He should certainly be offering her help to set up home on Earth, providing her with tips and training ... it can mainly be off-panel, but I want to know he cares.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-65612524020899993912012-01-22T14:41:47.302-05:002012-01-22T14:41:47.302-05:00Well so far I've liked this book more than I t...Well so far I've liked this book more than I thought it would. Supergirl hasn't been like they said, a bratty teenage with powers. She's scared and unsure if she's alone and I agree her reaction to news Krypton is gone was right. <br /><br />I agree with Anj that Kal not showing up again is a mistake. She is after all his only living relative. Plus even if she wasn't, you think he might be a tad concerned that someone with all his powers is running around. Now of course its SG's book, we want her to stand on her own. But early on in the origin Superman has a role to play. <br /><br />Anyway I think things have been going okay, for the moment I continue to following SG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7604033330169990282012-01-22T12:28:47.656-05:002012-01-22T12:28:47.656-05:00Survivors?

As I said, Supergirl was rebooted and soft rebooted within the last 7 yrs. <br /><br />I am trying to roll with this.

I don't want Superman to be ever-present or controlling. But he should be part of Kara's life. And again I doubt that he would let her simply roam the planet without seeking her out.<br /><br />I think to the last title. Superman was part of that Kara's life but really wasn't in the title for the last year or so. Supergirl was solo. And that's what I want to see too.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85838087448019291582012-01-21T12:04:22.229-05:002012-01-21T12:04:22.229-05:00I agree with the first post.

I prefer the Peter David version and some of the others where she felt more like her own character, worthy of a title, and not Superman's Robin. <br /><br />The writing on this Supergirl is the best I've seen since at least Peter David. I actually feel like the writer cares about seeing this through the eyes of a young girl with Super powers who has gone through this terrible loss.<br /><br />I'm also glad she has some spunk, fight, and spirit to her and has some brains. I am really loving this portrayal and hope DC keeps it up. Along with Action Comics, this is DC's best title.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-135379635575907982012-01-21T09:31:23.996-05:002012-01-21T09:31:23.996-05:00Oh geez is this gonna be another "Mysterious ...Oh geez is this gonna be another "Mysterious Secret Origin of Supergirl" storyline that'll get teased out for a full year or more?<br />Origins are always the least interesting stories IMHO....I saw Zor El getting gunned down (Again) and thought to myself "The poor schlep is either a killer or getting killed in every incarnation".<br />And anyway, been there done that.<br />Sorry folks, I"m still not feeling it yet on this version, I am however coming around on Asrar's artwork "it is fluid yet dynamic.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-66380267887052849612012-01-20T13:46:00.031-05:002012-01-20T13:46:00.031-05:00Nice review.

But think about it - it does make sense from a plot line standpoint, but it may only hurt Supergirl as a standalone character in the future. By choosing to not include Superman, authors letting Kara to escape his shadow and became fully established character all by herself, something, that was really lacking in her previous series. Supergirl don't need to be babysitted by guest stars in her own comics, this book needs to establish her as a separate character, who can easely hold on her own even without the more famous counterpart.<br />Hope this makes sense.
