep a Supergirl around.<br /><br />Anyway, I like seeing the two most important women in Superman's life... <br /><br /><br /><br />... sharing panel time. Why can't we have more of that?<br /><br /><br />Not sure how I feel about Superman being a Supergirl clone. On the one hand, the irony is hilarious: in this universe Superman is literally a Supergirl with pants. On the other hand, I think it's overcomplicating the character's origin.<br /><br />And how wonderful is that splash page where Superman, Supergirl and Power Girl fly together up, up and away...<br /><br />It's a sight we haven't seen in a main universe in a long time, if ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
