It feels like a parallell timeline. Sort of like the one going on in Harley Quinn where they send killers from a future where Harley killed Batman. I don't think the Legion would be affected by it.

We see the JL3001 League -including Kara- in a short flashback. Wow. Is it possible that plotline will reach some kind of vaguely satisfying conclusion?

The events in SG13 roll right into SW14, as well as guest appearances from a character and a place I had thought had been retconned, er, rebooted, er, rebirthed out of existence. BTW, the image of SG on the last page of SW13 is one of top five images of her. <br /><br />https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24552060-supergirl-vol-6<br /><br />As for SG13, I am quite happy with the minor reboot, er, rebirth contained in this book that will change SG's status quo, and certainly drive new plotlines. I am hopeful that with the story changes, and probably more importantly, the artist changes, that more people will buy the book.<br /><br />But then, I've also liked SG's adventures in the 8th grade, and the recently concluded Supergirl: Being Super. <br /><br />Supergirl's history must look like one of those spaghetti hurricane projections that are offered early up when a hurricane begins.garybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637500979727068557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-36350415887390687142017-09-15T21:00:50.976-04:002017-09-15T21:00:50.976-04:00Nice review of Supergirl 13.

Just a day in the life of Kara Zor-El.<br /><br />Let's see now.....National City doesn't trust Supergirl, considers her dangerous, and Cat Grant, an influential media CEO is unsure and critical of her. And Supergirl works for Cat Grant in her Kara Danvers identity.<br /><br />Shades of 1960s Lee-Ditko Spider-Man!<br /><br />I fully expect that Kara will eventually clear her name and reputation with the citizens of National City. That "menace to the public" stuff doesn't play too well with "Super" characters in the long run. But overall, I like the changes. Hope we get to know the Danvers a little better, and see more of Kara's family life.<br /><br />By the way, speaking of Kara Danvers, check out Artgerm's cover for Supergirl 14. It's up on his facebook and Instragram pages.Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35224434684550360442017-09-15T14:26:01.538-04:002017-09-15T14:26:01.538-04:00I love this Rebirth title; Steve Orlando has reall...I love this Rebirth title; Steve Orlando has really rekindled my love for Supergirl. She’s always been my favourite Kryptonian, but after The New 52 not quite being the Kara I was used to reading (though I did enjoy it for the most part and still better that Kelly’s run), and the vast deterioration of the TV show on the CW (a purely personal opinion); my love for the character had begun to wane quite seriously.<br />But reading Steve Orlando’s Supergirl has always been a breath of fresh air for me. I was very eager to read this issue, and I wasn’t disappointed.<br /><br />This issue, too, made me think that maybe the creative team reassessed the book and decided to nudge the title in a direction they thought was working; and if that’s the case, they nailed it as far as I’m concerned. I’m certainly glad that Kara’s association with the DEO has been halted (even if it turns out to be temporary); it’s as if Steve Orlando has acknowledged the TV show to draw in new readers, but has now told a story that has unshackled his hands so he can go his own way. But... on the other hand, going back to the rebirth issue, perhaps it wasn't a reassessment at all... It was never made clear how Supergirl and the DEO came to work together, only that (according to the DC synopsis of the issue) Kara turns to the DEO to regain her powers. Perhaps it was always meant to be a temporary association. This current issue could just be long-term arc plans coming to fruition. (I’ll have to re-read the Rebirth issue)<br />But if this issue is the result of the creative team reassessing the book, then just like Kara Zor-El herself, this book is learning and building towards new things for the better. Great stuff.<br /><br />This Rebirth title is brilliant; I’m always content knowing that DC leads with the comics. My comments here are just my two cents, and my opinions are my own. I'm fighting an infection at the moment so I apologize profusely for sloppy grammar and perhaps not being clear in places.<br />Great review, Anj.<br />Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807259990722204859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7113119263943010922017-09-15T13:07:04.761-04:002017-09-15T13:07:04.761-04:00I loved this issue so much!

