I think people are always looking for a reason to pounce and Alanna being a student isn't a necessary part of the story. That said, you are right, they do look close in age - like an older grad student and a young prof.<br /><br />I suppose sales of 40K in this day and age is great. Hope DC let's this grow.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-37115241238264084322014-08-16T04:49:45.085-04:002014-08-16T04:49:45.085-04:00The Kara/Courtney scene wasn't my favourite, b...The Kara/Courtney scene wasn't my favourite, but given that we recently saw positive comments from Lemire about Kara going forward - or did I imagine this? - I'm going to sit back and see what happens. This is a terrific comic, and it has my support for as long as it keeps the heroic tone. <br /><br />I'm not so keen on the Equinox costume, it's a tad bland; I wouldn't want it all-out Perez-ed, but maybe a flouncy symbol or two would help. <br /><br />I think it was more than implied that Alanna is from Earth, given her 'I'm Canadian' remark, and line making it clear that the wonders of space are new to her. I'm disappointed, I wanted her to be a Rann transfer student or something. <br /><br />I'm OK with Alanna and Adam being married - they seem pretty close in age, there doesn't seem to have been any abuse of power involved. (And even if he was a good few years older, I'd judge it on a case by case basis - US folk seem a lot more uncomfortable about age difference romances than Europeans.) University is where they met, he was her lecturer - so long as there's no favouritism, then I'd taken 'em both down!<br /><br />The selfie cover is cute but the regular one is just stupendous!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-90633415189762321262014-08-16T03:54:07.379-04:002014-08-16T03:54:07.379-04:00The sales where around 50K I think the book will s...The sales where around 50K I think the book will stabilise around 30K or so.<br /><br />The fact that it's a core Justice League book backed up by a critically acclaimed writer should give it some staying power. It could also be classed as a Young Justice book which is something DC is sorely lacking with at the moment.

This is fine although it is around 40,000 less than the main Justice League book.AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26754136077997223502014-08-15T22:08:59.364-04:002014-08-15T22:08:59.364-04:00The response seemed to sound a lot like what Kara ...The response seemed to sound a lot like what Kara heard from Guy and Bleez.

But I think she could have been a little nicer in conveying that point.<br /><br />Still, Supergirl has been treated very well overall by Lemire. No real complaints.<br /><br />I haven't looked at sales. How bad are they?Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26250366620506914592014-08-15T19:30:06.669-04:002014-08-15T19:30:06.669-04:00I dunno Courtney doesn't know any better her o...I dunno Courtney doesn't know any better her only other alien team mate is the wise and paternal J'on J'onz, Supergirl kinda came off as a bully IMHO.

I mean, after what she's been through, not the least of which is the Red Daughter thing, and her knowing cosmic stuff etc, I think she reacted perfectly right. Not least because of Stargirl's quip about "aliens". Kara didn't come across as harsh to me at all, but more like "I've been through the universe and I've seen stuff!".<br /><br />But, the main takeaway for me was J'onn. He's behaving like himself and... You can't have a justice league withouth him!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055675095443418258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-54503313658738254482014-08-15T14:50:17.804-04:002014-08-15T14:50:17.804-04:00Great issue I thought.

I think one of the main reasons why Kara was so cold to Courtney was dues to the fact she sees a lot of her self in her.<br /><br />If you think back to Kara on Krypton she was a lot more of a happy go lucky kid loved her family and friends and just wanted to have a good time which usually involved here getting into trouble.<br /><br />Then she wakes up on Earth and is constantly attacked and manipulated my guess is Kara does not want Courtney to go through that hell like she did so she want her to wake up and not be used like she was.<br /><br />Overall great issue it's going to be satisfying to see Kara becoming BFFs with Courtney and Equinox it will happen it's only a matter of time.Bartiemusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-66707747254853688582014-08-15T10:10:30.400-04:002014-08-15T10:10:30.400-04:00This is really good comics.

Just saw the sales chart for JLU last month and it is sad to see this book comics sales has been drop drastically :( My wishlist is that DC can do spin off book Adventures of Green Arrow-Animal Man or Adam Strange Solo Series or Martian Manhunter solo series but I doubt it will happen. Overall I give this issue 8/10 . I will like to see this team JLU fight classic JL villain like Starro or Mongul in future. Also I predict that the war between Rann and Thanagar will happen in the future. Just my predictionalexhttp://twitter.com/boynerdgeeknoreply@blogger.com
