And in a meta context, putting her into the TT book brings some hopefully a lot of Supergirl readers to the Titans Franchise which is good for sales. My only quibble is that DC Should Stick With This Decision and not cycle her out of the book when the writers change...the major drawback of the last run her team affiliations were for the most part fleeting and healf hearted, she was in every from from the Titans to the Metal Men....<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-28748395620165205912012-07-17T15:52:43.716-04:002012-07-17T15:52:43.716-04:00Hi, I just found your blog and I thought that its ...Hi, I just found your blog and I thought that its great. I'm glad there is a positive and great blog about the super family and especially supergirl. <br />I do understand that you are concern about Kara will be seen as "evil" trying to kill Kon. But I think that is a natural response from their point of view. Clones to kryptonian were sorta like manhunters to green lantern. In that all of them are seen as threats and none of them ended up fine. I guess this is a natural response for Kryptonians like Kara. There would always be a defensive wall against what you were told were the biggest threat to your people. <br />But I can see where the writers are going with this and I think the story could potentially be great with Kara starting to learn to trust Kon and even hopefully help him to stop the "deterioration".<br /><br />Ofcourse that is only my opinion and I do respect yours. But hopefully you can go into this with an open mind. Like I said before, I really like this blog of yours.Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-88024627734570354222012-07-17T14:13:50.817-04:002012-07-17T14:13:50.817-04:00As long as is well written, I have no problem Kara...As long as is well written, I have no problem Kara joining the Teen Titans.<br />I like the way Johnson is portraying Kara and he cares about her very much.<br />Whatever will happen, I´m pretty optimistic :)Ayhenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-80950862298961482922012-07-17T13:40:20.117-04:002012-07-17T13:40:20.117-04:00hey Anj,

Once to try and cheer her up, another to help her try and save her father during the attack on New Krypton. The third time Superman appeared in the book he had to push her away. the fourth time was to help her in an investigation she led. The last time, she punched the crap out of him.<br /><br />Five appearances in 25 issues and two annuals. At no point did she kowtow to him. She was a member of New kryptons Science Guild. She used kryptonian science to cure Lana's "Insect queen" infection. She led the forces of Bizarro World into battle against a planet killing monster. She wasn't a "Bobblehead", she was intelligent, brave, resourcesful, loving and above it all, complicated.<br /><br />I know it makes your nipples hard to rail on the work we did. I've stood back for a long time while you go on and on, without any facts to back it up, other than the one issue you misread (She's an alien from outer space, what the hell would she know about HUMAN SPORTS?) And decided that you would not only boycott the book but start a webpage about how pissed you were that I had the audacity to put shorts under her skirt?<br /><br />Dude, get over it. I know it's hard for you to comprehend this but we left the book almost 3 years ago. I also know you have no interest in being open mined. I think it's sad that your still going on about this.Jamal Iglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990294820100957411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-42317924976366863382012-07-17T12:57:50.103-04:002012-07-17T12:57:50.103-04:00Yeah who is a screamer here Larry?

Why doncha man up and name some names?<br />***<br />Basically, Superman and his mythos have been "marvelized" and no one considers the long term interests of the character over and above the current sales report or movie deal.<br />THAT is the state of comics today, if it means buzz and sales Superboy will start a collection of human heads and if Supergirl has to kill him to keep those sales up so be it.<br />Welcome to comics in the 21st century...<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-13405207242733369472012-07-17T07:56:30.865-04:002012-07-17T07:56:30.865-04:00SG writer Mike Johnson tweeted me this:

Am I a screamer they listened to the last time? <br /><br />And the fact you want no relationship between Supergirl and Superman is interesting to me. I have never said I want her to kowtow to him, just to have a healthy familial relationship. I wonder why you think that is so wrong.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-6157600709918536032012-07-16T22:16:02.897-04:002012-07-16T22:16:02.897-04:00I'm glad Supergirl will be rejecting any attem...I'm glad Supergirl will be rejecting any attempt Superman makes at mentoring. Hopefully she continues to be her own person and develop and not go back to the unfortunate obsequious bobble head in Superman's shadow. David and Loeb did so much to bring Supergirl into her own and then it was just massive regress soon after. The new 52 Supergirl has been about the only character I've been interested in. Hopefully DC lets the creators do their thing instead of letting the screamers control things (as they did with the previous Supergirl).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-10859984390199483902012-07-16T17:25:56.547-04:002012-07-16T17:25:56.547-04:00The concept of Supergirl wanting to kill Superboy ...The concept of Supergirl wanting to kill Superboy and Superman being a loner is madness.

It's a convenient shield really.<br /><br />I agree 100% with you Anj. The fundamental issue here is that there is a mandate to make the Superman character and his 'family' as dysfunctional and hostile as is possible, I did note your Batman allegory and have had similar thought myself, especially having just read Batman #11 and a nice ending with Bruce and Dick reaffirming their bond and elsewhere in Batman and Robin him gathering his apprentices fpr a family portrait. The difference between todays Batman and Superman couldn't be any greater - In some bizarre way Batman and Superman have now <i>switched</i> their traditional places.
