DC's events really damage this last volume. You need to read Event Leviathan before this. Then an issue or two in you also need to have read Batman/Superman Volume 1: Who are the Secret Six? as Supergirl's circumstances change drastically in that book. You will be very lost without reading it first. (DC is doing its best to force you to read all their titles.) The rest of this is just Supergirl limping along until DC mercifully kills the title. I like Jody Houser and I by no means blame her for
Supergirl returns to Earth after successfully defeating The Circle, only to find Leviathan, the Batman Who Laughs, and even her own psyche out to get her!The Leviathan arc that opens this book feels far separate to the rest of it, unfortunately, as Marc Andreyko bids adieu to the series. There are some good little ties back to the early days of the series (we've come a long way since the Orlando run), but the book sets up a lot of plot points that just do not have time to get resolved.Jody House...
Well that was as chaotic as I kind of expected, not having really followed the Metal storyline nor volumes 1 or 2 of this Supergirl run. Picked it up on a whim as I was curious what a Jokerized Supergirl would be like. Erm, it was interesting I suppose, in how Kara tried to "save" everyone, but it all was too rushed. Poor Krypto's drawing style was not flattering, either.
Finally, another Supergirl story arc that lives up to my expectations. In this collection, Kara Zor-El comes off as a rounded character with emotions to feel and personal demons to fight, instead of the flat teenager bumbling her way through the universe.Through the actions and events of the story, we are asked the question: If a person's intentions are good, does that justify using questionable means?Because of crossovers with other comics and the nature of trade paperbacks, some questions are
Synopsis: Kara arrives back on earth to find that the DEO and other agencies have been attacked by Leviathan and Eliza is believed to be dead. Kara reunites with Jeremiah and the two are attacked by Leviathan, who tries to recruit Kara to the cause. Eliza is relieved to be with Leviathan and Kara leaves when she hears the alarm in the Fortress of Solitude going off. We get what happened in Batman/Superman Vol. 1 where Kara gets infected by the Batman Who Laughs joker toxin.From there, Kara actua...
When Kara returns from her adventure in space (see previous Volume) she comes back during both the "Leviathan" and "Year of the Villain" storylines. First, she tries to find her adoptive parents only to find her mom dead and her dad re-initiated as a spy and fighting against Leviathan. Responding to an alarm at the Fortress of Solitude, she tackles Brainiac-1 who is collecting info. But only when she gets involved in a fight where the Trinity are fighting the infected heroes now working for The
It's a dirty rotten shame how Supergirl, once again, gets the short end of the stick as her book is completely taken over by events going on in the rest of the DC Universe, and she and her book series are just along for the ride.
Read in single issues: Supergirl 34-36, and since the trade mentioned those issues and “more”, I assumed it was Supergirl Annual 2 and Superman/Batman 5.Anyway. The story was horrible. I couldn’t care less about Leviathan or the Batman Who Laugh’s infection, and certainly the part Supergirl is playing here is basically irrelevant. I think the book’s plot line derailed when it joined these DC events. Leviathan looks like a never ending story and it generates so little interest in spite of coverin...
Esse encadernado da Supergirl tem um gosto daqueles "almanacões de férias" que a gente lia, bem... na férias... Contudo, eu não tenho férias e esse "almanacão" não é divertido, só tem um monte de páginas. Também pudera, as histórias da Supegirl ficaram prensadas entre dois megaeventos da DC Comics: Evento Leviatã e Ano dos Vilões, fazendo com que a garota de aço tivesse como coadjuvantes Superman, Batman, Mulher-Maravilha, tudo para fazer o título vender mais. Mas não adiantou, foi cancelado. Es...
I don't always think events ruin comics but...this goddamn villain of the year shit RUINED Supergirl. After two fun, exciting, solid volumes we get a messy as fuck conclusion. Right away you can tell Marc wanted to finish his supergirl run but the stupid infection of her came in. He wrote it best he could, and the build up to it was pretty interesting, but then she became this gothic/emo/scene hipster wannabe supergirl that was just intolerable. Then poor Jody Houser, who's a great writer, playe...
Ridiculously disjointed. Dreadful dialogue. Boring fights. Frankly, this was completely woeful.If you haven’t read Event Leviathan, the first couple of issues will make no sense. If you haven’t read Batman/Superman: Who are the Secret Six? then the next few issues won’t make sense either. And if you want the storyline of Kara turning into some weird reject from the Insane Clown Posse to resolve, then be set for disappointment, as you turn the page and she’s just … over it for some reason. Becaus...
This one is...all over the place. This one goes very hurriedly into some dark stuff happening in Supergirl's world to her being infected by the Batman Who Laughs and going on a bit of a edgy rampage in stories like, "I'm the Bad Guy."It's really not fun reading and it's a hot mess with most of it "character insights" coming off as a bit weak and nonsensical. Given that they had their choice of who would become "infected," it seems that someone didn't really have a plan of what was going to happe...
