Was it supposed to be a nightgown or something else? She had a polo shirt later in the issue." I had to recheck the issue to figure it out: it's an artistic inconsistency. On pages 2 and 4 it appears to be a halter top and skirt, but on pages 3 and 12 you see it's a one-piece gown, with her crest as the center piece. It is in fact her guilding dress. “I loved that mermaid outfit. Was it supposed to be a nightgown or something else? She had a polo shirt later in the issue.”

Felt kinda embarrassed, tried not to cry. Best SG story in years. I read it on the subway going home and teared up at the end. Felt kinda embarrassed, tried not to cry. Best SG story in years.

Was it supposed to be a nightgown or something else? She had a polo shirt later in the issue. I'm also kind of disappointed that Kara didn't pick up on the pattern after the first two or three times, but I guess kids tend to assume the worst of their parents like that. Her decision at the end was selfless but I hoped she'd have gone the other way. But I suppose that's why she's super and I'm not. I'm rather glad that the Labor guild is the way it is. Combined with the stuff we learned in the New Krypton issues, it seems to make their society seem a lot more real. Advanced technology doesn't mean harmonious fantasy. Depth and complication are great. After all, if they were perfect, then Kal and Kara wouldn't be so special. I loved that mermaid outfit. Was it supposed to be a nightgown or something else?
