How it come that DC are have no faith in Supergirl if they giving her solo series every now and then, and even the TV series?? They have less faith in Lobo then in Supergirl, for God's sake!! I think DC are pretty much know that "a female Superman" is a win/win concept, but when it comes to the script not too many writers really knew and know what to do with the heroine in question.

It's a shame that DC didn't have faith in the series. So much so that the TPB is cut horribly. The cut-off text throughout is massively disappointing. Hopefully, the hardcover will be better.

@hrishiv27 2 жыл бұрын

The part that made me cry was at Kara digging the mass grave, and offering to show that man where his daughter’s body was. I also think it’s a testament to how well written this book is that there are multiple different parts that different people cry at. Some very powerful emotions are weaved into this book, and it really does invoke that catharsis I come to Tom King maxi-series for.

@alenor210 7 күн бұрын

For me it was when they're at that beautiful monastery, surrounded by the butchered corpses of monks who didn't even fight back, and Kara finally hits her breaking point, so she flies into the sun where she can scream and cry without hurting Ruthye or damaging the building. It's such a heartbreaking moment, she's spent so long keeping everything to herself, bottling her feelings up, and putting on a hopeful face for everyone else that when she finally can't take it anymore, she can't control her strength and has to physically isolate herself to let it all out. It's not until the very end of the story that she lets herself be emotionally vulnerable with another person.

I've gotta ask...is this the best Supergirl story of all time? It's absolutely the best that I've ever read for Supergirl

@DanV900 2 жыл бұрын

It is certainly up there, but the final arc of Peter David’s Supergirl called Many Happy Returns is fantastic and in contention even though that’s Linda with the passing of that torch and she meets a young Kara pre-Crisis and mentors her. It might be the best Kara story ever at that length. Many would cite Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 with Kara’s death. Spoiler alert, Kara appears at the end of Christmas with the Super-Heroes #2 which was a huge deal since it was after her death with an incredible speech. She explains why heroes do what they do to Deadman who misses the adulation of the crowd as a performer. “We don't do it for the glory. We don't do it for the recognition... We do it because it needs to be done. Because if we don't, no one else will. And we do it even if no one knows what we've done. Even if no one knows we exist. Even if no one remembers we ever existed.” She says at the end, “My name is Kara. But I doubt that will mean anything to you." It’s so powerful since no one remembers Kara after Crisis and says as a meta thing, “We remember” from the creators of that story. Kara appears 2 times in Peter David’s run to help Linda before being reintroduced officially by Jeph Loeb in his Superman/Batman run.

Tiffany, thank you so much for doing this episode. Supergirl has been my favorite comic book character since I was in my early teens (Currently mid 20s) when learning about her origin literally saved me from a near suicidal bout of depression and this book was the first time I ever felt like the person writing her understood the character in the same way I felt I did, so for you to elevate it in this way to the rest of the Population when some of them may never hear of it otherwise makes me so happy.

Years from now this book is going to be regarded as a modern classic, in the same league as All Star Superman and The Dark Knight. And with a recent movie announcement based on this story, which I think is the perfect way to re-introduce Supergirl into the silver screen, this is going to be the definitive version of Supergirl for decades to come.

I love the original concept of Supergirl, she was a bit more angry, she grew up on Krypton and not Kansas, she had friends, and family, and spent years there. That’s why the original supergirl had no qualms about going as hard as possible. She wasn’t raised with that southern charm like Clark was. To add insult to injury when she finally got here her cousin was this mega star that everybody loved, and she was constantly compared to him. In the show they just made Supergirl basically the female Superman. Same job, same personality, same everything. When they are worlds apart, in fact I would argue she has some feelings closer to Zod than Kal. Last thing, one of my all time favorite supergirl moments is her on a beach looking at a girl in a bikini and she mentions she’s using her X-Ray Vision and see silicone but before she can finish Superboy is like “SUPERGIRL NO” and drags her off.

A lot of KZfaq comic reviewers simply will not let go of Tom King writing heroes in crisis or a few issues of Batman that, subjectively, are considered not good. But that doesn’t make the whole of his bibliography poorly written or reliant on tropes. We hold old school creators like Claremont, Kirby, Byrne or adams at cross like length but in all truthfulnesses they have also written and drawn some not so great comics but yet we don’t bash the entirety of their works. King is no exception, I may be biased but I’m a King admirer and have enjoyed a majority of his work (although I felt that Batman/Catwoman was highly indulgent, confusing and directionless… though I’ve only read it once a month as it came out, maybe that opinion will change if I give it another read) and supergirl was such a fantastic peice of work. I admire the comic pop group for being critical of king but praise when it’s good unlike other channels that will just bash it and reach in their criticism of his work

@Fatboyftw32 Жыл бұрын

As a fellow Tom King admirer, Bat/Cat definitely reads better as a whole but still not all that good, it has standout moments but doesn't really build up to a cohesive whole. The Bat/Cat Special is fantastic though, best thing to come out of that story by far.
