I can't seem to fix this post.<br /><br />I think extra hands/heads are relatively new, letting folks put a personal spin on things and letting the price get jacked up.<br /><br />My guess is it is still Lana. With Superman being streamlined, I can't imagine we'll have 2 Loises for long.<br /><br />I do want a Superwoman/Supergirl team-up badly!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-48289275470294156372017-02-28T09:26:41.644-05:002017-02-28T09:26:41.644-05:00So much going on!

I can't actually tell which Superwoman that is, though I lean towards a non-electric Lana..<br /><br />I've never had an action figure, are extra hands a thing?

But from what I'm reading, it sounds like they only meet during that issue, and Supergirl keeps absent from her cousin's books. I wish she makes regular appearances in Action Comics and Superman again. I want her to hang out with Clark and be a part of his family again. A character cannot thrive when she is so isolated.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />At least Supergirl and Batgirl team up. And that thing with the Emerald Empress and the Fatal Five hopefully means the Legion isn't far behind.<br /><br />Power Girl finally shows up in the Bombshells universe! And her origin is a throwback to Justice League Unlimited Galatea.<br /><br />"Can a 'Woman meet 'Girl super-story happen??"<br /><br />Supergirl and Lana would finally meet in the New 52 universe! (Okay, I know they met during the Final Days of Superman but I doubt they talked to each other)<br /><br />Crucible was so good... and so short. Sigh. I wonder if DC ever explained why they cancelled the book.<br /><br />Anyway, that cover gives off a certain Iron-Man vibe, IMO.<br /><br />Mongul allying himself with Cyborg Superman, Metallo and the Eradicator sounds weird. Anyway, I hope we have put Cyborg Zor-El behind us for good this time.<br /><br />If Kon turns up, he needs to be fixed. Badly. I wish Kon and Linda showed up again, even if they don't become Superboy and Supergirl again. I think the Super-family should be as big as the Bat-family.<br /><br />Black Dawn sounds interesting. I reckon Tomasi needs to solve that subplot now, before the Kents leave Hamilton for good. We're about to find out what is happening in that Cthulhu-forsaken county!<br /><br />That action figure looks real great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
