I want to see a Supergirl #100. I'd really love to see a Supergirl #81, past the PAD mark.<br /><br />But I realize we need small goals. First let's get past the 3issue DeConnick arc without the words 'final issue'.<br /><br />And I hope DC realizes there is a fanbase out there. But we could ask the Cassandra Cain fanbase how that is working out too.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-28192754092975337632011-04-24T11:07:52.073-04:002011-04-24T11:07:52.073-04:00However long it lasts is however long it lasts.

I'm treating each issue as a gift without shutting off my critical sensibilities of course.<br />I can recall a time when it was more or less forbidden by editorial diktat to even print the name "Supergirl" in a DC book.<br /><br />I think a lot of people would like to see "This Supergirl" surge past the "Peter David Mark" in the issue run.

Hurrah for that!<br /><br />A regular creative team that has time to build and execute a long-term plan would be nice. The short arcs can tell fun stories, but we lose the opportunity to see little hints dropped that turn into big things later, and the feel that there's a grand plan afoot. I miss that from the Gates/Ingle run, I hope we can get it back. <br /><br />I was rooting for DeConnick to be the permanent writer when she was first announced (yes, I'm biased, I'd like to see what a woman could do with Supergirl over a long-term assignment) and still am. But now I'm also rooting for Wood to stay in place for quite awhile, though I'm less (as in not at all) familiar with his work.<br /><br />ANJ, what about giving a quick review of one of our new writer's other works as a preview?Gearnoreply@blogger.com