I would buy it in a heartbeat.<br /><br />Though I have to say. If Mr. Oz really is Jor-El I'd be more than a little disappointed. Whatever his deal is with Superman and humanity, not talking with his brother and niece is just bad writing. <br /><br />I am underwhelmed with Mr. Oz so far as a character. It feels like they didn't want to write a big COIE epos including everyone, so for all characters they didn't take time to include, Mr. Oz just makes a half hearted cameo.<br /><br />I would love to proven wrong, but I get a feeling the main big event will pretend there is no Superman family. Superman failing humanity in last Action Comics without calling for his family makes a statement in my mind. In the Oz effect we are back to only survivor of Krypton again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-18103568098011479882017-09-15T12:34:31.475-04:002017-09-15T12:34:31.475-04:00It was a little rushed as individual issues go (th...It was a little rushed as individual issues go (there is an important plot point in virtually every panel) but I''m either liking or loving every potential creative thread going forward...snuffing Dad though, that does put Kara on a collision course with the whole Oz Plolline (which I've been ignoring until now out of an abundance of thrift and caution)...I wonder if she'll be "folded into it" and if so, will she get treated properly?<br />There is a weird stock taking in this issue for most of the cast's adults, Zor El is dead, Eliza and Jeremiah are On unemployment, Cameron Chase is sidelined, the DEO (the organization that helped recover Kara's super powers) is alligned against Supergirl....it seems she has been literally "re-orphaned", but then she has the attitude to overcome something like that, which is why I'm liking this book so much...<br /><br />JF<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-32305723754983180012017-09-15T09:58:27.127-04:002017-09-15T09:58:27.127-04:00This issue has definitely been a game changer.
Th...This issue has definitely been a game changer.<br /><br />Then again, Supergirl hasn't enjoyed a stable, long-lasting status quo since... 1968?<br /><br />Though, Supergirl hasn't moved out of her city and her whole supporting cast hasn't been replaced this time. So those characters will probably be explored further. Glad of it. Super-heroes need a strong supporting cast to succeed.<br /><br />Supergirl being kicked out of the DEO doesn't bother me. Kara working for a Government organization didn't sit well with me and I didn't think it'd last long. Seemingly I was right.<br /><br />At the end, Magog was truly pathetic. He wasn't even important enough to be defeated on panel. And previously Supergirl defeated him with the literal snap of her fingers. Ridiculous.<br /><br />I'm wondering what that "sorceress" statement means. Cat is hiding something?<br /><br />Oh, and Unreasonably Antagonist Cat is back! Praise Sterling Gates!<br /><br />The figh scenes were superb but I'm refraining from making bad eye-based puns. By the way, Rocha -like Bogdanovic- depicts heat vision like a blaze rather a red light beam. Curious.<br /><br />"That leaves just Indigo. And after sounding like a good guy last issue, we get a peek into her true colors."<br /><br />Yes, I didn't buy her "Woman of Tomorrow" act.<br /><br />I was genuinely shocked when I read Bones was behind everything. Now, I wonder... In the 31st century Sarya saw a false vision which led her to go back in time to kill Imra. Then she realized Supergirl was her true target. How could Bones set those events in motion? Why does he want to assassinate Saturn Girl? Why is he going after Kara? So many questions.<br /><br />That Supergirl flying panel is spectacular.<br /><br />And the final scene is chilling.<br /><br />I have to feel for Zor-El. Seriously. He helped create the Worldkillers. He cut ties with his little brother after a stupid fight and never talked to Jor-El again. He tried to save his family and hometown, going so far as to cut a deal with Brainiac. Then he saw all Argonians -including his wife- dying and was turned by Brainiac into a monster. When he got his memory back, he had killed a lot of people and hurt his own daughter. He tried to set things right and had to be stopped by Supergirl because he was going about the wrong way. And then he saves Kara's life and called a murderer. Shortly after, he's executed by his own brother who considers it a mercy killing.<br /><br />In a nutshell Zor-El never managed surpass his brother, he couldn't save his family, he couldn't make up with his daughter. He failed at nearly everything and nothing what he did ended up well.<br /><br />Poor Zor-El. Maybe Oz was right. It was a mercy killing.<br /><br />And Jor-El being Mister Oz is character assassination, but that's a different matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-33868955688709483832017-09-15T09:41:02.598-04:002017-09-15T09:41:02.598-04:00Top review, as ever... and you gave me a big surpr...Top review, as ever... and you gave me a big surprise - I missed that epilogue entirely on my digital reading.<br /><br />So far as I'm concerned, that confirms Mr Oz isn't who he's 'revealed' to be in Action Comics, there's not a single hint they're related here.

The battle between Supergirl and The DEO Vs The Emerald Empress was so good. And Supergirl just let loose and was at full power seeing her use her Heat Vision so cool and a great panel to look at.
