I also was confused ...Thanks for all the comments.<br /><br />I also was confused about Perry's son. <br /><br />I figured Kara's figure was more artist preference or based on Vandervoort so I let it roll. The rest of his art was very good; that helped. There were plenty of panty shots though, I wasn't too happy with that.<br /><br />And the Metropolis U comment made me think this may have been done back when Gates was going to still be on the title. Remember in Superman #700, Gates said his next story was having Kara go to college. In this story, she never really answers the question.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76046280593232247692011-02-04T21:29:47.856-05:002011-02-04T21:29:47.856-05:00Loved the many Jimmies!

Jimmy Olson is getting all of the fun stories these days.<br /><br />Bizarro Supergirl is growing on me, and that's saying something since I'm not a Bizarro fan. "Me just float her for awhile..." Hee hee.<br /><br />One thing that I had trouble with the original Silver Age Kara was how easily she adapted to Earth culture, so I'm glad to see references to culture shock. But yes, the "Earth ritual" comment was a bit much, particularly since she says it out loud. But she was told it was a ritual, I guess I can accept her taking that at face value. <br /><br />On the other hand I had no problem with the ending at all. Everything Kara's gone through has helped her adjust to and accept the Hero's path, having a family that cares, and knowing she has a home. But there hasn't been much time for relationships outside of that other than the Legion and JLA and even those are the Cape and Cowl set, mostly business. When you're that age getting dumped like that can hurt. It's only natural she would fall back for a bit in the self-image department. Now's the time to give Steph a call, or have a sit-down with Lana.<br /><br />By the way, the guy that was trying to pick her up said something about her going to Metropolis U. Did I miss something? When did that happen?Gearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-631549474981559632011-02-04T17:22:54.997-05:002011-02-04T17:22:54.997-05:00Color me curious -- who's Perry White's so...Color me curious -- who's Perry White's son in the Wildcat story? Pre-Infinite Crisis, at least, Perry's son Jerry died at the hands of Blaze, and we haven't seen his adopted son Keith in I don't even know how long; maybe since Lois and Clark got married.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-8443904166425697842011-02-04T16:40:46.830-05:002011-02-04T16:40:46.830-05:00OK...I totally dig the homage to Laura Vandervoort...OK...I totally dig the homage to Laura Vandervoort's Smallville promo outfit.

That Supergirl story ending reminded me of nothing so much as this sort of thing, the cover of Supergirl #3 from the early Seventies:<br /><br />http://www.comics.org/issue/25911/cover/4/<br /><br />I liked the art, though a few of the Brendan faces seemed out of keeping with other work here. Looking at pics of the writer, Joe Caramagna, I'm wondering if artist Trevor McCarthy was trying to get a sense of him in there - probably not!<br /><br />The Jimmy tale was my favourite too - and the twist, so sad. I didn't guess until I was about a page away ... I like it when a story lets the reader feel vaguely smart!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
