Why Not Save More?
Supergirl's quick trip to the future in the previous issue I think has ignited a spark. I don't know what that futuristic assassin was trying to accomplish by killing Supergirl, but I think it had an opposite effect. If he never tried to kill Supergirl, I really don't think she'd all of a sudden be on this mission, or seem so driven all of a sudden.
Instead of saving people one at a time why not save billions? Supergirl wants to cure cancer and has enlisted Resurrection Man and a nano-scientist to help her.
I really like the direction this comic has taken. If I hadn't of seen it through to this current issue I doubt I would have ever picked another one up again. These last issues have gotten consistently better and better. If the DC folks string enough of these types of issues in a row, they just might make me forget about how crappy this series started out. That's the trouble though. If this was a new series that started out a few issues ago the comic instantly probably be a must read for me. However, because of the crap I had to sit through to get to this point, I think it has to make amends to me before I can really say this is a good comic series. It is just too early.
I have really enjoyed the past few issues though and can't wait to see if Supergirl comes up with something good. Many times though she just lets herself down or fails... one of these days she may be successful, though I don't think this time will be it... curing cancer?
