Putting her in an orphanage was indefensible. I'd love to see an untold story in which they actually had the conversation, a one-off Legends of the DC Universe revival, maybe. <br /><br />At least nowadays Superman dumps his strays at the Kent Farm.<br /><br />I do enjoy the Dark Supergirl recaps. Don't forget the time Kara threw Kal in a fiery pit!<br /><br />I wonder if, to this day, Cary Bates can say 'cousin' with putting 'super-' in front ...Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-80390356546744801102011-01-13T06:29:44.665-05:002011-01-13T06:29:44.665-05:00Thanks for all the comments.
Maybe that all that ...Thanks for all the comments.<br /><br />Maybe that all that bitterness was really there, buried in Supergirl's unconscious.<br /><br />And great point about SG's decision to help Superman behind the scenes figuring her would shoo her away. That makes great sense.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-47424768736527718852011-01-13T00:02:34.905-05:002011-01-13T00:02:34.905-05:00You'd know how egotistical, self-centered, and...<i>You'd know how egotistical, self-centered, and heartless he really is!</i><br /><br />So... um... Kara... tell us what you <b>really</b> think about flying light years across the galaxy to be with your long-lost cousin and instead being dumped in an orphanage 'cause you're going to be his "secret weapon". Yeah, wonder what Ma & Pa Kent would have thought of that.<br /><br />Oh, you were talking about Dick Giordano?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85880829339910445422011-01-12T22:32:59.571-05:002011-01-12T22:32:59.571-05:00I wouldn't worry too much about Dark Supergirl...I wouldn't worry too much about Dark Supergirl sticking around. Regular Kara is mentioned in solicits for the Eclipso arc in March for JLA. They also finally changed the writing credits from Spencer to Peaty for Febuary and March in the main book, though not the covers or descriptions yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-40834880874339095072011-01-12T17:17:09.354-05:002011-01-12T17:17:09.354-05:00Is Supergirl recovering on a Craftmatic adjustable...Is Supergirl recovering on a Craftmatic adjustable bed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-1979873574843546842011-01-12T13:58:15.263-05:002011-01-12T13:58:15.263-05:00What I've always liked about this story is the...What I've always liked about this story is the vague but undeniable hint of prior tension between Kal and Kara.<br />Superman is so used to pre-empting his cousin that it never ever occurs to him to cede the spotlight for eight hours while he gets some rest.<br />Meanwhile Supergirl fumes paranoidally but realistically under the alien influence...All her rants against Kal El have their basis in their real relationship.<br />I've often thought that the one thing that might've saved the original Supergirl is a little explicit tension between her and Superman. At this point in the character's history she has clearly outgrown the role Superman has assigned her...Addressing that could have done both features wonders IMHO.<br />Love the art from Curt Swan BTW the inking though is stiff & scratchy..Oh well.<br />Love the costume, it's decorous, sexy and athletic looking...Don't care what anyone sez.<br /><br />John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26861705632591183332011-01-12T12:12:41.705-05:002011-01-12T12:12:41.705-05:00Wouldn't it be better to simply go up to Super...<i>Wouldn't it be better to simply go up to Superman, explain what she saw, and tell him that she'll step in for him for the next couple of hours so he can rest?</i><br /><br />After some of the "It's too dangerous for a girl" reactions she and other heroines got throughout the Silver and Bronze age maybe she felt it would be better to just go ahead and keep an eye on things in the background rather than try to convince Supes to let her do anything. <br /><br />Sometimes "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" when you have to deal with that stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
