Since last week's episode of Smallville featured the teamup of Clark and Supergirl, I thought it would be fitting to review the first issue of the new Superman/Supergirl mini-series. The Smallville episode was good, I hope that this story is as good.

Procede de Krypton como Superman, de quien es prima. Es la segunda sobreviviente del destructivo proceso radiactivo y la lluvia de meteoritos que sufrió el planeta. Siempre rubia y guapa, tiene en su uniforme el escudo con la “S”, si bien el resto es algo diferente al de su primo, y además lo cambia con más asiduidad. Ya me entienden. Los guionistas debieron pensar que “las cosas de las

One of my strange obsessions in life is with the character of Supergirl. I’m not really sure why I think she’s awesome, but I think part of it has to do with the fact is that she’s just like Superman… but a hot chick. I’d take being rescued by a hot blonde over a big [...]

Kara Zor-El, Supergirl 1First appearance: Action Comics #252, 1959. Her reintroduction was in Superman/Batman #8, 2004.Current status: member of DCU again.Was subjected to the following acts of discrimination: during the Bronze Age, when she first had a solo series during the early 1970s, she’d be depicted quite a few times reacting to a failed romance by sobbing. Since her re-intro, or during the time between then and early 2007, they overly sexualized her with the way they draw her skirt almost sliding off her hips on the cover art. (Example: issue #21 of the current series.)What’s wrong with how this was done? Her characterization during the early 70s was awkward at best and hardly at all a good way to depict someone dealing with failed love life. And today, as welcome as Kara’s r

Why doesn't Supergirl wear pants? The skirt isn't very functional.
Anyway, besides being a very odd pilot for a New Doom Patrol series, these issues feature–as usual–some wonderful little moments, but are a tad disappointing overall. There's a lot of good, superhero comic stuff in here (from Supergirl's well-meaning, but meddling friends to Linda Danvers happy to have to do real work in class, something Supergirl wouldn't have to bother with) and Infantino's art is really growing on me for the series. Maybe not the specifics–Linda Danvers has, at latest count, four romantic interests and Infantino basically gives them different colored hair–but his handling of Supergirl is excellent. Even though she's in the little skirt, there's nothing cheesecake about it… and it doesn't make you feel creepy reading it, like Loeb's series did (or looking at it, I've never actually tried reading it, just paging through it in the shop to make fun of
With these two issues (actually only with issue #7), Kupperberg adopts a new format for Supergirl. Instead of (essentially) a two-parter ending on a breather (like #5 did), #7 ends on a cliffhanger… so I had to decide if I wanted to keep reading or split them up. Obviously, I split them up. It really pisses me off–I’ll try to get back to the first of the two issues and the first half of the second issue in a second, but I’m ranting here–because the lead in to the cliffhanger in #7 was freaking awesome. I mean, it was nothing more complicated than Linda Danvers going to a jazz festival with some roommates, but it did leagues for establishing Supergirl as a character… Linda Danvers wanted to do stuff, Supergirl wants to enjoy stuff she otherwise could not. There’s that tripartite aspect to her identity (Supergirl, Kara, Linda Danvers) and I barely thought about it before these issues, when she thinks of herself as Kara, then as Linda Danvers (
The Gang has to win as the silliest supervillain team (at least in my recent memory). I think there are five members, they wear brightly colored outfits, and they all have different “powers.” I’m not sure about the powers, because it seems like their suits give them–for the most part–those powers. They’re from Chicago’s South Side and I guess they’re trying to get ahead through a life of crime. All I can think is, does Geoff Johns know about this team? Brad Meltzer, maybe? In late 1990s, when I was working in downtown Chicago, an eight year-old black kid got beaten to death for crossing the wrong street on the South Side (by, like, white adults) and I had a South Side co-worker who defended the principle to everyone… not the extent, but the principle. I’m sure Meltzer could have the Gang rape and murder the Wonder Twins and could sell it to eight year-olds… whatever.
So, in other words, the second issue of two is kind of lousy. The Gang’s rea
Near as I can tell, Supergirl #3 finishes off the story started in the first issue, which probably means I could have–and should have–just read the first three instead of one-by-one. Not in the modern, “Part I of III,” easy to trade way of thinking, but in that old school primary plot continues and then resolves, while subplots get bigger. That said, I’m not sure what really needed resolving in this issue. It’s all build up for future events–whether it’s Supergirl’s job (for a seedy professor) or John Ostrander… sorry, Johnny… getting his own job for a bunch of corporate crooks–with the most immediate events being a big fight scene.
If I remember the previous issue correctly, it featured Supergirl fighting a villain who could actually inflict damage. Here she is fighting a different (but connected) villain who can also–surprise, surprise–inflict damage (though less than the last one). So some tease and some useless fight sc
No podíamos estar sin ella mucho tiempo más, así que (por petición popular) pueden ver avances de "Kara", segundo episodio de la nueva temporada de SMALLVILLE; y del tercer episodio "Fierce".

