Supergirl: Past, Present and Future

[HellSpawn]

Aye!

 

Recently I bought Supergirl: identity TP, aka the run of Joe Kelly on SG, I just did an overwiew of tht book.. and looks good.

 

I got the previous SG issues post Sup-Bat reborn story.. Power by Loeb and Candor by Rucka-Kelly... And well.. I do like them, they are not Incredible, but are very readable , good art by Churchill mostly, fun and sexy momments.. plenty of fights... good twists...

 

I know there are a few months since Kelly left the book but.. I think its a good character and I wanted to start a new thread for US to talk, discuss, fight or simply have fun recollecting memmories about Kara Zor-El or Linda Danvers or whatever SG you love or hate.

 

I'll start in this days posting Retro Reviews from Power-Candor-Identity and well you are welcome to do reviews of the new stuff or comments abput Peter David run or go back to SG/Matrix, etc.

 

Hope you like this thread...

The post Superman/Batman relaunch of Supergirl has been a pretty good read.

 

I really didn't like the David run, as it got really confusing by the end with all the multiple Supergirls.

HellSpawn Retro Rant for... Supergirl #0 (Vol.5)

 

Creative team: Loeb, Churchill, Rapmund

 

After her resurrection at Superman/Batman 8-13, the Maid of Might is back on the DCU.. kara Zor-El, is now a teenage cousin of Kal El. OK that was just a recap for someone who has never read or hear of her.

 

Again, after her resurrection and introduction to several DCU Heroes on Paradise island, kara has been going.. opposite of what you might think, she didnt go for the flash and the lights.. she went into a low profile and stay on Paradise island withe amazons learning and improving her abbilities.

 

Suspicious as always, Bats had kept an eye on her, shockingly approved by Supes. of course they have their own agenda.. Bats wants to know more about this new girl and how powerful is.. and still dont trust fully on her coming.. Supes on the other side, wants to know how is she improving.. but also always the boy scout, wants to take care of her, after all. is his only connection to Krypton.

 

But there is a third watcher on Kara... an evil one. This third has been settig up some accidents and criminal attacks on severalplaces.. testing our beloved lady in blue... and every time she beat the bad guys or save the day.. even a major failfure on Air force One.. but. like I said before.. she keeps a low profile, after this rescue.. she leave the place in a blink.

 

Superman finally wants to talk with her, but she eludes him..shocking him..Bats.. and our third watcher...

 

Cut to.. A seriously pissed Kara inside the Batcave confronting Batman.. and warning him and Kal.

 

This setups the last test of our evil third watcher..

 

OK.. no more story in this review.. the rest is to you for read.. Now lets move to the journalist thing.. (yeah right)

 

I like this issue. Its the seed for this new volume of Supergirl's tales...

 

Loeb wrote a nice set up for the series, Churchill draw several cool momments.. (Kara lifting a plane by a wing its very nice). I know, people will say she looks like skin and bones girl wearing the shortest pieces of clothe..

 

Well..sorry but She does look good. Im tired of people bashing this kind of art.. and praising manga like art who is some times even more extreme or the other side.. art who is so minimalist that sometimes is nothing more than a sketch.

 

But i digress.. maybe its not a mega thoughful issue, but it was a nice way to show and introduce kara as the new Supergirl. Heroic. Beautiful. Young. Attitude.

My favorite version

[Matt Young]

Supergirl looks anorexic and tweaked out.

[Steviekick]

I'm with MVP. I enjoyed the Matrix version.

[Anakin Flair]

I've never really enjoyed the Matrix version. It wasn't really Supergirl, just some shapeshifting alien.

[tbondrage99]

I like the look of the matrix version more, but don't like that she was just a shape shifter. Can I vote for Power Girl as my favorite Supergirl?

[SuperJerk]

My favorite? Linda Danvers.

 

[Anakin Flair]

I like the look of the matrix version more, but don't like that she was just a shape shifter. Can I vote for Power Girl as my favorite Supergirl?

 

Well, technically she was Supergirl- of Earth 2.

[tbondrage99]

There you go then, Power Girl is my favorite Supergirl. She kicks all of there asses.

[HellSpawn]

Well.. there are so many versions of Supergirl.. and thats is fun..

 

 

Well I do like the matrix version.. shapeshiter at all.. i just dont like that much that she was Lex Luthor's sex pet.

 

Then it comes the Peter David era.. that I never care.. all that Angel merged with matrix and I dunno what more.. never hooked me.

 

And I'm really loving this new version....

Supergirl #27

 

Good issue.

 

1st page rocks.. Lara saying to a sick kid.. "i'm Not going to let you Die", and then a mistery starts.

 

One soldier appears, froze time and tries to kill Kara using Kryptonite bullets. He misses and then something happen and both the soldier and SG disappear and go to another place.

 

It looks like another time travel-paradox story. And that could be good and bad. if Pucket handle this one nice. it could help Kara's background.. make her grow. if not.. it will be awful and worthless.

 

But at least its nice and make me want to buy the next issue. And thats a win.

 

Art its sometimes nice, sometimes awfully sketchy.

 

I wish DC gave this title a nicer artist. it looks like DC changes style every 5 books or so.. Turner, (Sup-Bat) Churchill, Garza, Conner, and so many..

 

Well, lets see what happen next month on SG.
