Review: Supergirl #54
Cover A surprisingly chipper cover for such a dark issue. I’d have expected something more like Supergirl #9. Supergirl flying with jets is very nice, very Silver Age, but like last month’s cover it doesn’t fit the issue. Story When … Continue reading

Review: SUPERGIRL #53
This review was started in June but I got stuck in the draft stage. Here it is, a little late but hopefully still reflecting the excitement I felt upon first read. Story After the long New Krypton storyline, Supergirl #53 … Continue reading

War of the Supermen #1-3
This miniseries should have been called “The Big Giant Status Quo Reset”, or, “Everyone and everything you liked about New Krypton gets destroyed, but Luthor lives.” I’ve moved past my denial about them killing Alura and the (soon to be) … Continue reading

Jump to Supergirl #51 review Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton #1 March 10/10 “Part One: Invaded” Brainiac is back: his scary spaceship-head-o-doom hovers ominously over New Krypton and the inhabitants on the streets are under attack from the waves … Continue reading

Review: Supergirl #50
Happy anniversary! I never thought this series would make it this far. I certainly never foresaw that by SUPERGIRL #50 I would be enjoying this series so darn much.

Quick thought on the conclusion of SUPERGIRL #49
I liked this issue a lot, and am relieved that Lana’s disease is indeed of an unnatural variety because I was a little worried about her (I didn’t really think they’d off her, but after Zor-El…!) I’m eager to see … Continue reading

Supergirl Origin Story Revisions
Supergirl’s origin story has been retold a number of times during her series. Some significant details needed to be tweaked in order to fit in with the six-part “Brainiac” story, published in Superman comics in the fall of 2008, which … Continue reading

Review: Supergirl #43
Aw, this was such a sweet story. I cried at the end ^_^ The art is amazing. Jamal Igle just keeps getting better and better! (I wish I could say something intelligent about inking, for once, but I completely lack … Continue reading
Review: Power Girl #2
I didn’t like this issue, so my review will be brief. The story is…distasteful. Way too much torturing and repeated restraint of Power Girl, combined with some other unpleasant scenes that make me want to never see the Ultra-Humanite ever … Continue reading

Review: Power Girl #1 (2009)
I almost can’t believe it’s here: the first ongoing Power Girl series! And one which doesn’t require her to leave her integral place in JSA. As someone who doesn’t read JSA I was confused and concerned by the suggestions in … Continue reading

Review: Supergirl #20
This issue restored my faith in Supergirl. It may even be the first time I actually liked the new Kara. The first two issues of Kelley Puckett and Drew Johnson’s run made me like her even more, but this issue … Continue reading

Reaction: Reign in Hell #2
No Linda. By the end of the issue I was not terribly interested in continuing to read this story, and it was a chore to read the backup. I’m not a fan of dark, set in hell stories in general, … Continue reading

Reaction: Supergirl #32/33 blurb
I just read #32 and am a bit taken aback. No spoilers because it just came out (comments may be another thing). That was a sudden and unexpected end to the storyline which really didn’t make a lot of sense. … Continue reading

Supergirl in Final Crisis #3
This issue features an amazing Supergirl cover, but Supergirl herself only appears briefly inside. However her initial appearance in Final Crisis gives Kara fans something juicy to contemplate: her apartment is littered with design sketches of what appears to be … Continue reading

Mini-Review: Reign in Hell #1
Linda Danvers appears briefly, just enough tease us with her status. Not surprising really – it’s just the beginning of the story. Spoilers follow.

Review: Supergirl #17 and 18
I just read Supergirl #18 today, and I can’t say I’m impressed by the resolution of this storyline. The previous issue was quite exciting and I enjoyed it, but after all the build-up of the past few months, the conclusion … Continue reading

Review: Supergirl #16
Issue 16 is titled “The Truth” and the cover proclaims “Origin Revealed!” The question is: whose truth? Is this the real Zor-El’s take on what transpired in those final dark days on Krypton? And if it is him, can he … Continue reading

Review: Supergirl #12
I know this issue’s been out for over a month, but I wasn’t going to post about it until I discovered a comment on it from a new poster who’d gotten lost in the deluge of spam. It took me … Continue reading

Supergirl #11 initial thoughts: ‘basically a jailbait naughty mag’
Who the fuck* is the guest artist on this issue and what idiot editor (Eddie Berganza) allowed him to draw porn all over my Supergirl book?! Not that writer Joe Kelly didn’t have a hand in portraying Kara as some … Continue reading

Supergirl & the Legion of Superheroes: Strange Visitor From Another Century
I received my copy of this graphic novel in the mail last week, and was surprised and disappointed to see that it is missing Legion issue #15. I never read this issue when it came out, but I understand it … Continue reading

Review: Supergirl #10
What did you think? There are a couple comments on the previous post about the issue, but I figured I should start dedicating posts to the discussion of each month’s issue – now that they’ve stopped being so bad I … Continue reading

Review: SUPERGIRL: Power
I’ve added a summary of the story from SUPERMAN/BATMAN: Supergirl. I received my copy of SUPERGIRL: Power from Amazon yesterday, and I was disappointed disappointed that they didn’t use the SUPERGIRL #2 variant as solicited, which would have been much … Continue reading