The second issue runs shorter (there’s a Lois Lane backup I’ll cover at a future date) and–no, I’m not just saying it because writer Paul Kupperberg commented on the first issue–it’s a serious improvement. It’s a resolution to the previous issue’s cliffhanger, supporting cast establishing and the intro to the next issue (with another cliffhanger, of course).
The first half of the issue is a fight scene resolving the previous issue’s cliffhanger. I never would have thought Carmine Infantino would do a dynamic fight scene, but he really does. He has one particularly nice panel duo in which Supergirl punches the villain from the bottom left of one panel to the bottom right of the other. It’s a really nice sequence.
The writing also helps. While I’m not a fan of the villain, Kupperberg’s Supergirl characterization would seem like it was Sumerian if it showed up today. She’s confident, intelligent, brave and get believably angry at times. Obviously, since
Going back to 1980s, thought-balloon filled, endlessly omnisciently narrated comic books is a bit of a chore. It shouldn’t be–a well-written thought-balloon or a well-written omniscient narrator should be fine… and maybe they are. Except Paul Kupperberg is annoying when he does the second–this issue of Supergirl is constant, explanatory narration and it’s exhausting to read. The thought-balloons aren’t bad.
Here’s the problem, giving Kupperberg all the benefit of artistic doubt. This issue is supposed to set Supergirl up for her titular daring new adventures, which requires a recap and an establishing. The recap is handled poorly… it doesn’t need to be here. It’s a number one, an “electrifying” one if a person were to believe the cover, so conventional wisdom says it needs the origin recap. Except Kupperberg’s Supergirl is not Kara Zor-El, she’s Linda Danvers and, at most, Linda Danvers needs a recap of saying goodbye to her foster parents

A classic XXL set of Melyssa Ford done justice. “Supergirl”, a nickname “X” gave her as she re-tells it…
When X first saw me he was like, ‘I’ve never seen a woman with dmiensions like you. You’ve got this great big ass and these huge breasts.
Ya, there is a god. Melyssa was studying to be a forensic psychology before she got in the game. Think about that the next time you are watching CSI. Hell, they should cast her, I might actual start watching.

Almost two months ago, when it was told that Tony Bedard was going to be the writer for Supergirl, that alone did seem like great news, didn't it? But what wasn't clear to me at the time was just how many he'd be writing. I did a search and found that Bedard went onto CBR's board and said it'd be three issues. And to make matters worse, I noticed that issue #20 and issue #21 were connected to two crossovers, Amazons Attack and Countdown. Then I started to frown.I know that some out there were surely excited by the news, but if this is how it's going to be, then that's why I suspect now that this may be a very cleverly orchestrated trick: buy an acclaimed writer's work but at the price of its being part of a crossover!Well that's why now I'm starting to feel dismayed, and if I were you, Superfans, I'd suggest holding back from buying those issues due to their crossover status, certainly because one of them is part of an awful x-over like Amazons Attack. I think I can see what

Japanese toy maker Kotobukiya has a Supergirl coming out that is hot with a capital *boing*.
I realize that statues aren’t something I cover here because they aren’t toys, but I have to make an exception here. I’ve got a bit of a thing for Supergirl. While I’m not one of those perverts that gets a boner from a drawing of a girl, I certainly have some sort of affinity for the girl in blue. I’m not sure at what point I realized I totally thought that Supergirl was the comic female of choice over any other cartoon lady, but It happened. I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed with Supergirl or anything like that. I follow her comics and that’s about as far as it goes, although I did get my fiancee, Diane, to dress up like Supergirl for Halloween. Whether or not that had any impact in my decision to marry her I’m not at liberty to say.
This statue carries that bizarre aura of really hot, while making me feel rather uncomfortable. The version of
