So I've written a fair share on my opinion of Kara's New 52 journey in some other reviews, as she has bounced from one hyperactive situation to another with no small degree of mistrust, but as Tony Bedard takes over the book with Emanuela Lupaccino in Supergirl, Vol. 4: Red Daughter of Krypton, there's really only one thing the reader needs to know:Kara Zor-El is really, really angry.If you really want to know why she's so angry, I suppose you could go back and get all of the convoluted details

In this attempt to make Supergirl mor modern, I really think they have only made her grittier and less likeable... although, given her backstory, it IS understandable.But that doesn't mean I enjoy it.

Slow to start, and Red Guy Gardner looks terrible, but once the story gets going its a good read. Although you will get sick of the phrase 'magic blood pool'.

4.5Kara becomes a red lantern because she is angry, tired and in pain. And I loved it so much.Teen girls are never allowed in media to be angry and it is wonderful to see that Kara has a space to deal with her complicated and very understandable emotions. Red Daughter of Krypton shows a huge development from Kara. She had embraced her past, but finally, she embraces her powers and emotions. I'm glad that the comic deals with Kara's trauma. Stories with superheroes normally ignore emotional and p...

I rather enjoyed this volume. The costume design for Red Lantern Kara was pretty cool. The story was pretty fast paced, and had high stakes. I was rather disappointed that we did not get more backstory on why Kara got kicked out, but again lots of crossover here, with both Red and Green Lantern. Overall, I thought this was a pretty good installment in the series.

I wanted to like this so much more than I actually did. I dream of someday seeing a talented female writer take the helm on this book. It's just been such a mess since the beginning of the New 52.

I really wanted to love this volume, I mean it has Kara in space as a Red Lantern! What could be cooler? But it just has a couple of shortfalls that couldn't move it from the like to love category. First, once again this volume is caught up in several crossovers. There is more stuff with Dr. Veritas and a demon named Blaze that never gets finished, Lobo shows up and then just disappears, Siobhan/Silver Banshee has a shady seeming new roommate that isn't really explained, we get parts of Kara's a...

This is what happens when you elevate a title out of the creative doldrums, but leave half the story to happen in other books.What a colossal pain in the ass this collection is, in largest part because the story is actually really good. For starters, it's a great concept: Kara becomes a Red Lantern when the rage boiling inside her overflows. It's simple, it speaks to the character, and it gives Kara an actual purpose rather than having her bump into alien after alien who wants to bring Krypton b...

Tony Bedard has taken over the writing and it shows. Much better pacing although I'd prefer some subplots in addition to non-stop punching. Cinar's art is quite good as well.

Good! So I have not read any of the previous volumes of this series, nor do I really want to; I just got this because it has Supergirl becoming a Red Lantern; but that's maybe my inner 12 year old child saying, awesome!!! That's not say this was not good; it was very good! So the story has Supergirl; being a moody teenager basically, angry at everyone trying to boss her around; and certain circumstances lead up to her becoming a Red Lantern! I did not really care for the moody teenager angle; I'...

This just cemented the fact that I don't want to read any of the Lantern titles.

This wasn't bad. So we have Supergirl get a red ring and become a Red Lantern! However, this is a different red lantern team than what I'm used to since I've only read volume 1-2 so Guy hasn't joined the Red Lanterns yet. So when Kara is just flipping her shit the red ring finds her and she becomes one. First the green lanterns have to hold her back but once they bring her to the Red Lanterns, we get some big character development for Kara. It's pretty fun. While not great, and the villain is bo...

The Supergirl story line gets completely hijacked to make her a member of the Red Lantern Corps, which adds nothing to the story of either the Red Lantern Corps or Supergirl. The end result being that this book was compeletely pointless.

I’m really not sure what I was thinking with this one. I kinda like the Red Lanterns – the comically-angsty version of the Green Lantern Corps – and Tony Bedard’s not that bad a writer… yeah, I was wrong. Supergirl, Volume 5: Red Daughter of Krypton is terrible! Supergirl pointlessly fights Abercrombie and Fitch Lobo, then becomes a Red Lantern because Contrived Plot! Her better escapades as a Red Lantern are covered in Charles Soule’s Red Lanterns run, but here she continues to pointlessly figh...

Alright, I may be stretching this week's Shallow Comics buddy read a wee bit by insinuating that Supergirl was Superman's sidekick. However, I'm giving anyone who worked or trained with one of the Major Players sidekick status. So there. Neener neener.Remember the old Supergirl? Sweet Supergirl?Yeah, she doesn't exist in this world. Gone is Clark's culturally confused cousin from out of town, and in her place is an anger-fueled whiny teenager from Krypton. Yep, in the New 52, Supergirl hates Su

(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: A catchall collection, it's a casualty of crossover corpulence: caught in crossfire, cracked, and qualitatively capricious.

I am so glad I finally decided to read these books. I've always been a fan of the girl from Krypton, though she has, for far too long, lived in her cousin's shadow. Even the stories have paled against those of Superman. However, with DC's New52 we finally have a Supergirl to be proud of. This has been due to the great writing and brilliant artwork. And, that doesn't change in this volume.This is what the entire story arc has been leading up to. Poor Kara hasn't been accepted on Earth, she's been...

Some of the DC crossovers are really starting to shit me, because they expect you to buy every single title in order to make sense of the tracking storyline. Sorry, but I am not interested in the Red Lanterns. Hell, even the Green Lanterns struggle to excite me most of the time.DC have to either supply synopses when they collect these volumes so readers know what the hell is going on, or include the relevant issues when necessary. It just creates a huge jarring feeling when in one issue Kara is

Supergirl is back! After a disappointing vol 3, and a vol 4 I have not bothered to read yet, Supergirl is back to being a truly fun comic. I was just geek heaven watching Supergirl terrorize the scum of the universe as a red lantern. This is the most geek fun I have had sense Locutus of Borg terrorized 1994! Great read!
