    Aftermath

    Cover: I liked the cover a lot.
     
    Art: The art was gorgeous.  I found myself stopping during the story many times admiring the art and backgrounds.  Even the citizens of Metropolis were interesting. 
     
    Story/Plot: Supergirl is dealing with a lot of pain after what happened to New Krypton.  I thought the emotions conveyed were appropriate.  It has been, I believe, a month since the big war happened.  She has already shed her tears.  I am happy to see her relationship with Lana is continuing.  The scenes with Superwoman spark my interest and I wonder what will become of her.  Gangbuster and Dr Light's parts in the story were well done.  I think the new direction will be good for Supergirl.  I was not thrilled with who popped up at the end.  AAARGH...oh well. 
     
    Characterization/Continuity: On characterization, I think Gates is capturing how I think an alien teenager who is trying to fit in would act.  Very well done. 
     
    Best Part To Me: Supergirl's dreams...they are so bleak. 
     
    Worst Part To Me: The reveal at the end. 
     
    Overall: I would strongly recommend this issue especially to those who were thinking of picking up this title as it is now a good jumping on point.  I am sure others will enjoy the end of the book.  I will not let that destroy my rating.

      The Story Supergirl and her twisted Bizarro doppelganger clash in a all out battle!! Oh yeah and there's some other stuff too. :)   The Good  Let's see where should I start... How about the intense battle between Supergirl and her Bizarro double? It take place for a majority of the issue, but it really is a fluidic conflict and it totally keeps you captivated throughout. Secondly, the look at Bizarrogirl's origin in regards to how she got to earth and the planet Htrae was so solid and ...

      In the wake of the War of the Supermen, Kara deals with the loss of her family and her people, and threatens to leave the life of super-heroism once and for all, while an enemy joins S.T.A.R. Labs and causes ruckus in Metropolis.  The Good I don't regularly read this book, but on occasion I've been known to pick it up and give it a read through, and after each read through I always ask myself, "Why isn't this on my pull list." It never fails. I loved the dialogue between Lana and Kara in th...
