Deceased loved ones are kept alive thru guilt and clearly Kara has some guilt feelings about her father's death. <br />That way, Zor "lives" as a rebuke to Alura's aloofness and political excesses.<br />This state of mind keeps Supergirl emotionally stunted in some ways...Strange as it may seem, beating down Zor El's zombie revenant will bring her some emotional completion and put her closer to an equal footing with her mother.<br /><br />John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-43524751054078483232009-09-29T07:03:24.986-04:002009-09-29T07:03:24.986-04:00Wouldn't it have been great if Kara had decide...<i>Wouldn't it have been great if Kara had decided to use her Super-breath to scatter Zor-El's pieces across miles to keep him from reconstituting, just as she did the stone soldiers in CRISIS #7?</i><br /><br />I know exactly what you are talking about.<br /><br />That would have been great!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-71616370212229238002009-09-29T07:02:35.659-04:002009-09-29T07:02:35.659-04:00Question: do y'all think BL Kal-L will reveal ...<i>Question: do y'all think BL Kal-L will reveal the existence of there being a Kara Zor-El/Supergirl BEFORE her to try to goad her in to a fight come next issue if they meet? :/</i><br /><br />I know you are holding out hope.

I'm still afraid of what will come of Kal-L. As the original Superman, he is hallowed ground. I hope by the end of this, we find out this isn't really him. Kal-L should NEVER, EVER be allowed to become a villain. Luckily, we seem to be heading toward that direction with Deadman's not being able to inhabit his Black Lantern body and Kara realizing this Black Lantern Zor-El cannot possibly be her real dad. I'm guessing we'll find out these Black Lanterns are just shells without the deceased person's actual soul.<br /><br />On a somewhat lighter note, during that panel where Kara is smashing Zor-El's face which keeps coming back together, all I could keep thinking of was CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #7 where Kara and Kal are fighting the stone soldiers in the Anti-Monitor's fortress that keep coming back together after Superman and Supergirl punch them apart. Wouldn't it have been great if Kara had decided to use her Super-breath to scatter Zor-El's pieces across miles to keep him from reconstituting, just as she did the stone soldiers in CRISIS #7?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-74567831642994721442009-09-27T13:02:14.743-04:002009-09-27T13:02:14.743-04:00Talos said:

I agree with you that her characterization is fantastic! The split rage-will panel is my favorite image in the entire issue and really stands out to me.
