Exploring the evolution of SG should make for a lively discussion. <br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76492962731793820182017-07-21T02:32:03.528-04:002017-07-21T02:32:03.528-04:00I wish we had good cons where I live.

Thank you for giving us a look into another one.<br /><br />Speaking of SDCC, have you seen that Joelle Jones Supergirl statue they displayed there? I love it. It feels like a nice mix of her history. Her face reminds me a bit of Smallville Kara, the hair gives a vintage vibe while he costume feels contemporary.<br /><br />Also guys, don't forget to pick up the free Snickers Supergirl Magazine at Comixology. It's a homage to the classic Fastest Man Alive comic, but with Kara and Jesse Quick. If you can laugh at the incredibly corny Snickers plugs instead of being annoyed, the art is really nice and I found it really charming overall. I'd rank it as one of the better Supergirl issues of the year.<br /><br />/KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-30324554668652276252017-07-21T02:15:46.920-04:002017-07-21T02:15:46.920-04:00"When COIE #7 came out, you thought that stor..."When COIE #7 came out, you thought that story was the end of the character and she'd fade forever? Were you shocked when DC brought Kara Zor-El back and she started enjoying increased popularity and exposure?"<br /><br />Actually, Wolfman sort of answered that question in The Krypton Companion, a book published by TwoMorrows Publishing in 2006. The book contains an interview with Wolfman by editor Michael Eury (I've taken out the first parts of Eury's question and Wolfman's answer, since they dealt with the Crisis):<br /><br />Eury: "...How do you feel about Kara's return in current DC continuity?"<br />Wolfman:"...As for her return, I always assumed she would come back. The idea was to start the universe over. If Supergirl never existed, then a new one could be recreated. I'm surprised it took this long."<br /><br />Of course, this says nothing about Wolfman's feelings about the Supergirl character, negative or positive, just an understanding that what is etched in stone continuity wise one day, can be erased the next. But it does show that he expected DC to bring her back, someway, somehow.Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-17825033997393977102017-07-20T19:21:03.310-04:002017-07-20T19:21:03.310-04:00I've met Wolfman, Kupperberg, and ore at vario...I've met Wolfman, Kupperberg, and ore at various cons.

TDNAOS Volume 2 is out in Trade Paperback his autograph might look nice on the inside front page.<br /><br />As for Peter David, I'd love to get his opinion of the TV show.....and if I moderated a "Supergirl Panel" it'd likely end in fight fights, I'm a little inflexible about somethings as we all know.<br />:)<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-54763629294323255542017-07-20T08:43:51.378-04:002017-07-20T08:43:51.378-04:00I wish you a lot of luck.

Obviously it'll be a very busy convention.<br /><br />"Perhaps the one I *need* to get to is the Supergirl panel with Paul Kupperberg, Bob Greenberger, and Peter David. I actually want to moderate that panel but I don't think amateurs are allowed on the stage. I really hope that I am able to attend!"<br /><br />A panel dedicated to the evolution of Supergirl. Incredible. And Paul Kupperberg is one of panelists! Now, if only Sterling Gates was a panelist... then it'd be perfect.<br /><br />"And do I dare ask Wolfman a COIE #7 question??"<br /><br />'How do you dare to call Kara Zor-El a worthless character when you created Terry Long?'<br /><br />Just kidding (even though it's an excellent and perfectly valid question). I don't know what I'd ask myself because I don't want to be rude, but his... attitude irks me. He thought of killing Kara off for years, claiming she added nothing to the mythos and everyone agreed with his proposal. And then he either claimed there was no backlash because no one cared for her; or he admits there was "some" backlash but he tells he's sure 90% understood or agreed, or she had no fans prior her death. And at the same time disparaged Supergirl and her fans he claimed he missed her. Hah!<br /><br />Maybe I'd ask: 'When COIE #7 came out, you thought that story was the end of the character and she'd fade forever? Were you shocked when DC brought Kara Zor-El back and she started enjoying increased popularity and exposure?'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
