Supergirl Vol. VI

review 1: Well of course there would be a scene of undressing in a book about one of the most powerful women in DC. How else are you going to bring her down a peg or two, so she's less threatening to the male ego? Good lord people of DC editorial, are you all refugees from an insurance commercial?Even with help from Mike Johnson, Green seems unable to curb the excessive obvious explanations that (a) aren't even things the characters would bother to say out loud they're so obvious to them, and (b) are entirely redundant to any observant reader who is looking at the pictures - which I suspect were called for in Green's script. Or perhaps it's Asrar who doesn't have any more imagination than to illustrate exactly what he sees outlined in the dialogue and captions?Doesn't matter. Tireso... moreme. Want to punch a creator in their stupid face.Oh wait, more misogyny. Delicious. This time they bring in false memories of a time when Supergirl was told all about "traditions" that would wed her to someone other than her choosing - when they imply that her own father and mother didn't have to follow the same protocol.Geez Green, are you going to teach this alien the ways of Earth by showing her how to bake via Paula Deen? Perhaps we could outline the use of diaper pins or a kitchen mop, in case we're unclear of her rightful place among us.Maybe I wouldn't be so fucking grumpy if Green didn't narrate every single non-dialogue panel with the most inane running description of what's going on or what we've just seen or...It occurs to me that I should consider the culpability for this schlock as the Editor's fault. I'm sitting here reading these panels, cutting unnecessary dialogue in my head. What if the editor had done her job, and suggested some simple slashing to cut the words by half? Wouldn't entirely solve the problems here, but god help me i wouldn't want to claw my brain out of its bony pail.We also get to see a neutered military confront Supergirl over and over, but strangely the supergroups who could reach out and take control of the situation are mysteriously nowhere to be found. Kind of odd that they'd show up to take on any two-bit villain, but an omega-level threat who keeps crossing paths with tanks? Hmm, might as well stay out of that one, no worries there.At least the zero issue was decent. Wish it was all like this.
review 2: After the decent debut in Supergirl: The Last Daughter of Krypton, the series takes a nosedive with this exposition filled volume of coincidences and flashbacks.Arcs: Supergirl meets Siobhan, who can speak her language. They ditch the cops after the battle with the Worldkillers, and become friends.At a concert, they are attacked by Black Banshee, Siohan's father. After a crazy battle INSIDE him, Supergirl is able to get Silver Banshee to defeat her evil father.In the second arc, Supergirl fights an enemy with a nano suit who is trying to kidnap her alive.In the final arc, Supergirl's less than serene coming to Earth is revealed.Let's keep this review short. This volume was boring. The first half with Silver Banshee wasn't too interesting, and it was very convenient for Siobhan to be able to speak Kryptonese. The battle inside Black Banshee wasn't very exciting, nor was the fight with the nano suit man.The biggest gripe for me was the flashbacks. They stuffed them in there excessively, and I didn't care. It really doesn't matter how Kara got to Earth, if it was violent and unwanted. It really doesn't affect her now, so its not worth telling. It leaves us with a cliffhanger, but without satisfying us in the current volume.This volume of Supergirl feels like filler. She will appear in the crossover He'l of Earth, but hopefully after the writers will give her some more depth or cool villains to face. No more flashbacks and uninteresting things. less
