The first story real...Thanks for all the comments.<br /><br />The first story really is a Kara/Mary story and so fans of those two will definitely enjoy it.<br /><br />I saw the similarities with 'H'El' as well John. Such a different super-family and supergirl involvement in this story as opposed to the current one.<br /><br />And I love Buckler's take on Supergirl. So that does help!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-14859998567946884842013-03-04T21:08:13.970-05:002013-03-04T21:08:13.970-05:00So glad you reviewed this!

Its a bit silly in places but in terms of it's take on Kara, it's a slam dunk and stands in mute contrast to the pathetic dupe currently headlining in "H'El on Earth".<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
