I read the New Krypton #5 Supergirl and #6 Superman last night. I have to say the Superman issue sucked really bad. I mean it's the worst issue of New Krypton yet.
Whereas, Supergirl #35 was freaking awesome!
Finally, a writer comes along, like Gates, who knows how to write an exchange between family members that doesn't come off seeming like an obvious tampon commercial featuring a budding teenage girl and her very out of the closet father.
Case in point, in one scene Supergirl and her father were talking...
Her father says, "Do you have sudden mood swings, shifting from one personality to another in a moment's time? Was it hard on you to concentrate on what you were doing?" (btw they bolded the word 'hard' in that sentence in the comic... felt like a Beavis & Butthead joke waiting to happen --)
Then she replies with, " I bleed" (Bleed bolded again... come to think of it, it looks as if they just bold the middle and the last word of every balloon)
A moment later, her father, in what we like to refer to as a 'Fields' headband', places his hand over his mouth in a very straight manner,
and says....
PMS...er, I mean "Kryptonite poisoning."
All this time with Supergirl and we don't have to deal with some demon erasing history and memories or some lame ass mechanic as that, instead we get outer space rock poisoning that caused her to have false memories.
Freaking classic.
Best.
Story.
Ever.
Sincerely,
'Bizzaro' Jay
ps...Me thinks Jamal Igle is drawing a drop dead gorgeous version of Supergirl.
