Very inconsistent title. When its good its really good. When its not, it is a confusing mess. The fact they they add parts of other stories here does not help at all.
This was pretty good, but still suffered from some crossoveritis. Not near as bad as the previous volume, but still some. I do like that most of Kara's internal monologue is gone by this point. Far reaching consequences and good action.
Transition form last volume to this one was pretty rocky -- a dropped into the middle of the action sort of way. The plot for the next half of the book hangs together well, but then we get to a crossover of some kind between Superboy, Supergirl, and Superman, with time-streams crossing and alternate histories, and the lack of crossover hints really messes with any clear understanding of what is going on.on the plus side, we get a thorough coverage of Cyborg Superman's history in the New 52. The
(B-) 71% | SatisfactoryNotes: Mostly mediocre, flat and flawed but fine enough, its final third just lays a turd, and stinks the place up pretty rough.
Let's say 3.5 stars--because, like some of the earlier New 52 Supergirl collections, there were some truly great moments in which Kara confronts her anger and the sense of loss at the destruction of Krypton and the life she knew. The issue that tracked Zor-El's conflict with Jor-El about how best to save Krypton from destruction was outstanding. The absolute beating she hands to an adversary during the final confrontation of the Krypton Returns storyline was perhaps the first time in the New 52
As part of the grand New 52 Supergirl arc, this collection was pretty good. We got to see Kara evolve quite a bit, she has become more mature, grown more comfortable in her identity, found a larger purpose in life... but as a stand-alone collection, it wasn't that great. The main plot involving Cyborg Superman (or Cy for short, apparently) is kinda lack-lustre, and not very compelling since so much time is dedicated to explaining-away a strange, alien collective entity. By the time Braniac got i...
This book series cannot decide if it wants to be awesome or awful. Teenage angst is cranked up to eleven; tragedy is served up with a thick layer of melodrama; followed by a brat lashing out at the world around her; and then there's a shocking ending only compounded by its heart wrenching nature. I just hope this roller coaster ride doesn't make me throw up.
I would call this book a prequel. There are some answers here but mostly it is here to illustrate the reason Supergirl belongs to (view spoiler)[Red Lanterns (hide spoiler)]. The frustration of Kara reaches critical point from which there is no turning back ((view spoiler)[except for Saint Walker on Mogo..you think that we forgot about him? (hide spoiler)]). I especially enjoyed the origin story of Cyborg Superman which has a really nice possible consequences. But overall this book is just waiti...
I was getting kind of tired of Supergirl being sick, so thankfully that arc is now over. Some neat ideas storywise but it's tied into the Superman comics too much so that's not as enjoyable for me. Hopefully Supergirl gets a new story to tell instead of piggy-backing on Supes.Issue #22 has a really cool cover:(spoiler only because the image is large)(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]I wrote a separate review for issue #23.1 on the off-chance someone skipped it when this series was being...
Ohmygosh !! Whew.. I had to spell it out...because as you see the start date was like the beginning of the year. Jada & I are on vacation NOW so can catch up on reading . Luckily my brain is in vacation mode so I'm able to comprehend all the darn timelines that's was created. Mind you my daughter loved it . 😒 yep thats my face buttt she entitled to her own opinion. Will I torture myself and try to think positive and pick up another one...ahhh NOPE.
This is likely my favorite DC cosmic offering to date. I like what happened here with Cyborg Superman and the space background to the story.The buts are...Villains month, why was Cyborg Superman a Action Comics offering not Supergirl like it should have been and it is good that it is included here. I think that DC really poorly labeled the Villains month...Black Manta and Oceanmaster still not published (I have a grudge). We get dropped into part 3 of 4 of the story arc Krypton Returns...so it i...
A step down in quality. (Due almost entirely to the involvement of Butthole Scott Lobdell, no doubt.) After a strong start this one is settling into the top rung of the B-list of New 52 titles.
Needlessly, pointlessly, stupidly confusing time travel story arc. Avoid at all costs.
2.5 starsPink Taco Buddy Read with my fellow Shallow Readers!Criteria for this one? Anything with a female lead.The problem with this volume isn't the actual Supergirl issues. They're ok. Not great, just ok.Supergirl has Kryptonite poisoning from her run in with H'el, so she takes off into space to 'die alone'...or something. She runs into a planet that can become any other planet, and it needs her memories to become Krypton...because that's the purpose of the planet.But.Not all is as it seems!
There's a blurb on the front of Out of the Past that says "Supergirl feels like we really can't have any expectations, because anything is possible." Oh, blurb-writer, how correct you are. Anything is possible, because I can make up half of the story IN MY HEAD since everything everywhere is effing crossovers.I had a hard time warming up to this volume because I don't get along with Diogenes Neves's artwork. I can't draw so Neves shouldn't take this personally. (I know, artists love to troll Goo...
This book just can't get it together ever since the first volume. The art from Mahmad Asrar is long gone and the writing by Michael Nelson has gone really far downhill. It switches back and forth between a juvenile pout-fest and a pathetic attempt at sounding self-important. What's worse is how disjointed the story is. The whole Cyborg Superman story goes fine. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the new origin for the villain, and it seems like the whole situation's logic is terribly, terrib...
I'm still not convinced we'll ever get a great Supergirl book. This isn't cynicism so much as exhaustion--I'm invested in the Superman family and hold out hope of Kara's potential as a character being realised, but once again the story seems to focus on one aspect of Kara--she misses Krypton--and builds stories around it. Enough is enough--it's time to let Kara be more interesting than this.That said, this is certainly a step up from previous collections. Michael Alan Nelson writes well for a yo...
I liked this better than the earlier books in the series. I am not a big Supergirl fan, and I hate her over-sexualized costume, but this one was an improvement over the others because it wasn't just about rage. There was more depth here even though I still think Supergirl is a brat.
Once again the Supergirl Universe gets bigger and stronger. After the fatal conclusion to H'El On Earth Supergirl is afraid and turns to her one true friend Siobhan. Unfortunately, for her, Siobahn is having a bad day too and rips into Kara. Kara takes off and runs away from Earth after stealing a space scooter from Dr Veritas. It's not long before she comes across a city, on another planet (I'Noxia), that's under attack... except everything isn't quite what it appears.Writer, Michael Alan Nixon...
